We have signed many agreements and treaties with the Soviets calling for "free elections." But we learned. too late. that in Communist language "free elections" mean rigged elections. Likewise with "democratic" governments. which turned out to mean Communist governments. and "independent" states. by which the Soviets meant satellite states. What is the Soviet definition of "voluntary repatriation"? Experience should have taught us that it is forced repatriation. The United States and other Western allies engaged at the close of the war with the Soviets in forced deportation. forced expulsion. and forced repatriation of people. It was a shameful practice then. It would be even more shameful now to be hoodwinked into loosely written treaty articles which would raise any doubts about our opposition to such practices.
