Clark, Jr., city comptroller, recently elected, who recently broke the Repub- lican machine in Philadelphia. Another was Richardson Dilworth, recently elect- ed treasurer in the city of Philadelphia, both men endorsed by the Philadelphia Inquirer and the Philadelphia Bulletin, and both elected by overwhelming ma- jorities. Reinhold Neibuhr, who spoke in Wash- inzton, is one of the greatest theologians of this generation, one of the greatest teachers of our time, a man devoted to the principles of Christianity and free- dom. I conclude, Mr. President, by chal- lenging the opposition party, the Repub- lican Party, to present to the American people something but their witches’ brew and the smoke and vapor of stat- ism, regimentation, collectivism, welfare state, and socialism. A political party that coins slogans like a soap opera will soon be washed up. The people do not believe in ghost stories or fairy tales, par- ticularly when they are so dull and un- dramatic as the dog-eared catch phrases of the Republican propagandists. The Democratic Party would welcome an enlightened opposition. I worry that the Democratic Party might not have the kind of opposition it needs. It needs constructive criticism. But it does not need criticism which looks and sounds as if it were a political doctrine, from the era of the dinosaurs. We need the kind of constructive criticism which is going to point out where we ought to go in foreign policy, what better program we can have, what better we can do to con- serve our soil and preserve our natural resources, not how we can exploit them or leave them alone, but how we can improve them. Where do we go from the proposals of the Senator from Connecticut [Mr. Mc- Manon]? Do we sit idly by and let them stop here, or do we follow them up? Where do we go from the reports of Lilienthal-Acheson Commission on Atomic Energy? Why does not the Re- publican Party urge the President to ap- point a new commission to study the whole matter of weapons of mass de- struction, instead of trying to get the Navy out of moth balls to go to Formosa? This is not a matter of the Navy any longer, it is a matter of life and death to the world. The Republican Party, and its leadership cannot seem to get away from the type of inadequate pronounce- ments that have characterized that party. CONGRESSIONAL RECORD—SENATE The Democratic Party needs construc- tive criticism. My, how it needs it! It needs to have a political party, the Re- publican Party, challenging it on the is- sue of civil rights, not walking out on us. We need to have the 35 votes that were promised by the minority leader at the time of the filibuster over the rules; rather than having them take a powder when the day of battle arrives. We need to find out what better farm program we can get—one that is going to take care of the perishable commodities. It is not good enough to condemn the waste in potatoes, in eggs, and in other farm products. What are we going to do? It is not good enough for the Republican Party to say these things cost too much. It is their responsibility to point to a better direction, and to do so without the name-calling, without the innuendo, without the scare-words of political bogeymen which seem to be the quite convenient weapon of those who carry on the battle for the opposition. I now again want to thank my friend, the Senator from Indiana, for making these issues quite clear. I want to thank him for his gracious remarks about the ADA. Iwant to refer him to the analysis of the ADA World on the congressional voting record. I know that he was not motivated in his attack on the ADA by the fact that there are a number of minus signs against the names of cer- tain Members of Congress, showing that the ADA think they voted wrong on some issues. I want the Senator from Indiana to look into the three chapters of ADA located in his own State, at Terre Haute, Indianapolis, and South Bend, Ind. I want him to find out how many Socialists there are there. I want him to find out if the ADA has anything to offer for the good of that great State of the Union, Indiana. Mr. CAPEHART. Mr. President, I shall take only a few minutes of the Sen- ate’s time. It took the able junior Sena- tor from Minnesota about an hour and a half to answer the charge I made, namely, that the ADA, of which he is the chairman, and of which a number of United States Senators are members, is advocating the reelection of the Social- ist Government in England. I did not know there were so many Senators who are members of his organization. I thank him for adding, as he did to the roster, the names of Senators whom I did know bclonged to it. Mr. President, it took the Senator from Minnesota an hour and a half to deny the charge I made that the ADA is encouraging, and that they wrote in their magazine an editorial expressing the hope that the Socialist Government in Eng- land would be reelected. The Senator from Minnesota took an hour and a half to talk about everything under the sun except that point. He spoke of the Republican platform which was brought forth yesterday. Of course, the able Senator does very well when talking about that subject. He went clear around the barn, and then around and around the barn again, talk- ing about the Republican platform of yesterday. If he wants to be fair, as I am sure he does, he himself might well 1575 like to correct the statement he made re- specting the platform. I know he can read. I am sure of that. Had he read the Republican platform of yesterday, and I shall read a statement from it, he would have found that we pledged ourselves to win lasting peacc, and so on, and then said: We dedicate our efforts and issuc this state~- ment of principles and objectives supple- menting the Republican platform of 1948. Now what the able Senator from Min- nesota read is simply supplementing the platform of 1948, and I am certain he knew that, because I know he can read. I was in South Dakota not long ago in the town where the Senator from Minnesota was born, and I made inquiry, and was told he was an exceptionally bright student, exceptionally good in English, but poor in arithmetic. Now he tricd to mislead the United States Sen- ate. Iam certain he did not mislead the press, because the members of the press know that the statement issucd by the Republican Party at 6 o’clock last night said that what we issued was a supple- ment to, meaning an addition to, our 1948 platform. The Senator from Minnesota spoke a great deal about civil-rights legislation. Let me say to the able junior Scnator from Minnesota that it would not make any difference what the Democrats said in their platform respecting civil rights. They would never enact the laws. They have been in control of Congress now for 18 years, and for 18 long years they have been promising the people of America to give them “civil rights.” Not more than 2 weeks ago on the floor of the United States Senate the able Scnator from Minnesota had an opportunity to vote to bring up the FEPC bill—and where wag he? Looking out of the window. He had a chance to vote for antilynching legislation. Where was he? In the cloakroom, I guess. He voted against it— yes; I guess he voted against it. He had a chance a couple of weeks ago to vote on the anti-poll-tax legislation, and where was he? Where were all the Dem- ocrats he speaks of? So I say it does not make any dif‘er- ence what the Democrats put in their platform; they never live up to their platform promises anyway. They have had an opportunity for 18 long years now to pass civil-rights legislation, and they have not passed such legislation. I am surprised that the able junior Sena- tor from Minnesota would even mention civil-rights legislation after having voted against taking up FEPC legislation 2 weeks ago, after having voted against taking up antilynching legislation a cou- ple of weeks ago, and after having voted a couple of weeks ago against taking up anti-poll-tax legislation. Mr. President, I stated earlier today that the ADA in its official publica- tion—and it is an organization made up of many United States Senators on the Democratic side—many United States Representatives and governors was ad- vocating the election of a socialistic gov- ernment in England. Now the able ju- nior Senator from Minnesota, who is the president of the ADA, says he is proud to be advocating the election of a
