Do not misunderstand me to believe that all of the proponents of these amendments are insincere. because I am sure such is not the case. I simply do not understand the reasoning of those who are really interested in the success of this endeavor. The displaced Pole. the Chinese coolie. the Philippine guerrilla will suffer just as much and be equally dead if his starvation results from delaying amendments to this legislation. no matter how high sounding may be their purpose. as if he had starved as a result of our failure to participate in this worthwhile endeavor at all. or our failure to continue such participation by defeating this legislation. Yes. the Greek peasant who needs a few seed to plant early next spring in order to put himself on a selfsustaining basis next fall will be just as hungry then and just as much a public charge if his failure to receive those seed results from delaying amendments as he would should it result from our failure to pass the bill at all. I might add that none of these can eat freedom of the press. nor do any of them exert great influence on whether or not it exists in their country.
