The editorial discusses the present Communist "redefection" campaign. designed to persuade many of the persons who have escaped from behind the Iron Curtain to return to Communistdominated countries. As the editorial points out. the program has serious implications in the propaganda struggle which is being waged in the cold war. This campaign points to the urgent necessity of making the refugee relief program a vital and dramatic success. This can be done only if Congress acts during the present session on the amendments which have been proposed by those of us. including the President of the United States. who believe that the full quota of refugees and escapees authorized by the Refugee Relief Act must be brought into the United States before the expiration of the act. I ask unanimous consent that this well reasoned and convincing editorial. entitled " Redefection Racket." be printed in the body of the RECORD. as a part of my remarks.