1576 socialistic government in England. ‘He calls it a labor government. It is a la- bor government I presume. But the Labor government of England is hon- est. It calls itself by its right name. It admits that it is a socialistic government, I placed in the Recorp, this afternoon, an article by Mr. Oursler in which was a statement by Mr. Attlee saying exactly what the purposes of his party were. Senators heard that article read. Sena- tors heard Mr. Attlee’s statement read. Mr. Attlee said his party was going to socialize everything in England. He said, “I wrote a book in 1937. In that book I gave the blueprint of our program. We are going to socialize everything in Eng- land.” My question now is, Mr. President, Do those who support the socializing of everything in England by advocating the reelection of the Socialist government in England, likewise advocate the same form of socialism for the United States? That is the question I want them to an- swer. If socialism is good for England, why is it not good for the United States? If they are supporting it in England, why do they not support it in the United States? Why do they not tell tne Amer- ican people that they support socialism in the United States? As I said, Mr. President, the able junior Senator from Minnesota talked for an hour and a half, but he simply went round and round the barn. He would go around one way for a while, and then he would reverse himself and go around the barn the other way. He said he rose to answer my speech. Instead of that he talked about every- thing else under the sun except what I discussed. Finally, after an hour and a half he came around to saying, “I am proud of the fact that I am a member of the ADA, and if the able Senator does not know it, I will give him the names of more New Deal United States Senators who are members of ADA, and I will also give him the names of Repre- sentatives who belong to the ADA. Why, yes, we are for the reelection of the Socialist Party in England.” I presume they believe in it or they would not advocate it. I know that they are not hypocrites. They must believe in it. They must believe in socialism. They must believe in socialism for the United States. I invite attention to the fact that the able junior Senator from Minnesota says that the Communists are terrible and that the Nazis are terrible. He says not one word against the Socialists. AsIsaid in my speech, we are getting socialism in America through the back door. Let us not say, “It can’t happen here.” We have the example of Senators and Represent- atives and governors who advocate the reelection of Socialists in England. The head of the organization itself rose in his place on the floor of the Senate and said he was proud of the fact that he was a member of the ADA. He said that they were supporting the Socialist govern- ment in England and hoped that it would win the election. CONGRESSIONAL RECORD—SENATE ORDER OF BUSINESS Mr. WHERRY. Mr. President, is the junior Senator from Arizona acting for the majority leader? Mr. McFARLAND. Just before he left, the majority leader requested that the junior Senator from Arizona make a mo- tion to recess until tomorrow at 12 o'clock. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator make such motion? Mr. WHERRY. Mr. President, I am not yielding for that purpose. I am in- quiring of the acting majority leader if he has conversed with the majority lead- er as to whether or not a commitment could be made relative to legislation which would be taken up on the 9th and continuing through until the 16th of February, and whether or not any controversial bills would be taken up during that period. From the discussions I have had with the majority leader, I was led to believe that we might be able to make a satisfactory arrangement. I do not want to detain the Senate any longer. I should like to ask the acting majority leader if he thinks he could obtain such an understanding. Mr. McFARLAND. I have no author- ity to speak for the majority leader in regard to legislation. There is pending and under discussion Senate bill 75. In- asmuch as I have been in charge of this measure, and had been directed to make the report for the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs, I had hoped that we would be able to complete consideration of the bill tomorrow. I spoke for prob- ably an hour and a half yesterday. I had thought that the distinguished Sen- ator from California [Mr. Downey] would go ahead and make his presen- tation. However, yesterday there was a long speech on the other side on a dif- ferent subject, and we remained in ses- sion late. This afternoon the distin- guished senior Senator from California yielded the floor. He mentioned that there were a number of amendments to be presented. They have not been printed and ordered to lie on the table. The Senate has not been afforded the courtesy of knowing their contents. I do not know what their plans are. So far as we are concerned, we are ready and willing to vote tomorrow. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Would the Senator from Nebraska be willing to have the Senate recess now and consult the majority leader later? Mr. WHERRY. I appreciate that suggestion, Mr. President. I do not want to be at all noncooperative. I should like to help carry forward the program. Many Senators on this side of the aisle are just as eager to vote on this measure as is the distinguished Senator from Arizona. The arrangement which I was sug- gesting has been discussed in the Senate for more than 2 days, and was discussed long before this proposed legislation came up. I have been led to believe that no matter what bill was under discus- sion, commencing with the 9th day of February and continuing through to the 16th of February, no votes would be FEBRUARY 7 taken on controversial measures. If the pending bill is voted on tomorrow, there is no apprehension on my part about the request I have made. If the bill is not to be voted on tomorrow—and I am just as eager and just as willing and ready to vote on it tomorrow as is the dis- tinguished Senator from Arizona—I cer- tainly must have some advance notice of that fact in order to give assurances to Senators who expect to leave on Thurs- day, so that they may feel free to leave. I am very sorry that the majority leader is not now present, because some Senators would like to leave tonight, if they could have the assurance that no controversial measures will be taken up between the 9th and the 16th of Febru- ary. I should like to cooperate with the distinguished Senator from Arizona if he could give me that assurance. If he can- not give me that assurance, the only thing left to do is to wait until tomor- row and discuss it with the majority leader. Mr. McFARLAND. Mr. will the Senator yield? Mr. WHERRY. I yield. Mr. McFARLAND. Consideration of this bill was postponed for a week, not at our request, but at the request of its opponents. I want the distinguished minority leader to understand that this situation is not our fault. We were ready and wanted to proceed with the consideration of the bill as originally planned and so amended so that as large an attendance of Senators as pos- sible would be assured. I am anxious that Senators be present. However, I believe that 1f we are not to vote to- morrow, but are to postpone the vote, we must have a definite stipulation for the time to vote. When this program was announced the majority leader distinctly stated that he hoped that pairs could be obtained, and that we would not have to take long recesses. ‘That was the understanding stated in the Recorp. I had hoped that Senators could obtain pairs so that we would not be required to take long re- cesses. If Senators who are opposing the bill wish to postpone its consideration, I think it is up to them to propose some reasonable stipulation in regard to the time for voting, and also submit their proposed amendments. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President—— Mr. WHERRY. Mr. President, I still have the floor. I have not surrendered the floor. Mr. KNOWLAND. will the Senator yield? Mr. WHERRY. I yield. Mr. KNOWLAND. In conncction with the remarks made by the junior Senator from Arizona, let me say, in the first place, that I did not have the origi- nal discussions with the majority leader, but some time ago my colleague |LMr. Downey], who is not now present in the Chamber, was given to understand that it would probably be 40 to 60 days before this proposed legislation was brought up. When the word came that it was to be set for consideration at the time it was, that was quite different from his original understanding. It is true that he asked President, Mr. President,
