10512 confirmation. The record is perfectly clear that I asked for such a hearing. It is true, as the Senator has pointed out, that my resolution was submitted after the nominations were reported to the Senate, but it was only a few minutes after. As I explained to the Senator from South Carolina and certain other members of the committee, I did not re- ceive until that day certain serious alle- gations in regard to policies of the Ex- port-Import Bank and methods of con- ducting the affairs of that bank, which caused me to ask for a hearing. So I simply repeat the statement al- ready made, and move to the next point. Under the circumstances of the case, Mr. President, there is no parliamentary pro- cedure in the Senate that would estop the committee from then and there say- ing to the junior Senator from Oregon, “The committee will hear you in execu- tive session in advance of asking for a vote on the confirmation of the nomi- nations.” The reporting of the nomina- tions to the Senate in no way established any parliamentary right or created any parliamentary barrier which prevented the committee from hearing me within the next few days thereafter, in execu- tive session, in regard to these nomina- tions. That is the procedural point I made. I simply say that, in my opinion, the committee, unconsciously, uninten- tionally, and inadvertently, is guilty of an act of discourtesy to the Senator from Oregon, because under the circumstances I think any Senator, as a matter of par- Hamentary or senatorial courtesy, should have been heard in accordance with such a reasonable request as I made. Mr, MAYBANK. Mr. President, will the Senator yield? Mr, MORSE. I yield. Mr. MAYBANK. I want to say as chairman of the committee, and I think I speak for all the members of it, that if we were in any way discourteous to the Senator from Oregon, we apologize. We certainly did not mean to be discourteous to him. Mr. MORSE. Mr. President, that ts why I said that I know such a course of action would not have been followed intentionally by the committee. I may be completely in error and unjustified in feeling, as I do, Mr. President, that I was done an injustice, so far as ordinary pro~ cedural rights, which ought to be granted any Member of the Senate, are con- cerned. But I think the committee made a mistake in not taking up this matter in executive session in advance of the motion which is now before the Senate to proceed tonight to confirm the nomi- nations. It is a matter that could have been discussed and cleared up within a few hours. Mr. MAYBANK. Mr. President, will the Senator yield? Mr, MORSE. Yes. Mr. MAYBANK, I wish to assure the Senator from Oregon that the last thing the members of the Committee on Bank- ing and Currency would do would be to show any discourtesy to Senators. We always welcome Senators to appear be~ fore the committee. I assure the dis- tinguished Senator from Oregon who knows my feelings and affection for him, CONGRESSIONAL RECORD—SENATE that we would never be discourteous to Mr. MORSE. I thank the Senator for his kind remarks. Myr. President, the second point I wish to make is that even though the motion places me in such a position that I must make a de~ cision either to proceed with the dis- cussion on the floor of the Senate of certain matters which I would prefer to discuss in executive session of the com- mittee—— Mr. MAYBANK. Mr. President, will the Senator yield? Mr. MORSE. Yes. Mr. MAYBANK. I assure the Sena- tor that if he desires to discuss the mat~ ters on the floor of the Senate I shall listen to him as long as he desires to dis- cuss them, and I further assure him that, as chairman of the Committee on Bank- ing and Currency, I shall invite the di- rectors of the bank, should their nomi- nations be confirmed, to an executive meeting of the committee where the Senator from Oregon may discuss these matters, and I shall be there with him on any date he may suggest for that purpose. Mr. MORSE. I understand the posi- tion of the Senator from South Carolina, and I appreciate it, although I disagree with the wisdom of the procedure he outlines. I think this discussion should be held in advance of confirmation, in order to determine whether the informa- tion brought out in such a committee hearing with the members of the bank may not have a very definite relationship to the question of whether or not the nominations should be confirmed. To finish what I was in the process of saying as to my second major point, the motion for confirmation tonight places the Senator from Oregon in the position where he must make a choice of whether he should discuss at this time on the floor of the Senate certain matters affecting the policies of the Ex- port-Import Bank, and certain loans which have been granted and certain loans which have been denied by the Ex- port-Import Bank, or to withhold that information and discussion at this time, awaiting an executive hearing before the committee, which could be described as @ hearing after the fact. At least that kind of discussion might cause some change in the policies of the Export-Im- port Bank after the nominations of these men have been confirmed. What the Senator from Oregon in- tends to do, Mr. President, is to raise cer- tain questions tonight and refrain from @ public discussion at this time of cer- tain information which he will raise in the committee. First, the Senator from Oregon will make a motion that these nominations be recommitted to the Committee on Banking and Currency pending a hear- ing called by the Senator from South Carolina, The Senator from Oregon will keep himself available to attend the hearing whenever the Senator from South Carolina calls it. In my judg- ment, and in fairness to everyone con- cerned, I consider it to be in the public interest that the motion I make be adopted by the Senate. Therefore, Mr, President, I move that these nomina- JULY 18 tions be recommitted to the Committee on Banking and Currency pending a hearing, to be called by the committee for the purpose of hearing the Senator from Oregon and anyone else who may wish to appear on these nominations, I so move, Mr. President. Mr. MAYBANK. I disagree with my good friend from Oregon, because on June 16 we had a hearing, and no one appeared in opposition to the nominees, I took the trouble to write to every Sen-~ ator from the States from which the nominees came. I do not think it is fair to the nominees to have their names recommitted. I merely wish to make that statement. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the Senator from Oregon submitting a motion to recommit the nominations en bloc? There is only one name before the Senate at this time. Mr. MORSE. I want to send them all back, Mr. President. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to a motion to recommit the nominations en bloc? Mr. MAYBANK. Mr. President, I object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is on the motion of the Senator from Oregon. Mr. MORSE. A parliamentary in- quiry, Mr. President. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator will state it. Mr. MAYBANK. I suggest the ab- sence of a quorum. Mr. MORSE. I do not yield for that purpose. Mr. MAYBANK. I withdraw the sug- gestion of the absence of a quorum. Mr. MORSE. A parliamentary in- quiry. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is on recommitting the nomina- tions en bloc. Mr. MORSE. The parliamentary question which the Senator from Ore- gon wished to ask is whether the nomi- nations can be recommitted en bloc without a unanimous-consent agree- ment, or must he move separately that each nomination be recommitted as the name is called on the calendar. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Oregon would have the right to move to recommit the first one, because that is the one which is pending before the Senate. ti Mr. MORSE. In view of the objec- on—— The PRESIDING OFFICER. It would require unanimous consent to recommit them en bloc. Mr. MORSE. In view of the objection to the recommital of the first nomina- tion until such time as we can have a hearing of the kind which the Senator from Oregon has discussed, I shall make the same motion in respect to each one of the nominations as they are brought up. Mr, MAYBANK. I have no objection if the Senator from Oregon wishes to ask unanimous consent to recommit them all. I think that would be fair. If one is to be recommitted, all should be. I do not object to his asking unanimous consent to recommit them en bloc, al-
1950 though I shall object to recommiting any of them. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is on the motion to recommit the nominations en bloc. Mr. MORSE, Mr. President, I sug- gest the absence of a quorum. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll. The roll was called, and the following Senators answered to their names: Aiken Hill Millikin Anderson Hoey Morse Brewster Holland Mundt Bricker Humphrey Pepper Butter Ives Robertson Chapman Jenner Russell Chavez Johnson, Tex. Saltonstall Connally Kem Schoeppel Darby Kerr Smith, Maine Donnell Kilgore Smith, N. J. Douglas Langer Stennis Dworshak Lehman Taft Ecton Lodge Thye Ellender Lucas Tydings Ferguson McCarthy Watkins Frear McClellan Wherry Graham McFarland Wiley Hayden Magnuson Williams Hendrickson Martin Young Hickenlooper Maybank The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Frear in the chair). A quorum is pres- ent. The question is on the motion of the Senator from Oregon [Mr. Morse] to re- commit the nominations to the Com- mittee on Banking and Currency. Mr. MORSE. I ask for the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. Mr. SCHOEPPEL. Mr. President, & parliamentary inquiry. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator will state it. Mr. SCHOEPPEL. Will a “yea” vote be a vote in favor of the motion? The PRESIDING OFFICER. A vote of “yea” will be a vote in favor of the motion to recommit. On this question the yeas and nays have been ordered, and the clerk will call the roll. The Chief Clerk called the roll. Mr. LUCAS. I announce that the Senator from Connecticut [Mr. Benton], the Senator from Virginia [Mr. Byrn], the Senator from Texas [Mr. ConnaLty], the Senator from Mississippi {Mr. East- LAND], the Senator from Arkansas [Mr. Fuisricut}], the Senator from Georgia {Mr. Georce], the Senator from Iowa (Mr. Griuuetre], the Senators from Rhode Island (Mr. GREEN and Mr. Leany], the Senators from Wyoming (Mr. Honr and Mr. O’Manoney], the Senator from Colorado (Mr. JoHNsoN], the Senator from Nevada [Mr. McCar- raw], the Senator from Tennessee (Mr. McKexrar), the Senator from Montana {Mr. Murray], the Senator from Penn- sylvania [Mr. Myers], the Senator from West Virginia [Mr. Nexty], the Senator from Maryland [Mr. O’Conor], the Sen- ator from Oklahoma {Mr. Txomas], and the Senator from Utah [Mr. THomas]} are necessarily absent.

