Pate in Europe last year when he made an exhaustive tour of inspection into many of the countries where this childrens feeding program was in operaton. At that time. I called hisattention to the fact that many of the refugee children in Germany were in serious need of supplemental food and he was quick to recognize the situation and his prompt action resulted in considerable improvement there. It is my understanding that if the fund is given this interim additional authorization it will be possible for Mr. Pate to extend further the supplemental feeding of hundreds of thousands of refugee children in Germany who are seriously undernourished. This House. a few days ago. passed the amendment to the Displaced Persons Act. When this bill finally becomes law. much of the problem facing the 700.000 displaced persons scattered over the world should be partially solved. But it will not do much toward solving the problem of the approximately 14.000.000 expellees who I am told are presently in the western zone of Germany. These are the refugees who were expelled from various countries of Europe under the Potsdam Agreement. The economic problem created by these 14.000.000 expellees in Germany is beyond human comprehension and it is high time that the people of the world pay some attention to it now. I visited many of the camps of these expellees and I can testify to the pathetic conditions under which they exist.