1950 for a weeks’ postponement, which I think was most modest under all the circum- stances. I had hoped that this situation might come to a head sooner than it did. The fact of the matter is, however, as the able Senator knows, that this project calls for an _ authorization which amounts to $1,250,000,000. Mr.McFARLAND., Mr. President, Ido not know that. The Senator should not say that I know it, because it is not true. Mr. KNOWLAND. If the Senator does not know it, I think we shall be able clearly to demonstrate that that is what it calls for. It also tends to break down the reclamation laws of the country. It will require some time to develop the facts so that the S2znate may have the information. I think the question is of sufficient im- portance to call for as near a full attend- ance of the Senate as possible when the bill is voted upon. It is really an im- portant piece of legislation. The only point I wish to stress under the circumstances is that over a long period of years there has been a cus- tomary courtesy between Democrats and Republicans. When the Democrats held their Jackson Day and Jefferson Day dinners and meetings and were re- quired to be absent, controversial legis- lation was not taken up during that pe- riod of time. Reciprocal arrangements have been made with respect to the Lin- coln Day affairs. It so happens that this year Lincoln Day falls on Sunday. There will be ap- proximately as many gatherings this week, in advance of Sunday the 12th, as there will be following that date. I think it is only a matter of courtesy, if this measure cannot be disposed of before tomorrow afternoon, to have it go over until the full membership of the Senate can be present. Mr. WHERRY. Mr. President, I think {t is unnecessary to go further with this discussion. I wish to make clear my position, so far as concerns the negoti- ations for arrangements between the majority leader and the minority lead- er. It is simply that as long as 10 days ago I took up with the majority leader the matter of having the Senate continue in session during this part of the month of February. I do not ask that the Sen- ate take a recess for a certain number of days. So far as I am concerned, I wish the Senate to proceed with the considera- tion of proposed legislation. I know nothing about the arrangements made between the majority leader and the sponsors of the proposed legislation, and I do not wish to take any part in them; but long prior to the time when this measure was made the order of business, the minority leader was led to believe that some such arrangement could be worked out, and not by means of pairs. At the time when the suggestion about pairs was made by the majority leader, I said that personally I did not believe in pairs. Ido not believe in them, generally speaking, Mr. President; I think people want to know how Senators vote. Al- though I think it is true that sometimes live pairs are a convenience, yet I believe CONGRESSIONAL RECORD—SENATE the people of the country wish to know how Senators vote. Ever since I have been in the Senate, I have believed that the way for Senators to proceed in re- gard to various legislative proposals is to vote on them, not to pair on them. It is true that other Senators hold a con- trary view, and of course they have a right to their opinions. But with that in view, I suggested to the majority leader that perhaps he would inform the Senate of the bills and other measures on the calendar which could be taken up between the 98th and 16th of February, and I sug- gested that there would be no objection to having the Senate proceed to consider noncontroversial legislation. The ma- jority leader was very cooperative. He said to me, “Take up this matter with your steering committee and see what measures your group is willing to have the majority leader ask the Senate to take up during that period of time.” I think the Recorp should be very clear about this matter. The minority leader now suggests that the majority leader might have the Senate take up Senate bill 2440, Calendar 926; House bill 5839, Calendar 1082; Senate bill 501, Calendar 1139; House bill 5486, Calendar 1220; House bill 4406, Calendar 810; and Sen- ate Resolution 58, Calendar 596. There is plenty of material there to keep the Senate busy from the 9th to the 16th of February. But I am quite satisfied that those measures are not generally re- garded as controversial ones. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a moment at this point? Mr. WHERRY. I yield. Mr. KNOWLAND. While the Senator from Nebraska was out of the Chamber earlier in the day, the issue arose on the floor of the Senate, and the able majority leader stated a list of measures which he would propose to have the Senate take up after the pending measure is dis- posed of. It was at that point that I raised the question that my understanding had been that from the 9th to the 16th of February, controversial measures would not be taken up, and that, of course, the pending bill is highly controversial. The Senator from Illinois admitted that it is a controversial measure, and expressed the hope that it could be disposed of before tomorrow night. My colleague from California the senior Senator from California [Mr. Downey] pointed out, first, that there were a number of highly technical and controversial amendments which had not yet been acted upon, and that, in addition, he was preparing a number of other amendments of extreme impor- tance. My colleague has not completed his remarks. I intend to speak tomor- row. There are other Senators who will speak on the subject. I expressed to the majority leader the opinion that it would not be possible to reach a final vote on this measure prior to adjournment to- morrow. Mr. WHERRY. I thank my colleague the junior Senator from California, for his observations. 1577 No doubt the suggestion of the distin- guished majority leader relative to the measures appropriate for consideration during this period is in keeping with the proposals which were made. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Chair was about to suggest to the Sen- ator, a while ago, that the majority leader had made such a@ statement. Mr. WHERRY. I thank the Chair; I so understand. Mr. President, I appreciate that we are attempting to continue the Lincoln Day tradition. Regardless of whether the pending legislation is finally acted upon tomorrow or whether an arrangement can be made for a time certain for the final vote on it—and I am perfectly will- ing to have such an arrangement made-— I respectfully submit to the majority leader that we have proceeded on the assumption that from the 9th to the 16th of February there would be no votes on controversial measures. If we cannot proceed on that theory, some Members of the Senate will have to be notified and will have to change their plans, so as to be in the Senate for votes on contro- versial measures. I think the Senator from California and the Senator from Arizona will agree with other Members of the Senate that this measure is highly controversial. So I suggest to the distinguished act- {ng majority leader that he confer with the majority leader and see whether the Senate can accommodate itself to this program, namely, that from the 9th to the 16th of February, no votes will be taken on controversial measures; that the measures which have been proposed for consideration during this period— and the proposition was not made in a dictatorial fashion at all, but at the suggestion of the majority leader—can be brought up for discussion and con- sideration; and that in the case of any other proposed legislation which the ma- jority leader might wish to have taken up or might suggest to have taken up, we shall be glad to have it taken up, so long as we protect the Senators who are leaving on the 9th against the taking of votes on controversial measures be- tween the 9th and up to and including the 16th of February. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is the acting majority leader about to move that the Senate take a recess? Mr. McFARLAND. I shall do so ina moment, Mr. President. The junior Senator from Arizona wishes to accommodate Senators on the other side of the aisle in every way pos- sible. It is my desire that they have all the time they wish to have. Of course, I think it will take a great deal of time, and 10 days is a very short period for them to try to convince the people of the country that the Republican Party should be placed in power. Mr. WHERRY. Mr. President, if the Senator will yield, let me say that 10 days is not asked for; the time requested is a week. I think we can do it in a week. Mr. McFARLAND. Well, Mr. Prest- dent, a week is a very short time, indeed. Mr, WHERRY. That is correct.
