Speech #770026787

I believe the House is willing and ready to accept the statement of the Secretary of the Treasury. backed up by the statement of the gentleman. concerning the financial responsibility of Great Britain in its transactions. although there may be some question concerning the shipment of gold from Canada. about $3.500.000.000 last year. May I ask the gentleman a question concerning what is commonly referred to as refugee money in the United States? It has been recently brought to my attention that out of 22 major real estate deals made in my town. threefourth$ were purchases made with refugee money from countries other than Great Britain. There must be a great deal of that money coming over here. I have tried to find out how it has come here. I have found one source. that is. insuring bonds In Europe under Lloyds and then burning the bonds before witnesses. thereby having proof of the burning of them. and then having the funds replaced in the United States. I wonder if the gentleman has any idea how much of this refugee money from countries which we hope will be restored has been brought to the United States in any such manner as that.
