There is no doubt that many displaced persons and refugees filtered over into the American and British zones. But the fundamental difference. which the Senator will immediately recognize. is that in the American zone we flatly refuse to permit any involuntary repatriation. In the Russian zone all repatriation Is involuntaryor else voluntary. one or the other. So it is fundamentally a great American principle that displaced persons. refugees. and persecutees who are the victims of the war shall not be sent back to places where they are afraid of their lives if they go. We stand immutably against involuntary repatriation. and that is why we have camps. That is why the Russians do not.