The Senator from Connecticut [Mr. McManon] is absent on public business, and if present would vote “nay.” The Senator from Alabama [Mr. SparKMAN] is absent by leave of the Sen- ate on official business, Mr. SALTONSTALL. I announce that the Senator from Washington [Mr. Cain], the Senator from New Hamp- shire [Mr. Tosey], and the Senator from Michigan (Mr. VANDENBERG] are absent by leave of the Senate.

The question now before the Senate is, Will the Senate advise and consent to the nomination of Hawthorne Arey, of Ne- braska, to be a member of the Board of Directors of the Export-Import Bank? Mr, MORSE. Mr. President-—— Mr. LUCAS. Mr. President, I should like to ask the Senator how long he thinks he will take? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from Oregon yield for the pur- pose of permitting such a question? Mr. MORSE. I am glad to answer that question. It will take.me a mini- mum of 6 hours. 10513 The PRESIDING OFFICER. The an- ewer is 5 hours. Mr, LUCAS. Mr. President, I heard both the Senator from Oregon and the Presiding Officer. [Laughter.] I should like to ask the able Senator from Oregon another question. It is my understanding that he is desirous of ap- pearing before the Banking and Cur- rency Committee in executive session to discuss these nominations with the vari- ous members of the committee. Am I correct as to that? Mr. MORSE. That is correct. That has been my position since June 27, and was so announced from the floor of the Senate on June 27. Mr. LUCAS. I should like to ask a further question of the Senator. If he should be given a hearing before the committee, will it take him 5 hours on each one of the nominations after he gets the hearing? Mr. MORSE. I should be willing to submit to the committee at a round- table conference certain exhibits which the members of the committee could scan with me. That would take less than § hours. Of course I shall have to read those exhibits if I proceed with this matter tonight. Mr. LUCAS. I simply desire to save time, if it is possible to do so. I am willing to help the Senator from Oregon, and I have conferred with the chairman of the Banking and Currency Commit- tee. He is willing to listen to the Sena- tor from Oregon tomorrow afternoon in executive session of the committee, provided some time can be saved. But if the chairman calls the members of the committee together tomorrow after- noon, and the Senator from Oregon pro- poses to take 5 hours upon each one of the nominations, there is not much point in having the executive session of the committee, Mr. MORSE. My 5-hour discussion on the floor of the Senate will be in re- gard to all of them at the same time. I may have seemed facetious in my state- ment to the Senator from Illinois when I said it would take me 5 hours to discuss this matter in a Senate speech, but let me say most seriously to him that I ap- preciate the courtesy of his attempt to reach an understanding on this matter. I think it only fair to say to the Senate that before or while the roll call was in process, on my motion, I had a dis- cussion with the Senator from Illinois and the Senator from South Carolina, and it is my understanding—and if I am mistaken, they can correct me— that they are agreeable to a suggestion we made jointly in that conversation. As I recall the suggestion it was that the Senator from South Carolina call his committee together tomorrow for the purpose of discussing this matter with the Senator from Oregon, and that these nominations remain on the calendar and not be recommitted. I mean it most sincerely when I say there are two things the Senate ought to do in this matter: In the first place, the record is perfectly clear that the junior Senator from Oregon asked for a conference with the committee on June 27, I think any Senator who asks for,
10514 that kind of conference, as a matter of parliamentary courtesy, should have it extended to him. In the second place, I desire to discuss certain phases of this matter in executive session because, in fairness to all concerned, that is where any problems connected with this mat- ter which can be cleared up ought to be cleared up. Mr. CHAVEZ. Mr. President, a par- liamentary inquiry. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator will state it. Mr, CHAVEZ. Would it be in order for the Senator from New Mexico to make a unanimous-consent request at this particular time? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Aunan- 4mous-consent request js in order. Mr. CHAVEZ. I desire to present a unanimous-consent request. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from Oregon yield to the Senator from New Mexico for that pur- pose? Mr. MORSE. I yield for that purpose, with the understanding that my rights are in no way jeopardized thereby, Mr. CHAVEZ. That is correct. In- asmuch as the committee has reported the nominations to the Senate, and since it is the desire of the Senator from Ore- gon to discuss them for 5 hours, I ask unanimous consent that at 18 minutes to 12 o’clock tonight the Senate vote on the nominations, and that the Senator be allowed his 5 hours. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Mr. WHERRY. Reserving the right to object, I should like to say that I am one who has been very diligent in at- tempting to clear these nominations through the Senate. I was under the impression that the reason they were held on the calendar was that a certain resolution had not received attention by the committee. I want the Recorp to show that it is perfectly agreeable to the junior Senator from Nebraska that the suggestion made by the majority leader prior to the pending unanimous-consent request is agreeable to the junior Sena- tor from Nebraska, namely, that the junior Senator from Oregon be permitted in executive session of the committee to question the nominees or to question any other witness he cares to question. I think that is only a reasonable request. Mr. CHAVEZ. Mr. President-—— Mr. WHERRY. Just a moment. If that cannot be done, then I should cer- tainly be glad to enter into a unanimous- consent agreement to vote at a certain time on the nominations. But I want the Recorp to show that, as far as I am concerned, I should be perfectly agree- able to complying with the suggestion made by the majority leader and the junior Senator from Oregon, that the latter have an opportunity to interrogate the nominees in executive session and that thereafter the committee report to the Senate. Mr. LUCAS. Mr. President, will the Senator from Oregon yield? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Genator from Oregon yield to the Sen- ator from Tiinois? Mr. MORSE. I yield. CONGRESSIONAL RECORD—SENATE Mr, LUCAS. I desire to ask the Sen- ator this question: In the event the meeting of the committee is held tomor- row afternoon, could the Senate again take up the nominations at 6 o'clock, and vote at 7? Mr. MORSE. Mr. President, before answering the Senator from Illinois, may I first address a comment to the Senator from New Mexico [Mr. Cuavez]. I de- sire to do that so there may be removed any doubt in his mind as to where the Senator from Oregon stands on his unanimous-consent request. The Sen- ator from Oregon will object to that request and he wishes to say to the Senator from New Mexico that he does not appreciate the implications of the discourtesy contained therein. Mr. CHAVEZ. Mr. President—— Mr. MORSE. Now, answering the Senator from Tilinois—— Mr. CHAVEZ. Mr. President, will the Senator yield? The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Oregon has the floor. Mr. MORSE. Answering the Senator from Illinois, the Senator from Oregon wishes to say that he has tried, as the Recorp will show, to be exceedingly fair about a matter which has a great many delicate angles. Mr. MAYBANK. Mr. President, will the Senator yield? Mr. MORSE. The Senator from Ore- gon has asked, now for days, to have an opportunity to discuss this matter in executive session. But let him make very clear to the Senate and to the Democratic side of the aisle that if what they want is a full discussion of this question on the floor of the Senate, I shall give it to them for about 6 hours— tonight. But I prefer not to do it. T have tried to be reasonable and fair about this matter; but if Senators do not want to extend me the courtesy I have requested, we will stay here until I finish my discussion tonight. Mr. MAYBANK. Mr. President, will the Senator yield? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from Oregon yield to the Sena- tor from South Carolina? Mr. MORSE. I yield. Mr, MAYBANK. Mr. President, it is now about 12 minutes to 7, and in view of the fact that members of the Bank- ing and Currency Committee have gone home, I ask unanimous consent that the Secretary of the Senate notify the mem- bers of the Banking and Currency Com- mittee that we shall meet at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon to hear the Senator from Oregon. Mr, President, I request unanimous consent to that effect. Mr. CHAVEZ. Mr. President, I have a unanimous-consent request to make, my-~ seit. Mr, LUCAS. Mr. President, I demand the regular order. