They are. however. of such tremendous importance that in my opinion they merit the most careful and fullest consideration by the proper committee. and unless we do somethink here soon the American people are going to wake up some morning terribly disillusigned. It is for this purpose that I submit the following resolution: Resolved. That an appropriate standing committee of the Senate to be designated by the President of the Senate is authorized and directed to make a full and complete study and investigation with a view to ascertaining (1) to what extent important American foreign affairs are being directed by selfadmitted "international officials." (2) how many key positions in agencies supported by American taxpayers are occupied by British subjects who have never become naturalized citizens of the United States. or have taken out only first papers. .(3) whether or not EnglishAmericans have been deliberately planted in these agencies particularly those controlling American foreign affairs not to further American interests but to safeguard and enhance British interests at American expense. (4) how many persons holding positions in the Foreign Economic Administration are proBritish. (5) whether Lauchlin Currie. one of the anonymous executive. assistants to the President and who has recently been appointed Acting Deputy Administrator of the Foreign Economic Administration. is a British subject. (6) whether it Is true that competent American engineers ready. willing. and anxious to do the work have been ignored while persons whb owe allegiance to Great Britain have been hired. Such committee shall report to the Senate at the earliest practicable date concerning the results of its investigation. together with any recommendations it may deem appropriate. For the purpose of this investigation. the committee designated by the President of the Senate. or any duly authorized subcommittee thereof. is authorized to hold such hearings. to sit and act at such times and places during the sessions. recesses. and adjourned periods of the Seventyeighth Congress. to employ such clerical and other assistants. to require bysubpena or otherwise the attendance of such witnesses and the production of such correspondence. books. papers. and documents. to administer such oaths. to take such testimony. and to make such expenditures. as it deems advisable.
