Austria. and Hungary. Mr. President. there is a very large movement among our citizens in the United States who are eager to be of direct service to the refugees and displaced persons in central Europe in meeting the awful problem of famine and the pressure of disaster which are confronted this winter in these distressed areas. These resolutions which I have presented refer particularly to Germany. Austria. and Hungary. The same sort of appeal has been made very earnestly by others in respect to other areas. I refer particularly to the PolishAmerican Congress in respect to the resumption of postal and parcel post service into the Americanoccupied zone in Germany. where so many Polish refugees are confronting desperate conditions which challenge every humane instinct which we possess. I have discussed this matter at length with the State Department. and I am assured the Department is making urgent efforts to reestablish these postal and parcel post relationships. I think it is of very great importance that every emphasis be put upon the earliest possible resumption of these services.