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Chair believes that the Senator from Oregon objected to the unanimous-con- sent request of the Senator from New Mexico. Mr. MORSE. That is correct. The PRESIDING OFFICER. There is now a unanimous-consent request by the JULY 18 Senator from South Carolina, which is before the Senate. Mr, CHAVEZ. I object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from New Mexico objects. Mr. LUCAS and Mr. WHERRY ad- dressed the Chair. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from Oregon yield, and if so to whom? Mr. MORSE. I yield first to the Sen- ator from Ilinois. Mr. LUCAS. I was under the impres- sion that the Senator from Oregon and I were just about to have a meeting of the minds with respect to voting at 7 o’clock tomorrow or at any other time the Senator might suggest, in keeping with his position, with respect to the amount of time it will take to debate the matter. Mr. MORSE. Mr. President, it is my judgment that after an executive session of the committee we could vote on these nominations within an hour after they are returned to the floor of the Senate. I do not think 7 o’clock tomorrow night should necessarily be the time at which to vote. I think we can vote on the nom- inations at 5 o’clock or we can vote at 6 o'clock. Mr. LUCAS. Mr. President, will the Senator yield further? Mr, MORSE. I yield. Mr, LUCAS. With that understand- ing, Iam sure the chairman of the Bank- ing and Currency Committee will call his committee together tomorrow afternoon in order to hear the distinguished Sen- ator from Oregon with respect to com- plaints. It does not require any unan- tmous-consent request. The Senator from South Carolina, I am sure, will ad- vise the Senator from Oregon that the committee will hold a meeting, and we can make disposition of the matter with- out any unanimous-consent agreement. Mr. MORSE. I have no objection to voting at 6, at 6:80, or at 7 o’clock to- morrow. Mr. LUCAS. With that understand- ing, Mr. President, I ask unanimous con- sent that when we reach the hour of 5 o’clock tomorrow we proceed to the con- sideration of executive business, to con- sider the nominations of the four men referred to to be members of the Export- Import Bank, that at 6 o’clock the Sen- ate vote on the nominations, and that the time be divided equally between the Senator from Oregon (Mr. Morass], and the Senator from South Carolina (Mr. MAayaanr!. Mr. CHAVEZ. Mr. President, reserv- ing the right to object—and I do not think I shall object—this is a pecullar situation in the United States Senate. ‘What is theye so secret about any infor- mation a Senator may have as against nominations which have been favorably reported by the committee that the peo- ple of the United States should not know about it? Is it of such a grave nature that it is necessary to hold an executive session? What more is the committee going to find out that the people of this country should not know? I not rise in order to jeopardize the rights of the Senator fram Oregon in any way, but I feel that if it takes 5 hours, if it is so serious that it takes that
1950 long a time to inform the Senate as to how bad or how good these nominees are, it is about time the Senate and the peo- ple of the United States know about it, Why hold a secret session? Why not tell us about it? Mr, MAYBANK. Mr. President, will the Senator yield? Mr, CHAVEZ. In a moment. Mr. MAYBANK. The Senate is in executive session. Mr. CHAVEZ. Yes. The audience in the galleries listens to us. We are in open executive session, and if the infor- mation is so grave that it requires 5 hours to tell us about it, it is time we listened for 5 hours. I object. Mr. MAYBANK. Mr. President, I am certain that the Senator from Ore- gon would not wish a secret session. Mr. MORSE. I asked for an executive session of the committee in the first instance. Mr. MAYBANK. Would the Senator from Oregon object to having an open session? Mr. MORSE. I should prefer to meet with the committee in executive session and then let the committee decide after it heard me if it wishes an open hearing. Mr. MAYBANK. I appreciate what the Senator says, that the committee can decide afterward: Mr. MORSE. Mr. President, in view of the objection made by the Senator from New Mexico, I move that these nominations remain on the executive calendar so that the Committee on Banking and Currency may provide me with an opportunity to discuss the poli- cies of the Export-Import Bank with the committee tomorrow afternoon, with the understanding that the Senate will vote on the nominations at any time starting from 6 o’clock p. m, tomorrow. Mr. LUCAS. Mr. President, I hope the Senator will not press that motion. ‘We can have an understanding that the names will remain on the calendar and that the Senator from Oregon will have his day in court before the Committee on Banking and Currency tomorrow af- ternoon, say, at 2:30 o’clock, and he can appear before the committee and give the committee the information which he has. I am not aware of how serious the information may be. If it is as serious as the Senator from Oregon says it is, I do not want it to be understood that we are going to hold a hearing in executive session. I make that suggestion only be- cause I do not want the Democratic Party to be put in a false light. Mr. MORSE. I assure the Senator from Illinois that I shall summarize the Position I take in the committee meeting tomorrow because I have no intention of putting the Democratic Party in a false light and there is nothing in what I have to say to the committee which will put the Democratic Party in a false light. Mr. LUCAS. The Senator can sum- marize the situation, but it still leaves an inference of embarrassment to the Demo- cratic Party. Mr. MORSE. I think the Senator is entitled to know the general line of in~ quiry which the junior Senator from Oregon intends to pursue in committee. I have already covered it in my speech CONGRESSIONAL RECORD—SENATE of June 27 on the floor. It goes to the question of the criteria, the standards, and the policies which the Export-Im- Port Bank applied in granting loans to various nations, including particularly the Argentine loan about which I think the committee ought to ask certain ques- tions before a final vote is taken on these nominations, Mr. LUCAS. Mr. President, I think we understand each other as a result of the colloquy which has taken place. I think it is In order to move that the Senate stand in recess until tomorrow at 12 o’clock-——~ Mr. WHERRY. Mr. President, will the Senator yield? Mr. LUCAS. I yield. Mr. WHERRY. The Senate is now in executive session. Mr. LUCAS. I am aware of that. I have not yet moved a recess. I am ex- Ploring the situation a litile bit. . Mr. MAGNUSON. Mr. President—— Mr, LUCAS. Pleaselet me finish what I was trying to say. At 2:30 tomorrow afternoon the Com- mittee on Banking and Currency will meet in the hearing room of the Com- mittee on the District of Columbia, ad- jacent to the Senate Chamber. Follow- ing that, at 5 o’clock or 5:30 o'clock, we can proceed with the nominations, The Senator from Oregon thinks it will not take more than an hour. Before I move that the Senate take a recess until tomorrow at 12 o'clock, I yield to the Senator from New Mexico. Mr. CHAVEZ. Mr. President, will the Senate as a whole be informed as to what new evidence or new information was adduced at the committee meeting tomorrow? Mr, LUCAS. That will be a matter for the committee to determine, Mr. MAYBANK. Mr. President, will the Senator yield? Mr. MORSE. I yield. Mr. MAYBANK. Wecan hold a meet- ing of the committee in the committee room of the Committee on the District of Columbia at 2:30, with the under- standing that any Senator who wants to attend may attend. Does the Senator from Oregon agree to that? Mr. MORSE. I agree. Mr. LUCAS. Does the Senator from Oregon yield the floor? Mr. MORSE. I yield the floor. Mr. MAGNUSON. Mr. President, will the Senator yield? Mr. LUCAS. I yield to the Senator from Washington. Mr. MAGNUSON. Mr. President, I was going to ask regarding the other nominations, but so long as most of the Members have gone, it might be better to go through with the executive calen- dar tomorrow. Mr. LUCAS. We shall go through with the executive calendar tomorrow. Mr, SALTONSTALL. Mr. President, the majority leader made a statement which I think should be clarified. Is it the intention of the majority leader to take up contested nominations? Mr, LUCAS. Not the contested nom- inations. Nominations which are ob- jected to will go over. _ Mr. SALTONSTALL, Very well, 10515 RECESS Mr. LUCAS. Mr. President, as in leg- islative session, I now move that .the Senate stand in recess until 12 o'clock noon tomorrow. The motion was agreed to; and (at 7 o’clock p,m.) the Senate took a recess until tomorrow, Wednesday, July 19, 1950, at 12 o’clock meridian.