1578 Mr. McFARLAND. I think the Re- publicans will need a much longer time. Me. WHHERRY. We shall take a week, if our colleagues will give it to us. fr, McFARLAND. But as the one who is in charge of the pending legis- lation, I wish to say that we have pro- ceeded in good faith with the under- standing that we would dispose of this measure this week. I am willing to work day and night in order to do so. Mr. WHERRY. So am I. Mr. McFARLAND. On the other hand, I am willing to accommodate my friends on the other side of the aisle. If the opponents of this bill—the distin- guished Senators from California—wish to enter into some kind of an agreement in regard to a time for a final vote dis- posing of this measure, I am willing to cooperate with them. Otherwise, I must say frankly that I shall have to insist upon its disposition and that it not be displaced. I am willing to do everything I can to cooperate with the distinguished mi- nority leader if he will get in touch with the absent Senators and try to work out some such arrangement, I will try to accommodate them, of course. But in fairness to my State, I cannot agree to have this measure displaced, without an agreement for a time certain to vote upon it. Does the distinguished minority leader wish to reply? Mr. WHERRY. No, Mr. President; but I should like to have the Senator yield to me for a moment. Mr. McFARLAND. Yes; I yield. Mr. WHERRY. Then, Jet me say that for 10 days I have been proceeding under the assumption, that regardless of what bills were before the Senate, no votes on controversial measures would be taken between the 9th and the 16th of Febru- ary. Now for the distinguished Senator from Arizona to say that unless an agree- ment is reached to vote on a day certain on the measure we have been discussing, he will not agree to this arrangement, places us in a very difficult situation. I hope the Senator will reflect further on the situation and will try to arrive at a program in accordance with what has been done over a period of years, so far as such arrangements for this period of time are concerned. Mr. McFARLAND. Mr. President, 1 think it is a constructive program. It is a program which, a little over a year ago the then majority leader, who is now the distinguished minority leader, followed In trying to obtain stipulations and agreements. There is no reason in the world why we cannot enter into a unani- mous consent agreement. If the Sena- tors from California will not agree then the only thing we can do in fairness to yur States is to insist that we continue the sonsideration of this measure until a vote is reached. Mr. WHERRY. Mr. President, will she Senator yield for another question? Mr. McFARLAND. I yield. Mr. WHERRY. I did not want the Senator to misunderstand, and to think t was in favor of obtaining a unanimous- tonsent agreement. I should be glad to ielp in any way Ican. But I said, in she event an ugreement could not be CONGRESSIONAL RECORD—HOUSE had tomorrow, then it seems to me the observation made by the distinguished Senator that he would insist upon the legislation being kept before the Senate and voted upon, in view of what has been the custom for the past 10 years, places us in a very difficult position. Mr. McFARLAND. Frankly, I think the amendments the senior Senator from California stated on the floor this after- noon would be offered by the Senators from California in fairness to the Senate should have been submitted to the Senate to be printed and to lie on the table, so the Senate would have an opportunity to study them. It has been said they will require considerable time, and that we have tomorrow in which to discuss them. But the sponsors of the amend- ments have not been fair enough to sub- mit them, so the Senate might know their contents. The PRESIDING OFFICER. What is the pleasure of the Senatc? RECESS Mr. McFARLAND. Mr. President, I move that the Senate stand in recess until 12 o'clock noon tomorrow. The motion was agreed to; and (at 6 o’clock and 41 minutes p m.) the Sen- ate took a recess until tomorrow, Wednes- day, February 8, 1950, at 12 o’clock meridian. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Teurspay, Fearvary 7, 1950 The House met at 11 o'clock a. m. The Chaplain, Rev. Bernard Braskamp, D. D., offered the following prayer: Infinite and eternal God, Thou art the supreme intelligence, far beyond the comprehension of our finite minds but always within reach of simple and child- like faith. We pray that our hearts may be en- Jarged with a greater faith in the reality of moral and spiritual forces and in the power of righteousness and the strength of justice. May this faith never be eclipsed by doubt or extinguished by despair as we strive to solve our difficult national and international problems, Grant that at the close of each day we may receive the benediction which Thou dost bestow upon the faithful who do justly love mercy and walk humbly with the Lord. In Christ’s name we bring our petition. Amen. The Journal of the proceedings of yes- terday was read and approved.

Mr. Speaker, I yield 30 minutes to the gcntleman from Mas- sachusetts [Mr Herter! and now yield 4 minutes to myself. Mr. Speaker, House Resolution 458 makes 1n order S. 2319, the Korean aid bill. This bill was debated at consider- able length in the Hiouse some 2 or 3 weeks ago. I believe most of the Mem- bers are familiar with it. However, there have been some changes made. The bill has been reported out by a vote of 17 for and 1 against, with 1 Member voting “present” There was no opposi- tion to the bill in the committee. The changes made are reductions in the amount authorized for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1950, the reduction being from $150,000,000 to $60,000,000 Also the advance to be made by the Recon- struction Finance Corporation was re- duced frcm $50,000,000 to $30,000,000. This resolution calls for 2 hours of gen- eral dcbate and waives points of orders. Mr. Speaker, I ask for the adoption of the resolution. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. HERIER Mr. Speaker, as the gentleman from New York says, this rule mukes in order 8. 2319. However, all of the bill S 2319 has been stricken out and a committee amendment put in its place. That committee amendment, under the rule, is open to amendment as If it were an original bill. The changes that have been made are fairly substantial. There has even been a change 1m the title. While the figures given vary from those in the previous bill, the bill actually car- ries the same amount ot aid to Korea as in the previous act. But the most im- portant change that has been made is in allowing the China Aid Act of last year to be extended until the middle of June of this year, thereby allowing a continua- tion of aid to those parts of China which are still free of Communist domination. In my opinion, Mr. Speaker, this is a very important bill which goes way be- yond the mere question of helping a friendly republic that we assisted in set- ting up. In my opinion, it is of very grave imwort to our entire standing in the Far Eust. I therefore hope that the

Mr. Speaker, I yield from the Members, including Republi- Marshall Reed, N.Y. -Wadleworth 8 minutes to the gentleman from Georgia can, during which we might otherwise Monroney Sabath Whitaker [Mr. Cox]. have had occasion to compare the $1 Murdock Sadowskt White, Idaho Mr. COX. Mr. Speaker, this proposal box chicken dinner we had last night O-xKoneki Be eee on Ind. to continue aid to Korea, turned down by with the soon to be held $100-a-plate Passman Shafer ‘Wood the House several days ago, comes back to us coated in sugar, and in a form that makes it more acceptable to me. How- ever, I hope the inclusion of Formosa for some help means more than bait for sup- port for Korea, and that it is not just sugar to make the bill more palatable. I voted for the bill to extend aid to Korea, but I did so with some feeling of misgiving, because of the policy of the State Department toward China hereto- fore pursued, I felt, that in all probability it would be money wasted. I now sup- port the pending measure with some de- gree of enthusiasm. I do so for this reason: I assume that the inclusion of Formosa for aid was done upon the rec- ommendation of the State Department, and that it represents a change of policy in the Department as regards China. If this is not