Mr. President. I wanted to discuss the special case of the socalled White Russian refugees who are now on the island of Samar. in the Philippines. I recalland I think it important that the Senate recognize the factthat most of these people originally were driven from Russia at the time of the Bolshevik revolution of 1917. Some of them had been Identified with the old czarist regime. Some had been identified with the liberal government of Alexander Kerensky. Some had been identified with the various nonCommunist leaders who fought during the Russian civil war. All of them felt that their lives would be in danger if they remained in Russia. and. of course. many of those who remained behind were liquidated. or are still in Siberia. in the salt mines or elsewhere.
