Now. Mr. Speaker. let us seV about the refugees and that is about half this bill. About 120.000 our intelligence officials in Europe estimate. and this is shown in the Senate committee that recently reported out that bill. 40 percent of the refugees coming from behind the Iron Curtain are Communists. Now. how are you going to laugh that off? I was with a subcommittee of the Judiciary Committee in Europe on two occasions. We had occasion to go through expellee and refugee camps all over Germany. some 40 or 50. We held hearings in Munich. we held hearings in Stuttgart. and in Bavaria. and in Berlin. and in several other parts of Germany. Those people do not want to come to this country. Those German refugees want this country to whip Russia and put them back in their homes and restore their homes to them. that is what they want. many of them on farms. many who were doctors. druggists. and school teachers. They want to go back where their roots are and where they own land. cattle. and farm implements. Twothirds of the German people who testified before our committee said: "We do not want you Americans to come over here and take the cream of the crop of these people. we want them to stay here. we can absorb them.
