It had not occurred to me that I am not sufficiently suspicious of communism to be adequately diligent against hypotheses of this nature. I can only say to the Senator that if he had faced the bitter opposition. the persistent. the constant opposition of the Soviet Union and its associate powers in connection with this problem. an opposition which is perfectly understandable inasmuch as this organization is committed to the principle that there shall be no involuntary repatriation of refugees and persecuteesif the Senator had faced that opposition day by day by day. he would not indulge in what to me is the rather fantastic notion that for some reason which is entirely beyond my comprehension they are going to offer to join an organization which would require them to surrender the very fundamental principle upon which they deal with displaced persons. namely the principle that displaced persons shall be handled as pawns to suit the state.
