I told my voters that some foreign assistance was justifiable because we could not conscientiously allow friendly democracies that had assisted us in curtailing both World Wars to European soils to be without the necessities of life. Yes. Mr. Chairman. many of the European and Asiatic countries savagely fought for the preservation of democracy and thereby kept the fight off our soils and afforded a great protection to our women and children. However. my investigation of the foreignspending program does not reveal such assistance at our hands to suffering humanity. We find some bigbusiness men in this country collaborating with businessmen abroad to fleece the American taxpayers.