We are daily praying that Thy special blessing may rest upon our t, our Speaker, and all the leaders and Mem- bers of this legislative body. Grant un- to them that spiritual guidanco which transcends the fallibility of all human wisdom and that strength which never fails or grows weary in well-doing. Hasten the time when sentiments and thoughts of good will shall permeate the mind of man and the righteousness of Ged shall flow everywhere as a mighty stream lifting the nations of the earth into the loftier altitudes of peace. In Christ’s name we pray. Amen. The Journal.of the proceedings of yes< terday was read and approved. ADDITIONAL EMERGENCY MILITARY APPROPRIATIONS Mr, MAHON. Mr, Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to address the House JULY 18 for 1 minute and to revise and extend my remarks. The SPEAKER. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from Texas? There was no objection. Mr. MAHON. Mr. Speaker, during ree cent days since the Korean crisis arose, Members have frequently asked me about the necessity for additional funds for the Armed Forces. We have all been de- sirous of being of every possible service in this important matter. | Immediately after hostilities began in Korea, in my capacity as chairman of the Armed Forces Subcommittee on Ap- propriations and acting on the advice of the subcommittee, I communicated with the President and the Secretary of De- fense stating that we were prepared to give immediate consideration to a re« quest for additional funds to meet the emergency. I stated that we would promptly make all needed funds avail- able, making this statement because I knew the attitude of the House. The President advised that the matter would have his attention and that we would be advised of any needed assistance. The Secretary of Defense made similar re- sponse. I have no doubt that the House will spbrove the actions of the subcommit- e, It is against this background that the House will receive the President’s mes« sage tomorrow and I have full confi- dence that all necessary funds will be promptly provided. I shall do all in my power to provide quick action. We have just been waiting to receive the recom~< mendations of the Armed Forces in order that we might take action here. A UNITED STATES MEDICAL ACADEMY Mr. HELLER. Mr. Speaker, I ask ‘unanimous consent to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend my remarks. The SPEAKER. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from New York? There was no objection. Mr. HELLER. Mr. Speaker, I recently had occasion to discuss with a friend of mine, Dr. Alexander Kaye, of New York City, 2 prominent surgeon, the problem of the shortage of doctors which exists in the country as a whole. In the course of our very interesting talk he called to my attention an article which appeared in the May 1950 issue of Medical Eco- nomics which proposed a Federal school for physicians; that is, a West Point of medicine, providing full training at no expense to carefully selected medical candidates to produce M. D.'s for Govern- ment seryice. I thought so well of this idea that I have this day introduced a bill to create a medical academy. I wish to call this bill to the attention and con- sideration of my colleagues, Ite purpose is to bring increased num- bers of physicians and denitists into Gov- ernment service, both in military and clyiifan capacities, thus gradually elim- inating the shortage of doctors whi exists in the Federal Government, and ps partially remedying the situation the country.
1950 Mr, Speaker,.a United States Medical Academy may be the only way to insure enough doctors for Government service if civilian medicine continues to increase in amount and in its monetary rewards. Under the provisions of this bill, such an academy would insure a constant and regular flow of physicians and dentists into government after the graduation of the institution’s first class. Even if it were unable to meet all the Government's needs, the academy’s graduates could form the necessary core of a Government medical service. The proposed legislation contains the following major provisions: First. It creates the United States Medical Academy along lines similar to the Military Academy, the Naval Acade- my, the Coast Guard Academy, and the Merchant Marine Academy. Second. Appointments to this academy would be made from all congressional dis- tricts, Territories, the District of Colum- bia, Puerto Rico, and the Canal Zone, 8 from each State at large, and 132 from the United States at large. Third. Candidates for admission would be at least 20 years of age but less than 25, graduates of a college or university or the equivalent, citizens of the United States, and of good moral character. Fourth. The course of study would in- clude the following subjects: anatomy, physiology, chemistry, hygiene, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, pathology, bacteriology, and diagnosis. Fifth. Graduates from the academy would remain in Government service for 5 years. Sixth. All employees of the academy would be paid in accordance with the provisions of the Classification Act of 1949 and would be subject to the provi- sions of the civil-service retirement laws. Seventh. The academy would have a superintendent appointed by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, for a term of 10 years, and a Board of Visitors with prescribed pay and mini- mum duties, Eighth. Certain other general sections are included to carry out the provisions of the act. Mr. Speaker, Iam hopeful that this bill will receive the approval of the commit- tee to which it will be referred and the subsequent approval of the House of Representatives, CENSORING OF WAR INFORMATION Mr. CROOK. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend my remarks. The SPEAKER, Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from In- diana? There was no objection. Mr. CROOK. Mr. Speaker, living in the greatest country on the face of the earth and knowing in these critical times that on the fringe we are confronted with ruthless groups of Communists with whom we are engaged in battle today, may I say thet I am of the opinion we are entirely too free in divulging just what we are doing and propose to do in the arena of military activities in these critical times. Perusing the press and chronictes of the time and listening CONGRESSIONAL RECORD—HOUSE very carefully to radio reports, I am stimulated to believe that we are giving the enemies as much information or more than we are giving to our own People, Buch practice ig most detrimental, Is it not about time to start censor- ing some of the information that is going out through the medium of the press and over the radio? It is something for us to think about, I want to assure the membership. North Korea and her sup- ply forces certainly refrain from telling us and the world of their designed plans and movement of reinforcements. SPECIAL ORDER GRANTED Mrs. ROGERS of Massachusetts was given permission to address the House for 2 minutes today, following the legis- lative program and any special orders heretofore entered. COORDINATION OF CIVILIAN DEFENSE Mrs. ROGERS of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend my remarks. The SPEAKER. Is there objection to the request of the gentlewoman from Massachusetts? There was no objection. Mrs. ROGERS of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, I have been so much disturbed at what I believe to be a lack of coor- dination in civilian defense that I am to- day introducing a bill which would create an agency and a head thereof for Fed- eral National Civilian Defense which would report directly to the President. There seems to be no head today. It is under the War Resources Board but there is no central office for leader- ship and guidance for control, although I do not like the word “control.” There should be a guiding and lead- ing center created very much as the Red Cross operates. I have heard it stated that more has not been done about ci- vilian control because of the war hys- teria that might arise. The Red Cross takes care of disasters and js all geared and ready to go when we have a hurri- cane or great fire or other disaster. We ought to do the same thing for civilian defense today. It should be a continu- ing agency just as is American Red Cross, This should be done and done at once. There is no time to lose. Soviet Russia has civilian control. England and Nor- way and other countries all have na- tional civilian guidance and leadership of control. PRIVATE CALENDAR The SPEAKER. This is Private Cal- endar day.