so, then the Committee on Foreign Affairs handling the measure would know, and knowing, would make known that fact, as they would not want to win support for the bill on the basis of a false assumption. The record that we have made as re- gards China has not been such as to re- flect credit upon our own country. I think we ran out on an old friend, but this is an indication of a willingness on the part of the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the State Department to recognize what I take to be the over- whelming desire of this House; that is, that we do something to manifest an interest in the nearly one billion Asiatic people not already drawn behind the fron curtain. Mr. Speaker, as I see it, these people are worthy of an all-out effort on our part to assist them in their resistance to being fed into the ravenous maw of the Russian bear. Mr. RICH. Mr. Speaker, will the gen- tleman yield? Mr, COX. I yield. Mr. RICH. You say you have changed your mind because of the attitude of the State Department. What has the State Department done now that would cause you to change your mind? Mr. COX. I did not say that I had changed my attitude. I supported the Korean bill when it was here a few days past. Putting in Formosa strengthens the measure but I do not think we could afford to reject it if the Frrmosa provi- sions were eliminated. If the gentleman is seeking to elicit from me my opinion of the State Depart- ment, I say to him very frankly that my lack of confidence is complete. Mr. HERTER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Mich- igan |[Mr. HorFrMaNn]. Mr. HOFFMAN of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, this bill {s of the utmost {m- portance; it is very important that we dispose of it without further delay, I get that opinion from the fact that the Jackson Day dinner to be held by the New Fair Dealers. I hope at some future time we Republicans will be granted an opportunity to comment on that wonder- ful patriotic meeting last night, a very enthusiastic and worth-while meeting. Mr. HERTER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 10 minutes to the gentleman from Nebraska (Mr. Mituer}. Mr. MILLER of Nebraska. Mr. Speak- ev, this bill has the same purpose as the bill which we rejected a few weeks ago. They have put some sugar in the bill, included a bit for Formosa; and I notice that they have changed the title to the Far Eastern Economic Act of 1950. Then I read further and note in another sec- tion that it provides funds for the assist- ance of certain areas in China, Mr. BROWN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield? Mr. MILLER of Nebraska. I yield. Mr. BROWN of Ohio. This bill also contains, of course, under the last scc- tion the gentleman referred to, an au- thorization which I understand will give the State Department an opportunity to grant $10,500,000 worth of aid to For- mosa. It is a rather high price to pay for the few votes that may be necessary to enact this legislation. Mr. MILLER of Nebraska. At the proper time I am going to ask what the certain portions of China are. I hope some member of the committee may be able to answer that. I have every sympathy not only for Korea but also for Formosa and other areas of the world which may need our help But I think my colleagues ought to get it straight in their minds that this does not include military assistance to Korea. I read into the Recorp a few weeks ago, when we had this matter un- der discussion, a letter from the Presi- dent of the Korean Assembly. I had the opportunity of visiting with him last November. CALL OF THE HOUSE Mr. GAVIN. Mr. Speaker, I make the point of order that a quorum is not present. The SPEAKER. Evidently a quorum is not present. Mr. COLMER. Mr. Speaker, I move a call of the House. A call of the House was ordered. The Clerk called the roll, and the fol- lowing Members failed to answer to their names: [Roll No. 87] Allen, Tit. Burdick Gillette Andrews Byrne,N Y. Gilmer Arends Camp Granger Bailey Celler Gwinn Barrett, Pa. Christopher Halleck Barrett, Wyo Crawford Hand Biemiiler Dawson Hart Bland Dingell Hébert Bolton, Ohio Dolliver Heller Bosone Doughton Hobbs Brown, Ga, Furcolo James Bulwinkle Gary Johnson The SPEAKER. On this roll call 358 Members have answered to their names, a@ quorum. By unanimous consent further pro- ceedings under the call were dispensed with. ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE TO CERTAIN AREAS IN THE FAR EAST Mr. MILLER of Nebraska. As I was saying before the quorum call was made, the Chairman of the General As- sembly spoke to a group of four Mem- bers of this House who visited Korea last November. His plea was for mili- tary assistance. This bill does not con- tain military assistance. It does con- tain aid to Korea in the form of elec- tric-light plants, dams, fertilizer plants, and similar aid, putting in permanent improvements and installments in Korea. I think it should be stated that the diffi- culty with Korea began at Yalta when our beloved President had at his right hand a man by the name of Hiss, who helped draw up secret commitments which divided Korea at the thirty-eighth parallel, Russia being responsible for the northern half of Korea, and the United Nations for the southern half of Korea. This was dividing up a country without its knowledge. The committee that visited Korea was divided in its support for the bill a few weeks ago. Two of us voted against Korean aid, two voted for the Korean aid. So it is a controversial question and one that I think you should consider very, very carefully. Our State Department’s policy in the Far East has been a sickening one. I have no confidence in what the State Department proposes to do. I note, in section 2 of the bill, that the State De- partment proposes to aid certain parts of China. Have they changed their tune? How do you Democrats feel who have up to this opposed this action? You have been talking against such aid. Now they propose to throw a little sop to China. Some of you have been mak- ing speeches against it and supporting the State Department. Now they turn around and run the other way and mix you up in your signals. Another thing I would point out is that inflation is the thing in Korea that will bring them to ruin. I happened to be in Korea in 1935, and part of 1936. The yuan then was worth about 4 to the dollar. Today you can go out on the streets of Korea and get 900 yuan to the dollar. That is inflation. They are do- ing nothing about it. Korea has no na- tional debt. So I say to you that the thing that is going to bring about the downfall of Korea is not the money in this bill but their inflation. This bill provides $60,000,000 to end June 30, 1950. I understand there is another bill in the
1950 hopper to provide another $130,000,000 or $140,000,000 for Korea. I point out to you that the re- sources of this country are not unlim- ited. I would like to help Korea. I would like to help all the free nations of the world. I wish we were rich and I wish we could do it. But Joe Stalin would like to destroy this country by spending us into destruction. Is that not part of their policy? Now, we have the H-bomb, the hell bomb, being manufactured by Russia and this country. Perhaps this $60,000,- 000 had better be spent in the defenses of our own country. Our resources are limited. We can spend ourselves into destruction. I am not going to vote for any of this foreign spending. We can not afford to destroy our economic sys- tem. It is not for food for Korea. If it were for food, I would say, let us send them food. But Korea is_ exporting huge amounts of rice. They do not need food. They do need some fertilizer. I am willing to see that they get fertilizer. If this bill carried some money for mili- tary assistance, I would feel better about it. We have a military attaché in Korea, General Roberts. He said, “It is not a question of if the Communists move in but when they do move in.” And when they do move in South Korea will last about 8 or 10 days. Are we going to establish all of these fertilizer plants, electric light plants, and dams, bringing thousands of acres under cultivation, and let the Communists move in and take it over? Is that what you want? Korea wants military assist- ance; not the type of assistance she will get under this bill. Freedom is being threatened all over the world; it 1s threatened in