Malik Discusses Problem of DPs, Poses Solutions “There are 600,000 homeless, displaced persons in Europe to day,” John Malik, junior in politi cal science told members of the International Relations club this week at the YMCA. Thousands of political refugees refuse to return to their homes which are now m Soviet held ter ritory, and thousands more have no homes to go to since they were obliterated by the ravages of war, he said. Most of these people are herded into camps in the American zone in Western Germany. Some of the European nations, England, France, Belgium and Switzerland, are searching the dis placed persons’ camps for talented scientists, technicians, and skilled labor to work in their own coun tries. Belgium insists that al though it is over-populated it needs coal miners and will accept them only from the D.P.'s ranks, and Argentina wants to restrict im megrants to agricultural workers from Spain or Portugal, he ex plained. Some D.P children are accepted in France and England, and some men and women escape ancl illegal^ enter other countries in South America, Europe and the U.S., he said. If this keeps up over a long period of time, Malik explained, there will be a hard core of mal contents left who remain as Q.P.s for the benefit of the food and clothing which is doled out to them free by the international refugee organization. It was disclosed that three pos sible solutions to this problem have been considered by the IRO. D.P.g could be sent to countries like Ire land and Switzerland which have not used up their immigrant quo tas, and could absorb them easily; the unused U.S. quota from 1930 to 1947 could be given to the im migration of D.P.s, regardless of nationalities; and the Stratton bill in congress is being considered. The bill would allow 100,000 refugees over our quota to come in per year, Malik said. If the immi gration is carried over for a long period of time at that rate it is believed that the influx would not be a shock to our labor or housing problem. Labor has not put up any organized resistance to the Strat ton bill but the American Legion has voiced disapproval on the grounds that it would create a more acute housing shortage than FOR RENT 2 room, furnished house for married couple with car.