EXTENSION OF MUTUAL DEFENSE ASSISTANCE ACT OF 1949 Mr. DELANEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 80 minutes to the gentleman from Tlli- nois [Mr. ALLEN], and now yield myself 3 minutes. Mr. Speaker, this resolution makes in order the bill 8. 3809, known as the Ex- tension of the Mutual Defense Assist- ance Act of 1949. I shall not discuss the contents of the bill but rather con- fine myself to the rule. Yesterday the Committee on Foreign Affairs appeared before the Committee on Rules and requested a rule waiving points of order and asking for a full day’s debate. Yesterday afternoon the distinguished majority leader, the gen- tleman from Massachusetts [Mr. Mc- Cormack], asked unanimous consent that the House meet at 11 o’clock so that we could consider this bill in de- tail, The resolution also provides for amendment under the 5-minute rule. In view of the urgency of the situa- tion at this particular time, I think this body should be given a full opportunity to hear the members of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, who have held a number of open sessions and a number of executive sessions on this subject. I shall, therefore, ask that the rule be adopted immediately. Mr. ALLEN of INinois. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Mllinvis [Mr. ARENps]. Mr. ARENDS. Mr. Speaker, we have been advised that tomorrow we will re- ceive a message from the President of the United States. I do not profess to know exactly what the President will say in this message or cll the recommenda- tions he will make, He will undoubtedly discuss the dis- turbing situation in Korea, the present inadequacy of our existing defense ma- chinery, and he will recommend a sizable increase in appropriations for defense purposes. I think I can say now thai such a rec- ommendation will have the overwhelm- ing support of the Congress. Above all else, we are determined that our people have the best possible defense—a de- fense second to none—prepared to meet any emergency. There is much that could be said about our tragic lack of preparedness as re- vealed by the developments in Korea. The Korean tragedy is not the fault of the Congress. We have been spending around fifteen billions a year for defense purposes, It has been the Congress that has been in- sisting upon a larger Air Force. It has been the Congress that has prevented destruction of the Marine Corps. It has been the Congress that has repeatedly emphasized the need for supercarriers as mobile air bases, while some in charge JULY 18 of our defense have tended to scuttle the VY. At a later date I shall probably have _ occasion to discuss the tragedy of errors, diplomatic and military, on the part of the administration that has resulted in the costly Korean reverses. In view of necessity of increasing our defense expenditures I rise at this time to emphasize again how important it is that we put our fiscal house in order to meet this emergency situation. It is imperative that we reduce the expendi- tures for other things. We need more roads, more dams, and improved har- bors. All these various public works projects have merit. But, Mr. Speaker, they should be postponed. The omnibus appropriations bill is still pending in the Senate. We can still re- duce proposed domestic spending by at least $5,000,000,000 in order to meet these extraordinary defense requirements. The greatest tragedy of all would be to destroy ourselves while seeking to defend ourselves. I cannot too strongly em- phasize that a sound fiscal policy is as important to our national defense as men, guns, tanks, airplanes, and ships. I earnestly urge a drastic reduction in domestic spending without delay. We must do it now, or it will again be too late and too little. Mr. DELANEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Pennsyl- vania [Mr. FLoop], Mr. FLOOD. Mr. Speaker, I have just introduced a resolution calling for an investigation by the Committee on the District of Columbia into war-scare profiteering in the District. Certain bakers in the District of Columbia, and I am advised the same thing is going on in Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, and Boston, are raising the price of a loaf of bread 1 cent, for no reason at all, Iam advised there is no justification of any kind for this conduct. It is an obvious and patent attempt by certain elements to take advantage of the existing emer- gency. This is the Nation’s Capital. This is a good place for such an investigation to begin. It can serve as a warning to that element at any other place in the Nation or to any other business that might have the same idea. I hope the distinguished chairman of the Commit- tee on the District of Columbia holds a meeting upon this resolution and acts immediately to crack down on this mob as of now. Mr. ALLEN of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Iowa {Mr. Gross]. Mr, GROSS, Mr. Speaker, through- out our history, some so-called Ameri- cans have made unconscionable profits out of war at the expense of ordinary citizens, including those doing the fight- ing and dying. World War I made many millionaires, World War II, through cost-plus con- tracts, made more billion-dollar corpora- tions and many more millionaires, There has never been any excuse for this, and it is unthinkable today that anybody should profit from American blood now mixing with the mud of South Korea, It is the duty of every Member of Con- gress and the administration to see to it
1950 that no more profits are made out of wars in which this Nation {is involved. And this inckides such high-sounding but nevertheless deadly operations as United Nations police action. Wounds are just as painful and our dead are just as dead under the flag of the United Nations as under the flag of the United States. Fancy phrases and slogans pro- vide no consolation tn battle, especially when United Nations ground forces con- sist only of Americans. Mr. Speaker, the shooting started only 3 weeks ago, but already some prices are skyrocketing. I call your attention to pork. For the week ending June 23, just prior to the outbreak of hostilities in Korea, the average price of butcher hogs at Chicago was $19.65 per hundredweight or 19.65 eents a pound, according to the Depart- ment of Agriculture. For the week end- ing July 14, the average price of butcher hogs was $24, an increase of 4.35 cents a pound. Can the farmer be blamed? Of course not. The farmer {s the only busi- nessman in the country who has nothing to say as to his selling price. He takes what the buyer is willing to pay. Now let us follow the hogs through the markets. For the week ending June 23, 10 to 12-pound loins were selling at 45.70 cents a pound wholesale at Chicago, ac- cording to the Department of Agricul- ture. For the week ending July 14, the same grade pork loins had jumped to 64.40 cents a pound or an increase of 18.70 cents a pound while pork on the hoof was increasing only 4.35 cents a pound. Meanwhile, what was happening in the retail market at the corner store? A Department of Agriculture survey of the retail meat situation at Baltimore, in approximately the same period previous- ly mentioned, showed that center cut pork chops went up from 78 to 85 cents a pound, an increase of 7 cents. There, Mr. Speaker, is the picture: Live hogs increased 4.35 cents a pound. Retail pork chops increased 7 cents a pound. Wholesale pork loins increased 18.70 cents a pound. Who is getting fat in the pork barrel? Mr. EBERHARTER. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield? Mr. GRO6B. I yield. Mr. EBERHARTER. I just want to call attention to the fact of what this increase means. Four or five cents a pound means a 20-percent increase, which is certainly uncenscionable. That is a 20- or 2$-percent increase where there is no reason for it whatsoever. Mr. GROSS. The gentleman is right. Mr. EBERHARTER. I am delighted the gentleman ts calling the attention of the membership to these facts. The SPEAKER. ‘The time of the gen- Geman from Iowa has expired. Mr. ALLAN of Illinois, Mr. Speaker, Z yield to the gentleman from Montana iMr. D’Ewarri. Mr. D'EWART. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to extend my re- marks at this point in the Bzooxs. The GPEAKER. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from Montana? There was no objection. CONGRESSIONAL RECORD—HOUSE Mr. D’EWART. Mr. Speaker, the hearings of the International Joint Com- mission on the subject of the division and use of the waters of the Belly and Waterton Rivers have been completed in the State of Montana and ‘the Prov- ince of Alberta. The people of Montana are hopeful that the Commission will lose no time in arriving at a just decision, based upon the testimony given at these hearings and the first-hand information gained from the Commission’s field trip over the area concerned in both the United States and Canada. I was fortunate to be able to parti- cipate in the hearing at Shelby, Mont., and have since read the transcript of the subsequent hearings at Havre, Mont. The individual citizens of Montana are to be commended for their frank and intelligent presentation of the need for this water to irrigate lands in Glacier, Toole, Liberty, and Hill Counties. Men of long expertence in the area, including Senator George Wilson; P. R. MacHale; Douglas Parker, and John C. Hoyt, of Shelby; J. P. Setfert, of Conrad; Fred Mundy, of Gildford; Judge E. B. Elwell, of Havre, and many others showed the Commission, from their own long years of experience and their knowledge of the country, that the people of northern Montana are determined to put the wa- ters of the Waterton and Belly Rivers, which arise in our State, to heneficial use on the excellent land of their region, and that such a program will add im- measurably to the development and the economic stability of the area. I informed the Commission that this effort has the support of the Montana delegation in Congress, of which I was the only one able to be present in per- son, I spoke not only as the represen- tative of the district, but also as a mem- ber of the Public Lands Committee of the House authorized by the chairman, the gentieman from Florida, to repre- sent that body. I spoke also as a pri- vate citizen who has taken an active part in the development of Montana's irrigation for many years, and as one who has exerted every effort to save for Montana the Grst right to the use of the waters which arise in our hiils and moun- In connection with the discussion of @ proposed All-American Tunnel project through which the waters of the Belly and Waterton could be diverted to bene. ficiel use in Montana, I presented the Commission with an exhibit showing a number of tunnel projects which have been constructed, both here and abroad, and which show beyond doubt that the All-American Tunnel could be built if necessary. At the request of the Commis- sion, I am submitting additional evi- dence on these projects. Qn June 15 I introduced in the Recorp the formal statement I presented to the Comminsion and the letters and state- ments forwarded by Senators Ecrom and Muasay and Representative Mamariz.p. I include at this time, a3 an addition to the abowe, the remarks of the Hon- orable J, Hugo Aronson, State Senatar of Glacier County, who was Senatar Ec- 10527 ton’s representative on the field trip and at the hearings of the Commission: Remarns or Starz Senator J. Hoco ARonsow Mr. Chairman and