My own interest in this particular problem stems from the fact that I have offered a bill to extend the policy we have followed in the displaced persons program. and to take some fair share of this surplus labor of the free nations of Europe which would prove to be a tremendously useful reservoir of workers for the United States which we need at this time. As to the serious nature of this problem. which I think the House should be familiar with. because it will come up again. this is the beginning of what ought to be a real contribution to the solution of free Europes problems. In Germany it is admitted that perhaps as nettling a problem as German Federal Government. which we are anxious to put on its feet in democratic terms. has to meet is the problem of 9.000.000 Germans who were expellees from the eastern provinces and borders. many living in refugee camps without work or a place to which they can turn their talents. Naturally it is a fertile field for demogogues to try to incite some government in Germany to recapture the eastern provinces by force. That is the German picture. and it is important to give that situation an opportunity for outlet in the way which we propose to begin by this bill to give an opportunity elsewhere in the world for effective workers.
