(text deleted). As proof of what Mr. Edeiken is saying, I present the official document on the subject: _The DP Story_ The Displaced Persons Commission John W. Gibson, Chairman Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office August 15, 1952 Page 248: "Religion" Forty-seven percent of all the immigrants under the DP Act were of the Catholic faith; 35 percent of the Protestant and Orthodox faith; 16 percent of the Jewish faith; and one percent of other faiths. More than half of the German expelee group, 51 percent, were of the Catholic faith, the remaining 49 percent were of the Protestant and Orthodox faith." Mr. Beaulieu will probably stamp his little feet in anger and demand that we give the absolute numbers. Very well: Page 243 "By June 30, 1952, a total of 393,542 immigrants had been admitted under the Displaced Persons Act. (It is to be noted that this number includes only those actually admitted and not those visaed.) Eighty five and seven tenths percent of all immigrants admitted under the act by this date were displaced persons; 13.6 were German expelees and less than 1 percent were orphans and adopted children of German ethnic origin." Let's see now, 16 percent of 393,542 equals 69,667 Jews. This hardly makes a dent in the millions that went missing. [The remainder of Mr. Edeiken's text deleted with apologies] Harry W. Mazal OBE
