Yes. Why? Because President Roosevelt had promised aid. in October 1943. when he said. "We are not fighting German women or the old people of Germany or the little children of Germany. we are fighting Hitlerism." In spite of that. when the International Refugee Association met. we appropriated billions of dollars to feed every starving child in the world except German children. They could starve. so far as the Congress of the United States was concerned. I am sorry the chairman of the Appropriations Committee is not present at this time. but it was only after the distinguished Senator from Tennessee intervened and said that those children must be fed. that the appropriation which the distinguished Senator from Connecticut has mentioned was made and. for the first time. the money was provided.
