Mr. Speaker. the Washington Post of yesterday contains a very illuminating article by Murrey Marder concerning the situation in Hong Kong. My colleagues serving with me on the Immigration Subcommittee on the Committee on the Judiciary discussed the article extensively this morning. It seems to us that all of our colleagues in the House can examine this piece profitably because out of it we will. perhaps. get some idea of how we can take advantageand by "we" I mean the free worldof the situation which demonstrates beyond any peradventure of a doubt the failure of the Communist system of government. We. of course. are in no position to absorb any significant number of these people. but it seems to me that Generalissimo Chiang Kaishek could deal an almost mortal blow to the Communist Chinese regime if he would find it possible to welcome to the China that he speaks for a significant number of the refugees. who by their flight from the Chinese mainland attest to the utter failure of the Communist rule. In that connection I am sure the American people would very gladly make available to the hungry refugees those agricultural surpluses which are so abundant in this country. It was encouraging to me to see this morning an Associated Press dispatch from Taipei stating that the Government of China is considering a massive relocation program for the Chinese refugees in Hong Kong and is apparently willing to welcome to Taiwan all those refugees who wanted to leave Hong Kong. The newspaper article referred to is as follows:
