On the other hand. in this matter of the displaced persons. which has been a military question of taking care of some people found in our zones. for one thing in order to preserve order. it was felt that it was time to start up an international organization to carry out this international responsibility. and therefore the IRO was formed for that purpose. The gentleman. I am sure. has cited nothing in connection with the relief measure which would warrant anyone expecting that the refugees were to be supported out of the $350.000.000 relief bill. Let me remind the House that Germany is excluded from the relief bill. that this Congress wrote in the countries that were to receive the relief. and Germany was not one of them. Germany has 850.774 out of the 1.037.404 DPs. so that fourfifths of the DPs are in Germany. which does not get a dime of the relief money and. as we explained yesterday. none of the military appropriations generally for supporting Germany go to the DPs.
