WHEREAS, Many hundreds of thousands of Displaced Persons who are unwilling to return to their countries of origin for fear of persecution still remain in the camps in Germany, Austria, and Italy because the Displaced Persons Act of 1948 has proven too complicated to bring our fair share to the United States.
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Southern Baptist Convention reaffirms the declaration made in May, 1947;
FURTHER, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Southern Baptist Convention is in favor of the amendment of the Act to bring to the United States 400,000 such persons in four years and the removal of discriminatory clauses hampering the main purpose of the Act. Due care should be maintained in selecting individuals friendly to our form of government and likely to become good citizens;
FURTHER, BE IT RESOLVED, That copies of this resolution be sent to the Senators and Congressmen from all states represented in the Southern Baptist Convention.
