Mr. Speaker. in 1946 I did a tour of duty in Denmark. and often visited the many refugee camps there. which included Estonians. Latvians. Lithuanians. and Poles. I became very well acquainted with them through an English speaking Red Cross director. and with him. frequently visited a small hospital for Polish amputees. Their favorite treat was American cigarettes and since I did not smoke my accumulated rations. they were adequate for all the patients. I have never seen such grateful people. Nearby was an old castle which housed their families. They too. were grateful for the little treats I could give them. viz: candy. peanuts. cookies. and cakes.
