If the allegations contained in the report which was handed me by the Army official to whom I referred are true. they certainly bear out the detailed report which I submitted on the floor of the Senate a few days ago relative to the charges which are made as to conditions in our own military occupied zone and in other zones. Mr. President. this report is dated December 4. 1945. and is entitled "Eyewitnesses Reports From Russian and Polishcontrolled Territories." It states: From a large number of reports. a few have been selected to give a picture of (a) the transport of evacuees through Polish and Russiancontrolled territoriesThe very territory we are talking about today(b) conditions within the refugee camps in the Russian zone. and (c) the situation existing in those parts of the Russian zone to which the stream of refugees has been directed. The reports which are coming it. are to the effect that thousands upon thousands of refugees are crowding into the Americanoccupied zone because of conditions which are worse outside the Americanoccupied zone. This particular report is entitled. "New Wave of Evacuation Zrom Breslau. Eyewitness Report of a Prominent Clergyman." The report states graphically what the condition is in that particular locality: A new wave of evacuation of the German population from Breslau has been going on for the past 2 weeks.
