It places on the ECA Administrator an important duty. This mandate is contained in section 115 (e) of the Economic Cooperation Act. Section 115 (e) provides that the ECA Administrator shall encourage arrangements among the ECA countries in conjunction with the International Refugee Organization. looking toward the largest practicable utilization of manpower available in any of the ECA countries in furtherance of the accomplishment of the purposes of economic recovery. That provision was contained in the basic ECA Act of 1948. and still is the law. The International Refugee Organization. however. is due to wind up by the end of December 1951. Thus. it is obvious that the Administrator will have to look to some other means for accomplishing the objective of effective utilization of European manpower. According to a plan which is being worked out. in the first year of operation. close to 100.000 people could be moved from Europe to the various immigrantreceiving countries. The effectuation of that plan depends largely on the immediate availability of the 14 converted passenger vessels now being used by the International Refugee Organization. Therefore. the creation of a temporary resettlement agency within the next few months. before the expiration ofthe IRO. is an absolute necessity. The experience in the past of dealing with international organizations which have satellite countries in their membership has been most unsatisfactory and unproductive.
