It is the will of the West to preserve and expand the area of freedom. combined with the will of the nations of eastcentral Europe to become free again. that offers the best guarantee of victory and of a true peace. Representative WALTERS forthright views and unflinching determination was bound to make him a target of hostile criticism from various quarters. One of the most conspicuously unjust instances of such criticism was the inference that he had opposed liberal legislation in the area of immigration. We. on the contrary. are both cognizant of Representative WALTERS past contributions to broadminded and humanitarian immigration laws. and confident that he will propose new liberal legislation which will enable the eastern European refugees from communism to enter the United States. One day the people of eastcentral Europe will be able to pay due honors to the freemen who stood by them in their years of bondage. As we wait for this day to dawn. we present to Representative WALTER. as a token of our deep gratitude for his contribution to the fight for freedom and human dignity. this scroll which reads: "To the Honorable FRANCIS E. WALTER. Representative in the Congress of the United States of America from the 15th District of Pennsylvaniafighter and humanitarianin recognition of his undaunted courage in fighting Communist encroachments upon the freedom of man and nations. of his humanitarianism and of his generosity of heartevidenced in legislative actions and international achievements on behalf of refugees from totalitarian oppression."
