We are making arrangements nor to get possibly
One Hundred Thousand of these people into South
America - principally into Brazil.
I certainly would like to take the Immigration
Committeemen of the Senate and the House on a tour
of these camps and let them listen to the stories
of the situation as it actually is. I think
possibly their viewpoint would change.
I am not interested in the politics of the situa-
tion, or what effect it will have on votes in the
United States - I am interested in relieving a half
million people of the most distressful situation
that has happened in the world since Attila made
his invasion of Europe.
Your ancestors and mine, if I remember correctly,
case to this country to escape just such conditions.
There is no place for people to go now unless we
can arrange it.
I appreciate very much your letter and your interest
in these things and I am glad to write you very
frankly on the subject.
Sincerely yours,
MARRY S. TRUMAN
