CAPE FEAR COUNCIL NO. 24, D. OF A.
Dor
WILMINGTON, N. c.
January 24, 1947
Hon. Harry S. Truman
President of the United States
Washington, D. C.
Dear Mr. President:
At a recent meeting of Cape Fear Council No. 24
of the Daughters of America, I, as secretary, was, by
action of the Council, directed to write you stating the
position which our Council takes on the proposed plan to
liberalize the immigration laws and admit a larger number
of persons from concentration camps in Europe and other
places to the United States. Please be advised that the
Daughters of America, a. strictly patriotic American
institution, is opposed to such proposed plan, and we
take this means of soliciting your aid and support in
preventing our immigration laws from being, in any way,
*changed. While we sympathize with and are willing to aid
and assist the unfortunate peoples of Europe as has been
demonstrated by the aid and assistance we have given
them, we do not feel that we should let the immigration
bars down and thereby invite such conditions in this
Country. In other words we are one hundred percent for
keeping America safe for Americans, and we trust that
we can depend on you in this position.
Most cordially yours,
Cape Fear Council No. 24
Daughters of America
