I call the attention of the able Senator from Michigan to the fact that it does not say In revolt against the United Nations. I read this language: Persons who. since the end of hostilities in the Second World War * * * have become sponsors of movements encouraging refugees not to return to their country of origin. Of course. those people cannot return to the country of their origin. If the Yugoslavs referred to should go back to their former homes. they would be killed. and Is not that equally true of some 200.000 Poles who fought alongside the British. who fought first against Russia and then fought against Germany. and cannot go back because they would be put into slavery by Russia. or executed? I call the attention of the able Senator to the language in the agreement itself. If they "sponsor movements which encourage refugees not to return to their country of origin." they cannot be helped. That seems a severe provision. I am merely trying to point out some things in the document to which we are subscribing which I wish could be eliminated.
