Letter from H. H. Mitchell to President Harry S. Truman

7 by staff Room 6-11-52 133 JUN 11 1952 5.716 April 4, 1952 Truman White House, Washington D.C. con M Re Increase in immigration by 300,000 as you propose. # 1 Why would you remove 300,000 of our friends from Europe when we need every friend there? We need them not only as fighters, but as votes against the communists. A block of 300,000 votes in Germany or any other country there can make quite a showing. 2 We spend millions to make converts so they will appose, even in a small way, the communist rule. Why do you want to take them from the place where they will do our cause the most good. 3 Some of those people may die in apposing communism. Why would you rather have our young men die in their stead? 4 You have thrown an unbelievable debt upon our children and grand children and theirs. Why would you take away their frontiers too? Why would you hurry America into overpopulation. Do you find nothing sacred in America? 5. I can not address you as president. You have lowered it so.