this coun- try. But our friends all over the world ought to remember that if we spend ourselves into destruction—and ther?2 is danger of that—there will be no onc to come to our assistance. The Bureau of Labor Statistics says that we huve nearly 5,000.000 people unemployed now. I re- mind you that the Democratic admin- istration from 1932 to 1940 had an aver- age of 8,000,000 uncmployed in this coun- try, and it took a war to cure it. Look at the record. Are we going that way again? A debt of $260,000,000,000, and then proposing $60,000,000 for Korea. I would like to do that; I wish we could; I have every sympathy for the Koreans. But let me say to you, Mr. Speaker, that this might be the straw that will break the camel’s back as far as the economy of this country is concerned. I expect to vote against the bill. Mr. HERTER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 10 minutes to the gentleman from Cali- fornia |Mr. Jackson]. Mr. JACKSON of California. Mr. Speaker, the measure under considera- tion in the House today is something quite unlike the measure which was con- sidered by this body some days ago. It has been changed in several respects, not the least of which was a change in the title of the bill which is now called the “Far Eastern Economic Assistance Act of 1950.” Mr. MILLER of Nebraska. er, will the gentleman yield? Mr. Speak- CONGRESSIONAL RECORD—HOUSE Mr. JACKSON of California. I yield briefly. Mr. MILLER of Nebraska, It does provide $60,000,000 aid for Korea, the same as the other bill, Mr. JACKSON of California. gentleman is quite correct. I believe the greatest difference in the measure under consideration here today, as has been pointed out by several Mem- bers, is the fact that the bill currently under consideration adds a new section which provides for continuation of eco- nomic aid to those areas of China which are not now under Communist domina- tion. In practical terms, that means, of course, Formosa and Hainan. It is esti- mated that with respect to section 2 a sum up to $10,000,000 may be expended in Formosa between now and the 30th of June 1950. Mr. KEATING. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield? Mr. JACKSON of California. I am very happy to yield to the gentleman from New York. Mr. KEATING. On page 4 of the re- port, if I read it correctly, it indicates that there are $45,000,000 remaining as an unobhgated balance. Does the gen- tleman mean that $10,000,000 of that amount is likely to be spent? Mr. JACKSON of California. That is my understanding. My further under- standing 1s that there are no definite and well-defined plans for the program at the present time. This new proposal comes so suddenly in some respects that it has not been found possible to shape up a firm and comprehensive program for that area. Mr. JUDD Mr. Speaker, will the gen- tleman yield? Mr. JACKSON of California. I yield. Mr. JUDD. Is it not true that there is a rather firm program for about $5,500,000 or $6,000,000" Mr. JACKSON of California. I think the gentieman 1s correct. Roughly half of the likely expenditure is in a state of advance planning at the present time. As I recall the estimates given the com- mittee, the sum involved is in the magni- tude of $5,000,000. Mr. JUDD. That is right; that much would be spent almost certainly. Whether any additional amount could be well spent is still to be determined. Mr. JACKSON of California. The gentleman is correct. In actual fact, the Korean hook has been baited with a very succulent and attractive lure. In adding aid to For- mosa and aid to Chiang Kai-shek and those elements of the National govern- ment on Formosa and Hainan, the ad- ministration has made a very astute move. There will undoubtedly be an ef- fort made to remove section 2 from the bill but that, of course, will be a hurdle which will have to be met at the time it is proposed. Certainly, this measure creates a new situation in which it is not easy to make a decision. In my case I have opposed, and upon grounds which I considered to be very sound, any eco- nomic assistance at this time to Korea. Those considerations which resulted in the defeat of the aid to Korea measure a week or so ago are still, in my opin- The 1593 ion, entirely valid as far as the Korean aid feature of the measure under con- sideration is concerned, Those consid- erations had to do with the vast dis- tances involved, had to do with the na- ture of the aid unsupported as it is by any military program which would ren- der it possible to defend the frontiers of South Korea against aggression from the north; considerations as to the in- ternal conflict that is taking place in the Republic of South Korea; considerations of the external force and the external pressures which are constantly being brought to bear against that Republic. AS I say, to my mind and in my hum- ble opinion, those arguments were valid some days ago. They are still valid to- day. However new considerations brought into focus in section 2 must enter into the consideration of the new bill by the Members of the House. I cannot acknowledge that the admin- istration is in any way sincere in its inclusion of aid to Formosa and Hainan in the present bill. Certainly there has been nothing in recent months which would indicate that the administration has taken any substantially different view of the chaotic situation in the Far East than that originally advocated and espoused by Algcr Hiss and his asso- ciates. Nor has it taken any concrete steps which might eventually lead to the formulation of a foreign policy for that portion of the world. Mr. KEATING. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield? Mr. JACKSON of California. I yield to the gentleman from New York. Mr. KEATING. In section 2 there is nothing, as I read it, which would insure that the administration will do any- thing, even if we adopt this measure; am I correct? Mr. JACKSON of California. I be- lieve the gecntleman’s premise is correct. There is a partially firmed-up program which is permissive and which might or might not be effectively implemented. This is in effect a major foreign policy decision and one which in all frankness and in all honesty places the question of aid to Korea upon an entirely different basis than we found in the last measure. In common with many millions of American citizens I feel a deep and personal feeling of shame with respect to the conduct of American foreign policy in the Far East. The Secretary of State may choose not to turn his back upon Alger Hiss as revolving with his head in the sands of unreality he waits for the dust to settle over Asia. Our preoccupa- tion is rather with the practical question as to whether this Congress will turn its back upon a half billion people in the Far East if it fails to pass this measure. This is a confusing problem we have here, and one which must be answered by each Member out of the depths of his own conscience. If I felt that aid to Korea coupled with assistance to non- Communist China represented a step toward a sound and sane policy in the Far East, I would not hesitate to vote for the program, But enthusiastic imple- mentation of the Korean program cou- pled with a reluctant, hesitant, or unwill- ing program for non-Communist China
