It is the kind of straightforward talk that should be used among Englishspeaking people. So I submit that under the resolution of the Senator from Connecticut. those of us who are associated with him in the submission of the amendment and he. himself. propose to "put up". we propose to provide this additional assistance and we propose to provide cooperation. So in reply to the British officials who made the statement about my allegation that they were forcing the refugees to engage in suicidal attempts. by pushing them back into Red China. I submit to Colonial Secretary Reginald Maudling. whom I have never had an opportunity to meet. and to anyone else who joined in directing the statement to me. that we have now "put up". and now it is up to the British to cooperate. or else to stand condemned before world opinion for a shocking disregard of the equities and the humanities involved. We are willing to "put up." We ask the British to cooperate and to keep open the door to freedom. and not to condemn these refugees to certain death. If the British will do that. I am sure that they and the Americans. working together. can accomplish a great deal in aiding these unfortunate escapees. who are running away from godless communism and are seeking freedom. I hope that in the meantime the British officials will not countenance the return by force of a single refugee to the certain death awaiting such refugees if they are compelled to leave Hong Kong and return to the dungeon of Red China.
