We are making arrangements now 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 situation,
or what affect 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
AHila
made his invasion of Europe.
Your Ancestors and mine, if I remember correctly,
came 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
frank on the subject.