members of the Com- mission, my name is J. Hugo Aronson and I am State senator from Glacier County, Mont. By way of explaining my presence here, I shall read a short paragraph from a letter which I received from Senator Zanes Ecron. “Owing to the preasure of legislation now before Congress, it will be impossible for me to attend the hearings pertatning to the Waterton-Belly Rivers reference, and I there- fore request that you attend the hearings as my personal representative. You are au- thorized to make such statements on my behalf as you find the situation warrants. I would consider it a personal favor if you could also participate in the on-the-ground inspection of the area involved prior to the holding of the first hearing.” As Senator Ecron’s representative, I have accompanied the Commission on its inspec- tion trip, and have learned with a great deal of interest something of the plans of the development of the flows of the Waterton- Belly Rivers. IT have lived in Montana since 1914, and spent many years in field operations until I entered my present occupation of farming. I have represented Glacier County in hoth houses of the legislature since 1089. At the present time I am in the senate. I am deeply interasted in the future of this great Btate and want to do all that I can to save for the State a great natural resource, the water that it must have if it is to attain full development, ‘This is especially true here in northern Montana where all available trrigation water is needed to develop the area to ite maximum capacity, and at the same time to insure it against recurrent periods of severe drought. I feel that Mon- tana has @ Just and prior claim to such por- tions of the waters of the Waterton-Belly Rivers as arise within its borders, and that its needs are valid and real if this great section of our State is to accomplish ur- gently needed development. I realize that our Canadian neighbors need some of the water of these rivers for the development of their economy, also. But I have faith in their spirit of fair dealing to believe that plans of mutual benefit can be worked out between the representatives of both countries. However, I feel that we should not lose sight of the fact that the waters to be considered in such plans, ace cording to the reference of 1048 as agreed upon by the Government, includes a large amount which arises in Canada as well as that which arises in the United States. Therefore, the fair plans of which I speak must make use of all of the water on both aides of the boundary and not just that of United States origin. Otherwise, I feel sure that means can and will be found to put all of the United States water to use in the United States, and I believe that such a program might not be to the best interests of either of our two peoples. Five years have elapsed since the matter fret came under consideration, and the Commiasion has had jurisdiction since January of 1948. It is felt that the Com- maiasion should arrive at an early decision. Mr. ALLEN of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Fo.tow]. Mr. FULTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise this morning to ask a question. The Foreign Affairs Committee of this House finished action on the niutual defense assistance bill Tuesday of last week, July 11th. Many of us on the Foreign Affairs Com- mittee felt that the program required im- mediate action, As you know, men and materials do not move immediately on
10528 the passage of legislation. So looking: ahead to the future for 18 months or 2 years, long before which time this equip- ment will be immediately required, there will be a delay of 1 week in procurement of the whole program. I would like to know from the Rules Committee, which is, after all, responsible to the House, why this vital legislation was held up a week before it came to the floor of the House for debate. Who is responsible for the delay? Mr. AUGUST H. ANDRESEN. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield? Mr, FULTON. I yield. Mr. AUGUST H. ANDRESEN. Can the gentleman tell us whether or not the appropriations that were authorized for the same purpose last year have been used? Mr. FULTON. No they have not been used by the Administration. The trouble is that last year even when Congress gave its expression of opinion, the equipment, and material and defense weapons did not move. These required items did not move either to Korea or to China. Mr. AUGUST H. ANDRESEN. Who is responsible for that? Mr. ALLEN of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may use. Mr. Speaker, I do not know, so far as I have been able to ascertain, that there is anyone opposed to the rule. The bill was reported out unanimously by the Commitiee on Foreign Affairs and the rule was reported out unanimously by the Committee on Rules. I believe the membership wish more to hear the obser- vations of the members of the Commit- tee on Foreign Affairs than those of the Committee on Rules, so I yield back the remainder of my time. Mr. DELANEY. Mr. Speaker, I move the previous question. The previous question was ordered. The resolution was agreed to. Mr. KEE. Mr. Speaker, I move that the House resolve itself into the Com- mittee of the Whole House on the State of the Union for the consideration of the bill (S. 3809) to amend the Mutual De- fense Assistance Act of 1949. The motion was agreed to. Accordingly the House resolved itself into the Committee of the Whole House on the State of the Union for the con- sideration of the bill (S. 3809) to amend the Mutual Defense Assistance Act of 1949, with Mr. Mirus in the chair. The Clerk read the titie of the bill. By unanimous consent, the first read- ing of the bill was dispensed with. The CHAIRMAN. Under the rule, de- bate is limited to 1 day, the time to be equally divided and to be controlled by the gentleman from West Virginia [Mr. Kez] and the gentleman from Ohio [Mr, Vorys!. Mr, KEE. Mr. Chairman, I yield my- self 15 minutes. Mr. Chairman, we have before us to- day Senate bill 3809, a bill extending the Mutual Defense Assistance Act of 1949, and authorizing appropriations therefor through the fiscal year 1951. Both the Senate Committees on Foreign Relations and Armed Services, acting jointly, and the House Committee on Foreign Affairs had before them for consideration dur- CONGRESSIONAL RECORD—HOUSE ing their hearings on this legislation an identical draft of the proposed measure, The bill, following the general form of the draft, had been introduced in the Senate but not in the House. Our committee intended to consider the draft, then mark up and pass the bill out of committee, and, following that, to introduce it as a clean bill. We held many hearings, beginning on June 5, the same day the President's mes- sage to the Congress, urging the legisla- tion, was referred to the Foreign Affairs Committee. The committee held 6 open sessions and 12 executive. The Senate committees, however, com- pleted their hearings on Senate bill 3809, reported it favorably, and, on June 30, the Senate passed it unanimously—not a dissenting vote. On July 3 the Senate bill was referred to the House Foreign Affairs Committee. On July 10 the committee took up the Senate bill and considered it in the light of the mass of testimony presented at the several] previous hearings. On close examination, our committee found that the Senate bill was prac- tically identical with the draft we had considered ; in fact, it had been amended in only three respects, to wit, first, the so-called Taft amendment, which sup- plied a yardstick for the determination of the meaning of the words “fair value” as applied to reimbursable aid; second, an amendment authorizing the Presi-~ dent, after consultation with the Atlantic Pact nations, to supply military aid on a@ grant basis to any other European country whose defense was deemed nec- essary to the security of the other signa- tories to the pact; and, third, the so- called Ellender amendment, authorizing the President to suspend all aid to any country failing to do its full share toward carrying out the MDA program. The first two amendments had already been considered by the committee and had met with approval. The committee found the Ellender amendment unob- jectionable. In view of these facts, the Foreign Af- fairs Committee gave its full approval to 8. 3809 as it passed the Senate, and reported it out without a dissenting vote—the vote in favor of the bill was 20 to none. The one member of the com- mittee failing to vote was absent on a study mission to Central America, made on behalf of the committee. 8S. 3809, the bill as it passed the Sen- ate and as it has been reported to the House by the Foreign Affairs Commit- tee, will authorize, for a continuance of mutual defense assistance for the fiscal year 1951, a total of $1,222,500,000 of new funds to be applied as follows: First. For providing military assist. ance to the North Atlantic Treaty na- tions, including $75,000,000 for equip- ment and raw materials to increase mil- itary production in western Europe, and $12,000,000 for expenses of administer- ing the entire act, $1,000,000,000. Second. For equipment, materials, and supplies for defense of Turkey, Greece, and Iran, $131,500,000. Third. For the Philippines and Korea, $16,000,000. JuLY 18 Fourth. For continuing and expand- ing the program now in operation in the general area of China, $75,000,000. Total, $1,222,500,000. It should also be noted that for the year 1950, there was appropriated for the MDA program the sum of $1,314,- 000,000. Of this amount, approximately $1,100,000,000 has been obligated for the year 1950, leaving a balance of approxi- mately $214,000,000 to be carried over. This balance was fully considered in making up the estimates of the require- ments for 1951. Therefore, this balance, together with the new appropriation provided by the pending measure, makes a total of $1,436,500,000 as repre- senting the cost to the United States of the 1951 program. In reporting this bill to the House, our committee report, beginning on page 57 contains a section-by-section analysis of the pending measure. There were very material changes made in the basic provisions of the orig- inal act. A few of such changes might well be mentioned. Section 3, amending section 104 of the existing statute, is a clarifying amendment stating more clearly what types of production equipment may be supplied. The amendment is designed to permit the stepping up of defense production on the part of the countries participating in the program. Section 4 merely amends the heading of title II of the original act. It takes Iran from title III, where it had been placed in company with Korea and the Philippines, and places it with Greece and Turkey in title I. No changes of policy are involved. Section 7 is a new subsection to sec- tion 302 of the act of 1949, authorizing the $16,000,000 for additional aid to Korea and the Philippines for the year 1951, Section 8 also adds a new subsection to section 303 of the 1949 act authoriz- ing an additional $75,000,000 appropri- ation for the general area of China. It also provides certain restrictions on the disbursement of the fund. I might interpolate here. Those re- strictions were merely on the manner in which the President disbursed this $75,- 000,000. The act of 1949 provides that the President could disburse the entire $75,000,000 without any invoices. In the bill under consideration a restriction is placed to the effect that of this amount the President can disburse $35,000,000 without such invoices, but of that $35,- 000,000 only $7,500,000 can be disbursed without notification to both the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, Section 9: Under the existing statute, excess materials and equipment can be supplied in the amount of $450,000,000 based on the average original procure- ment cost of such equipment, The amendment would raise the amount that can be supplied by an additional $250,- 000,000. Section 10: This section amends sec- tion 403 and provides for a carry-over until June 30, 1951, of any unexpended balance of the appropriation for the mu- tual defense-assistance program,
