As was testified to us by General Hilldring. who was the State Department oicial concerned. a former general of the Army who had this thing in tow for years. we could not possibly run an operation on the austerity basis that an international organization can run it. He gave us another example. shoes. He said the United States Army shoes cost not less than twice as much for each of these refugees and DPs as this international organization will pay for them. Therefore. the difference in cost. which is extremely material. about 50 percent less. is accounted for by the fact that they will run the kind of a show that ought to be run on an austerity basis for these camps. which we could not possibly do. This accounts for the difference in cost of about $50.000.000 a year.