1594 can do nothing but further aggravate the world situation. Mr. HOFFMAN of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield? Mr. JACKSON of California. I yield to the gentleman from Michigan. Mr. HOFFMAN of Michigan. There are two questions I should like to ask. First, I understood the gentleman to say that the administration or someone had put a bait in this bill. a very attractive bait as I gathered from the gentleman’s statement: is that right? Mr. JACKSON of California. That is correct. Mr. HOFFMAN of Michigan. I also understood the gentleman to say that was carried in section 2, perhaps, but that he thought that section 2 would be stricken; is that right? Mr. JACKSON of California. No, I do not believe that. I said that I thought probably an effort would be made to strnke section 2. I believe that effort will fail. Mr. HOFFMAN of Michigan. The gentleman means they are going to try to do that? Mr. JACKSON of California. have been informed. Mr. HOFFMAN of Michigan. Take the bait away while you are on the hook? Mr. JACKSON of California. be viewed in that light. Mr. HOFFMAN of Michigan. For one, I do not want to get on that hook. Mr. JACKSON of California. Each Member is going to have to tailor his actions to fit his own conscience in this matter. That is not something that is entirely black or entirely white. It is a field in which there is a great gray area of doubt. If I vote for the measure now under consideration it will not represent an expression on my part of any confi- dence whatever in the Department of State or in its ability to properly admin- {ster any program in the Far East. Any department which cannot tell a cloud of dust from the shadow of disaster cer- tainly cannot rate very highly in the opinion of the American people today. Mr. HERTER. Myr. Speaker, I yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from New York [Mr. Covverr]. Mr. COUDERT. Mr. Speaker, I was one of those who was paired in the nega- tive on this measure when it was last before the House. I am not at all sure as yet how I shall vote on it when we ect to a roll call. Certainly, from my standpoint, the addition of Formosa is by no means a profitable addition, and if the Formosa provision, the bait on the hook, should be removed by amendment, my inclination to vote for the bill would be substantially strengthened. My only reason for inclining to alter my position is because of a realization that came to me after the last appear- ance of the bill, before the House, that representatives of the United States had, in fact, while perhaps making no com- mitments, given ground to the Korean Government for reasonable expectation that it was going to get the full amount of $120,000,000 for fiscal 1950. In fact, it already has got $60,000,000 or one-half. So, I am inclined to refrain from cutting the Koreans off in the middle of a So I It could CONGRESSIONAL RECORD—HOUSE program of economic rehabilitation for the current year for which they were led to believe they would receive the sum of $120,000,000. Further aid for an ad- ditional period is not here involved. But, that is not the reason for my taking this time. I am taking this op- portunity to take the floor, because I do not know whether I shall get time on the bill itself or not, to raise what seems to me a very much more fundamental point, a point that everyone of us in this House should take very closely to heart. The most important problem that con- fronts the United States today is the problem of foreign policy, the problem of the physical security of the United States. It is a problem of national life or death. All that we have seen in the last 5 years in the matter of foreign policy has been unremitting and unin- terrupted failure, abysmal and tragic failure. The keystone of our foreign policy has been the containment doc- trine. That has utterly and completely failed. I do not have to review what has happened in the Far East. Everyone knows that. We have not even any as- surance that our western European posi- tion is secure. There is good reason to doubt that if Russia were to attempt to move into western Europe now or in the foreseeable future there would be any ef- fective resistance. So, Mr. Speaker, I say that we here are confronted with the simple question, what are the limited objectives at which American security can be achieved? What are the lines within which we can sufficiently concentrate our existing re- sources to successfully resist attack? Our policy of universal containment goes on today, it is perfectly obvious that war with Russia is inevitable. Our whole policy is geared to ultimate war with Russia. Yet we are expending our re- sources all over the world without ap- parent rhyme or reason, without any apparent coordination, and certainly with no assurance that proper concen- tration of available effort and energy and armament will be available when the time of trial comes. And our domestic policies are framed almost without thought of the realities of war. Certain- ly the President has not suggested that real preparation should necessitate some measure of domestic limitation upon the fuller life. Now, it does not answer this question to call people names like isolationist or internationalist. Those epithets merely excite emotion, and emotion means con- fusion, and confusion makes clear think- ing impossible. We must think this one through. We must make up our minds whether we are going to stick to the containment policy, which means war, whether we are prepared to make the sacrifices at home to turn this country into an armed camp in order to be really prepared for war within a reasonably near future, or whether we are going to determine at what point and within what limits we can so concentrate our avail- able military resources so that perhaps within this great Western Hemisphere, with some bases outside, we may be in a position to exercise reasonably defen- sive measures so as to secure the physical integrity of the United States. In short, FEBRUARY 7 are we to continue a policy of unlimited objectives with limited resources, or are we to formulate a policy of limited ob- jectives, within the limits of our means? The SPEAKER. The time of the gen- tleman from New York has expired. Mr. DELANEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 10 minutes to the gentleman from Massachusetts [Mr. McCormack]. Mr. McCORMACK. Mr. Speaker, the bill that will soon come before the Com- mittee of the Whole and later the House is substantially a different bill than that which was acted upon by the House a few weeks ago. We all know what the vote was then. We are aware of the results that have followed that vote. On that occasion I made remarks which 7 shall not repeat now but which showed my conviction that the bill then should have been passed by the House. The remarks I made on that occasion are just as applicable to the bill before the House today. This bill also provides for a continu- ance of economic relief to Formosa. I think it is only fair to say that all of us are more or less disturbed at the world situation, and justifiably so. I recognize there can be an honest differ- ence of opinion. I want any of my col- leagues who differ with me to know that I not only thoroughly but deeply respect their views in disagreement, and I know they will have the same feeling of re- spect for the views I entertain. My good friend from New York |Mr. CovupErt] in his temperate remarks— and I construe them as very temperate— stated that “our whole policy is geared to war with Russia.” My friend made that observation extemporaneously, but I am sure that upon refiection he would want to clarify it. Therefore, any re- marks I make in relation to that observa- tion are not to be construed as & criticism. When a man reads from a manuscript I place one interpretation upon his re- marks, because he has reduced his thoughts to writing, but when one speaks extemporaneously I place a different in- terpretation at times on his remarks. I recognize that in talking extempo- raneously myself I might make a short observation which would not completely portray or convey my ful] state of mind. If we are in disagreement, I respect his views, but my view is that our whole policy is not geared to war with Russia. Our policy, as well as the policy of other nations that want to be free and have their people select their own form of government, is largely made up as the result of the aggressive policies of Russia, the Soviet Union. The United States and any other nation must take that fact into consideration. To the extent that my friend meant that by way of reaction to the aggressive policy of the Soviet Union we have to give consideration to the aggressiveness of the Soviet Union, I think I would agree with him, and probably that is what he meant. Mr. COUDERT. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield? Mr. McCORMACK. I yield to the gen- tleman from New York. Mr. COUDERT. I gather that the dis- tinguished gentleman is apparently not