1950 Section 11: This section amends sec- tion 404 and provides that certain au- thority granted to the President under a revision of section 408—to transfer funds from title to title and when aid should be granted under certain conditions to other countries—cannot be delegated by the President but must be exercised by him alone. Section 12—three subsections—amend- ing section 408 of the existing statute. The original act authorized the Presi- dent to transfer not to exceed 5 percent of the amounts made available by any title of the act to the purposcs of any other title. The amendment would in- crease this to 10 percent. The amend- ment further broadens the President's authority by enabling him, within the 10- percent limit, to aid any European na- tion whose strategic location makes it directly important to the defense of the North Atlantic area. Before supplying such aid, however, the President must consult with the other nations which are parties to the North Atlantic Treaty. Another subsection authorizes use by the United States of local currencies for administrative expenses of the program. The third subsection deals at length with the matter of reimbursable aid; it limite the amount of outstanding con- tracts to a total of $100,000,000 at any one time, For the further information of the House, may I add that the following countries have signed mutual defense assistance agreements with the United States: Canada—has not requested aassist- ance, but is eligible; United Kingdom; Belgium: France; Luxemburg; Nether- lands; Italy; Denmark; Norway; Ice- Jand—has not requested assistance, but is eligible; Portugal—has not requested assistance, but is eligible; known as the North Atlantic Treaty states. They bave an organization called the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. This is aided by a Council, composed of the for- eign ministers of each member Nation, See chart, page 17 of the report. Iran, Philippines, and Korea, have also signed bilateral agreements with United States. Greece and Turkey: No new agree- ments necessary. Arrangements had al. ready been concluded under the Greece- Turkey Aid Act of May 27, 1947, Public Law 75, Elshtieth Congress. Our bilateral agreements with the various countries are all couched in practically the same terms, and follow the requirements of the statute. Mr. Chairman, this program has now been carried forward for 1 year. We had many witnesses before our commit- tee, testifying that great progress has been made. Some objection has been raised to the showing by those who have peen in charge of the program with re- aspect to this progress, but it must be re- membered that a large amount of the funds appropriated by the act of 1949 was withheld until the various coun- tries which are participants of this aid had established in western Europe plans for a united and integrated defense, which plans had to be approved by the President of the United States. It took CONGRESSIONAL RECORD—HOUSE quite some time after the passage of the act for the preparation and adop- tion of these plans, It was not until January of last year that the plans were approved by the President for this unit- ed and integrated defense. More, the question of shipping, the question of or- ganization, and all of the various prob- Jems incident to a great undertaking, had to be solved, but the showing has been a magnificent one, and the accom- plishment great, as you will find by a perusal of the report of the Foreign Af- fairs Committee. I recommend the passage of this bill without amendment. Mr. VORYS. Mr. Chairman, acting on behalf of the gentleman from New Jer- sey, I yleld to the gentleman from New Jersey, our beloved former chairman and now distinguished ranking minority member of our committee, Dr. Eaton, 10 minutes. Mr. EATON. Mr. Chairman, I am deeply grateful to my distinguished col- league the gentleman from Ohio {Mr. Vorys] first of ali for doing all the work today that I ought to do, and doing it better, and secondly for permitting me to say a few words at this point in the discussion, I am, as usual, profoundly impressed with the unanimous interest of our en- tire membership in this most important international legislation. Judging by the umber of vacant chairs here, {t would {ndicate that we are prepared to go the limit in order to meet any circumstance that may arise in the world, good, bad, or indifferent. I want to express my gratification per- sonally as a citizen in the fact that we are now emerging from the moth-ball era in our history. Immediately after peace came a few years ago we put our Navy into moth balis. Then the rest of us went into moth balls mentally, morally, and physically, and in this moth-baill era our friend, Mr. Stalin, and his devoted fol- lowers have made hay whether the sun shone or not. Here we are again facing 8 tremendous challenge in the world. It would be folly for me to attempt to ana- lyze this very important piece of legisia- tion. It will be done so much better by abler men, and has already been done so well by our distinguished chairman. I wish, at this moment, to pay a per- sonal tribute to the chairman and to the members of our committee for the long and arduous and self-sacrificing toll they have given to the preparation of this legislation. Mr. Chairman, I think the time is here when everyone who possibly can will break through the mist and clouds men- tal, moral, and physical, which surround us and see the actual facts which con- front us in this world at this moment. I do not suppose in all history there can be found an instance where a great concept Hke communism, world-wide in its application, revolutionary to its meth- ods, has been supported by so able and resourceful and unscrupulous and im- moral a force as the present government in the Kremlin. The fact is we are face to face with a world situation which must be resolved either for darkness or for light. There is no twilight zone between. 106529 Hither the tireless world-wide program of the Communists to conquer the world, including the United States, will have to be stopped, defeated, and destroyed st great cost, or we will have to surrender everything that we have inherited from that day long ago when—~ By the rude bridge that arched the flood, Their flag to April's breeze unfurled, Here once the embattled farmers stood, And fired the shot heard round the world. That is what we have inherited—and we stand today facing the world as the champion of everything that we have in- herited—everything we hold dear and everything that constitutes the hope of e civilized mankind. This bill today, apart from its vari- ous provisions, costing us immense sums of money and immense sacrifice, must be considered as a symbol of that spirit- ual struggle that is shaping up in the world, in which the soul of mankind shall remain forever fettered and lost or shall be free and become once more clothed with the dignity that is worthy of the sons of God. I cannot add anything to the situa- tion. You know it as wellasIdo. We are exactly in the condition, speaking in the language of the farmer, of the rab- bit that climbed the tree when the dog was after him. It is not our nature, but we have got to do it. Either we have got to pull down our fiag, raise our arms and surrender, or we have got to stand up and fight. So I say today that this legislation, apart altogether from its actual provisions, its costs to our tax- payers, is a symbol, an announcement to the world that America is still on guard for the soul of mankind and for the freedom that has made life worth while down through the centuries. Mr. Chairman, in spite of the diffi- culties of this hour, in spite of the un- certainties and sorrow and loss now fac- ing us in Korea and elsewhere, in spite of the glacial advance of communism by every devil-inspired means possible, I take refuge, and I know you will, in the words of an inspired poet— Truth forever on the scaffold, Wrong forever on the throne, But behing the dim unknown Standeth God within the shadow Keeping watch above his own. And it fs no claim for special virtue when we say, in all humility, that the ideals of our American civilization are in accord with the purposes of the Di- vine Creator. Therefore, we might as well pass this bill without delay and get on with the next task that awaits us. I yieid back the remainder of my time, Mr. Chairman, Mr. VORYS. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 18 minutes. Mr. Chairman, we have already heard the detalis of this bill explained, and also the background and setting in which it should be considered. It 18 my province perhaps to go into gome other phases of it. For the first time in a number of years you have seen a bill come from our committee with no amendments. Our committee has a habit and practice of trying to improve
10530 whatever we receive but the bill that is before you is exactly as it passed the Senate. I want to explain the back- ground of that unusual circumstance. In the first place, this is simlpy an ex- tension of an existing law and policy, with some minor changes made neces- sary by time and experience. In the second place, in the considera- tion of this legislation, we had more co- operation from the State Department and the administration than we have had for some time. Officials came up and discussed with members of the For- eign Affairs Committee the problems that needed attention in this extension, and asked for suggestions as to how best they might be solved. We gave our sug- gestions and asked that they prepare a draft bill incorporating their suggestions and ours, and agreed that the committee would then consider that draft. That was done. When, therefore, the bill we now have before us, S. 3809, finally came before our committee it already con- tained a number of suggestions made by our committee to the administration officials and their staff that had been in- corporated before it was filed in the Senate. Included was the floor amend- ment on “fair value” offered by Senator Tart which represented the House committee views on this question. Thus we had a very short horse to curry. When this bill came before our commit- tee, we could act cn it promptly and without amendment; and we are not recommending any amendments here. In the third place, another circum- stance that perhaps made consideration easier was that the Korean aggression had changed things. I want to refer to that a little later. It has become per- fectly clear that probably more money is going to be needed both for our own defenses and for mutual defense in the near future. In reviewing this with the State Department and the Armed Forces officials yesterday morning in our