Doreen Warriner said, ´´l don´t know
what we will do about the children. ´´
:21:10
Almost spontaneously l said,
´´Well, when l get back to England...
:21:14
´´...l find that the Home Office
will allow them in...
:21:17
´´...we´ll try and get some of them
into England. ´´
:21:21
And when l went to the Home Office,
they said:
:21:25
´´Under certain conditions, you can bring in
as many children as you like. ´´
:21:30
We had to produce...
:21:31
...somebody who´d guarantee 50
against their re-immigration...
:21:36
...which is about 1,000 today.
It was quite a Iot of money.
:21:40
And then I had to find a famiIy
who´d take each individuaI chiId.
:21:45
lt certainly wasn´t easy,
but it wasn´t that difficult.
:21:48
lt´s easier to get somebody
to take a child than to take a grown-up.
:21:54
l tried to get America involved...
:21:57
...and wrote to a lot of the senators...
:21:59
...and got a Iot of answers
saying how concerned they were...
:22:03
...and aII the reasons
why they couIdn´t do anything.
:22:08
ln the United States...
:22:10
...a congressional bill
to admit 20,000 child refugees...
:22:13
...died in committee.
:22:15
One of the arguments against the bill...
:22:17
...was that accepting children
without their parents...
:22:20
...was contrary to the laws of God.
:22:39
My father said:
:22:42
´´Mommy and l cannot leave,
but you´re going to leave. ´´
:22:45
I said, "´What do you mean,
I´m going to Ieave?"´
:22:47
"´You´re going to EngIand,"´ he said.
:22:50
"´When?"´
:22:51
"´Thursday,"´ he said.
:22:52
I knew...
:22:54
...that she ought to go...
:22:58
...that I ought to send her away...
:22:59
...but I couIdn´t imagine
giving permission for her to go.