1950 in accord with the remark I made that under the present American foreign policy war with Russia is inevitable. Is that the point? I was out of the Cham- ber for a moment when the gentleman’s opening remarks were made. Mr. McCORMACK. I am discussing the observation which the gentleman mace extemporaneously when he said that “our whole policy is geared toward war with Russia.” Mr. COUDFRT. May I comment on that? Mr. McCORMACK. I would be very glad for the gentleman to do that. If the gentleman had been here he would have heard me say that I was not in any way making any criticism of the state- ment made by the gcntleman from New York. Mr COUDERT. I understand. It is merely a matter of a difference of opin- ion. But, Mr. Speaker, if there be any doubt of what I have in mind, I should certainly like to set such doubts at rest, as exist in the mind of my distinguished friend from Massachusetts. I mean simply this: That the policy to which we stand committed today of resistance to Russia’s advance everywhere, either by mulitary force or internal operation, can in my humble judgment only lead to war with Russia unless Russia quits first. Mr. McCORMACK. Yes; that is dif- ferent. I felt that is what the gentle- man meant. Mr COUDERT. I was contemplating, Mr. Speaker, the utter failure of that policy to date, through which we have lost throughout the Far East. Mr. McCORMACK. May I remind the gentleman that I yielded to him to clar- ify the observation which he made, which he has done. Mr. COUDERT. Will the gentleman yield further for a question? Mr. McCORMACK. I yield. Mr. COUDERT. If the containment policy continues to result in failure so that the western-held line continues pro- gressively to move backward, is there not some point at which the United States will be compelled to fight to maintain that policy or do we yield all the way down the line and surrender? Is there any other alternative but war? Mr. McCORMACK. The gentleman has explained to my satisfaction the re- mark which he made which, taken by itself, is capable of another construction. My view is that I cannot see how we can enter into an understanding rela- tionship, never mind a compatible rela- tionship, with the Soviet Union as long as the Soviet Union persists in its at- tempt through any means, revolution, 1f necessary, to undermine the peoples of free nations or any nation for the pur- pose of overthrowing their government and imposing a Communst state upon those people and later making that gov- ernment a satellite of the Soviet Union, and ultimately when they have consoli- dated sufficiently to even eliminate the satellite status, make them a province of the Soviet Union. As I see the world situation there 1s a challenge of our way of life on the part of communism, and not of govern- CONGRESSIONAL RECORD—HOUSE ments. Communism is a civilization. Its origin isin hate. It is anti-God and antinatural law. Seeing the mind of a Communist who starts out with the origin of hating God—how can his next thought or step be to love man? The next step is to hate man. I can under- stand the mind of a Communist, having that origin, who believes that the grave 1s the end and that there is no account- ability to any Supreme Being for the way in which he performs his trust. The end justifies the means—that is the next logi- cal thought—and if he is in a position of power he is going to use it and squelch and destroy anyone who interferes with him. I can understand that developing into the modern totalitarian state repre- sented now by the Soviet Union, and in recent years by Nazi Germany. They were both essentially the same. The form was different, but the substance of both governments was the same. I can understand then that the destruction of the dignity of the individual is inevitable and is bound to result. We are on the other side, and we believe in God. We have diffcrent ways of believing in God; but Catholic, Protestant, or Jew, we be- lieve in God. The next thing 1s, we do not hate our fellowmen. We love them, The brotherhood of man. That is our way of life. This is no sermon. Either we beheve or we do not. Believ- ing as we do, it affects our entire life, in our journey throuzh life. The next step is the dignity of man; respect for ourselves; some place where we have a little freedom, at least; some place where we obtain some of the bene- fits of our efforts. The next step is that government is the servant of the people, not the master. So there are the two charts. They are ways of life. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman from Massachu- setts [Mr. McCormack] has expired. Mr. DELANEY. Mr. Speaker, I yicld the gentleman four additional minutes. Mr. McCORMACK. Now we come to Korea. Let us get back to this and fit it into the picture. We helped establish the Republic of Korea. The Republic of Korea may not be a perfect govern- ment such as we would like it to be, but what other government is perfect? Our Government is not perfect, yet there is no better representative of decent gov- ernment that exists in the world of to- day. ‘There is none better. ‘There is none better than our form of government. We have many things to do even in our own Government to bring about justice to our people, but it is a great Govern- ment, and none of us would want to be a citizen of any other government. Cer- tainly none of us would want to be a citizen of the Soviet Union or of any of its unfortunate satellites. Poland is 95 percent against the Soviet Union. Czechoslovakia is 90 or 95 per- cent against it. But what can the peo- ple do? They are controlled by a Com- munist regime that has control of the police and the internal military estab- lishment, backed up by a powerful na- tion, the Soviet Union. In order to live what can those unfortunate people do? When the opportunity presents itself 1595 there is no doubt in my mind but that they will oust the Communist gang that have temporarily got control of their government. We established the Korean Republic. It is capable of maintaining internal order. It is capable of resisting any ag- gression from northern Korea. Of course, if Russia should move in, that is a different proposition. Let us be prac- tical. If Russia does that, she is serving notice to the world that she is on the march. There is no question about that. Having Korea as it is, a free people, an independent nation where it is, is a mat- ter of national interest to the United States, as I view the world picture. I do not want to see the day come, if I can prevent it, when all of the world outside of the United States, Canada, or South America becomes dominated by Commu- nist governments, because that situation would not be in the interest of our own Government. The national interest of our own Gov- ernment comes first. Of course, I do not hike to appropriate money as we are do- ing. I can see what is running through some of my colleague’s mind on that question. I do not like to do it. But then I say to myself, “What will happen if we do not do it?” What will happen? Where do you think the still free gov- ernments of Europe are going to turn if we failthem? What effect will that have upon the United States of America? As I view the question, it is first, Why should we appropriate money? That is one thing. But then I say to myself, if we fail to do it, what is likely, in all prob- ability, to happen, and what effect will that have upon the national interest of the United States of America? That is the thought that is running through my mind. I know my colleagues in disagreement have just as much love of America as I have, and just as much patriotism, but, as I see the world picture, we have got to do something to help these people. Of course, it has to be within our capacity. I understand that. But we have got to do something; otherwise the natural and probable consequence of our failure to do so will be harmful to the national inter- est of our own country. There is one respect that a Communist or the Communist Government has, and that is respect based on fear. It is un- fortunate; I regret it, but I have got to face it. I wish our Army, I wish our Navy, I wish our Air Corps were stronger than they now are, powerful though they be; I should lke to see them more powerful because with all we are doing to try and rehabilitate other countries and to have friends in the future world—and our country needs friends just the samc as an individual needs friends. I repeat, I would like to see a powerful force not for imperialistic reasons, because we do not stand for imperialism, but for the pro- tection of ourselves. It is the one thing, in my opinion, that will restrain the So- viet Union from attacking and from ag- gression—fear in their hearts predicated upon the power of America and other free nations to defend themselves in case of attack and to defeat any attackers. So I hope, Mr. Speaker, that the House in