com- mittee, however, they did not make any recommendation for increases in any part of this bill, but urged only that it be promptly considered and adopted in its present form. I want to point out three things we ought to bear in mind as we consider this First, this is a Mutual Defense Assist- ance Act, As the great leader among the free nations we adopted in this act last year the policy of furnishing military assistance to other free nations “based upon the principle of continuous and effective self-help and mutual aid * * * for individual and collective self-de- fense.” Based upon performance up to date the Soviets have done better in arming aggressors than we have in arm- ing defenders of the free—witness Korea. We have found out that when aggression comes, if the free people are not armed and are not ready to take their own part in mutual action in their own defense, the burden falls where? It falls squarely on the United States, Thus one of the lessons the tragic events of the past few weeks has made clear is that we on the side of the free must be- come more effective in mutual defcase CONGRESSIONAL RECORD—HOUSE than the forces of communism are in the policy and practice of mutual aggression, Second, and most significant, both the United States and the United Nations have looked through form to substance in this Korean aggression; they do not pretend that it isa mere civil war. That was the pretext used for doing nothing in China. Events in Israel, in Palestine, and in India in recent years have been recognized as having had the elements of civil struggle in which other govern- ments should not intervene; but in Korea right after June 24, it was crystal clear that this was barefaced, inexcus- able, premeditated aggression. Aggres- sion by whom? By the 9,000,000 North Koreans against their southern neigh- bors, more than double their numbers? We look through form to the substance; we all recognize where the aggression is coming from. Nations larger than Korea have had bloody civil wars in re- cent years, without United Nations in- tervention. In spite of the diplomatic words used in United Nations resolutions and our official statements, 52 nations realize this is different. That realiza- tion is going to require some further thinking, and planning, and acting in the future. Third, at last we have got a far east- ern policy of sorts. We arrived at it the hard way, but we have got it, if we do not lose it. I want to make a brief review of some of the events leading up to the situation in Korea. Korea was recognized by the United States as independent on January 1, 1949, Korea was peculiarly the child of the United Nations, and peculiarly the child of the three great nations, the United States, China, and Britain, who joined in the Cairo declaration in 1943, then ratified the Cairo declaration at Potsdam in 1945, and peculiarly the child of the Soviet Union that ratified the Cairo and Potsdam declaration in its tardy declara~ tion of war against Japan. But up to June 30, 1949, our Army furnished Korea’s defense and our GARIOA funds—for Government and Relief in Occupied Areas—bolstered their econ- omy. These funds lapsed on June 30, 1949, and at the same time our troops withdrew under the United Nations reso- lution for withdrawal. From then on until June 27, 1950, the administration’s amazing policies, state. ments, actions, and inactions can only be understood if we realize that up to June 24, 1950, they were following in Korea the Lattimore line, cynical, cowardly, and disastrous, but logical, once you grant his premises on Russia and China. Here is what Lattimore recommended on July 17, 1949, in the Sunday Compass, successor to PM: The thing to do, therefore, is to let South Korea fall, but not let it look as though we pushed it. Hence, the recommendation of a parting grant of $160,000,000, The Korean aid bill (H. R. 5830) that was before our committee at that time was for $150,000,000. Here is what Lattimore recommended in his memorandum to Jessup in the JULY 18 State Department on far eastern policy in August 1949; South Korea is more of a liability than an asset to the interests and policy of the United States, After urging no delay in establishing relations with Communist China, Latti- more wound up by recommending: The United States should disembarrass itself as quickly as possible of its entangle. ments in South Korea. So the administration followed the Lattimore line. Although they had known for 6 months what was ahead, it was not until June 8, 1949, that they brought in H. R. 5330, a bill authorizing permanent economic aid to Korea, with $150,000,000 for the first year and $385,- 000,000 for the first 3 years, It had to pass, and appropriations implementing it by June 30, or there would be a gap. They knew this could not be done, they did not try to hurry the bill. Our committee learned in executive session the things everyone knows now, that Korea could not defend itself against a Communist attack, that it was not part of our security perimeter, that there was no commitment or promise to support Korea. We also learned of the dust-settling policy for China that was later developed publicly by Secretary Acheson. The bill came out of committee. I appeared before the Rules Committee with a group of my colleagues and urged that no rule be granted. I said: If this bill comes to the floor, it will be defeated, but in order to explain it, some things must be said that will hurt Korea yon the prestige of the United States in a. I asked for an executive session of the Rules Committee and got it,- and explained what we had learned. The Rules Committee held up the bill until September 27, and the House lead- ership never let the bill come to the floor until January 19, 1950. On that day, as I had predicted, this $385,000,000 eco- nomic plan was defeated. During the debate on January 19 I said on this floor “It may be that in the future as we develop a new policy—Korea will receive aid under some mutual-aid plan, some far eastern plan that makes sense. I hope that day will come. But in the present state of our policy, or lack of policy, we should not vote money down the Korean rat hole that will not save them militarily, that we will not add to our military security-—that will not solve their economic problem.” Then a Senate bill on Korea, 8. 2319, was taken up in our committee. Every word of it was stricken out, including its title, and it was brought to the floor on February 7, 1950, labeled “The Far East- ern Economic Assistance Act of 1950,” and extended economic aid to both Korea and Formosa until June 30, 1950. I supported this bill because it kept Formosa going, by extending the China Aid Act of 1948 and with the hope we would arrive at a policy before the bill ran out on June 30, 1950. We arrived at that policy on June 27, 1950.
1950 I said on February 7, during debate on this bill: . This {8 a stopgap measure * * © ft only runs for less than 6 months. © * * It is not strictly rat-hole money—in fact, it is not much of anything, but ft seems to be the beat we can do at this time toward get- ting this administration to make a stand against Communist aggression in the Far East. * * * I hope a real plan is de- veloped by next June. At best this is a stopgap. At least it is a continuation of the bipartisan congressional policy for the Far East, At least it means Congress is not retreating in Asta. That bill was passed on February 9, 1950, and became Public Law 447. Not 1 cent authorized by this bill ever got to Korea before the attack on June 24, 1950. The money authorized was ap- propriated in Public, No. 533, a de- ficlency bill, which did not become law until June 29, 1950. There was $100,000,000 authorized for economic aid to Korea in the Foreign Assistance Act and $94,000,000 for China, including Formosa, and south- east Asia. None of this was available by June 24, the time the attack came. Korea got along on some stopgap appro- priations made last summer and fall. Meanwhile, military aid for Korea was included in the MDAP bill which passed the House on August 19, 1949. But it was obvious that $27,400,000 for Korea, the Philippines, and Iran was not enough to defend them against a real attack. The Lodge-Walter amendment providing $100,000,000 military aid and up to 500 officers and men to China and southeast Asia was defeated on a teller vote August 18 by 94 ayes and 164 nays. The best that could be done was $75,- 000,000 for the general area of China in the conference report September 28. Once more, it was impossible to get Into the law over administration oppo- sition, any direct military aid to China, any positive policy of resisting the spread of communsm in Asia. Now for some reason or other, infor- mation as to the amount programed for Korea under MDAP and the amount that got there is still secret. Obviously, It is no longer a military secret, How- ever, I will observe that secrecy and put it this way. No one is now claiming that one dime’s worth of the weapons or ammunitions programed under the Korean section of MDAP ever got there before the attack on June 24, 1950. Now there is going to be political weeping and walling and gnashing of teeth about the votes on these Korean- aid bilis, military and economic, for a long time, but amid the charges, hokum, insinuations, and les, a few simple facts should be kept clear in Congress and in the public mind: None of the economic aid involved in these controversial bills ever got to Ko- rea before the attack; none of the mili- tary aid is claimed to have gotten there; no responsible witness before any com- mittee ever claimed that the economic aid or the military sid requested would prevent an attack, or turn back a full- fledged Communist attack, if it did get there. CONGRESSIONAL RECORD—HOUSE A number of Members of Congress were willing to vote for something for Korea anyhow; a number like myself were will- ing to vote for something for Korea whenever we could commit the admin- istration to do something for Formosa at the same time, with the hope that we could hold the line until we got some sort of policy in the Far East; a number of others took a dim view of all military assistance so long as it did not provide any real plan for the Far East; but the administration, with millions authorized by a majority in Congress, followed the Lattimore line until the attack on South Korea, of June 24, 1950. Our military intelligence can be criticized for not an- ticipating this attack; our diplomatic unintelligence from Yalta on, set the stage for a successful attack. Then, in 48 hours, a revolutionary change came in our whole far eastern policy. We sought United Nations action on Korea, for Korea was not in our se- curity perimeter; it was everybody's business, an international police prob- lem; the paisied United Nations came to life and responded magnificently, and acted promptly. The President at last stood firm on Formosa, and the Philip- pines and Indochina, and the country was united. It took all of this to unite our country. It will take all of it to keep us united. There are faint-hearted souls . here and in the United Nations who do not yet see that Korea and Formosa are both United Nations problems. We must lead in making them realize that the same kind of appeasement brings the same kind of aggression everywhere, and that the forces of the free must stay united to resist aggression anywhere. The international posse that is gathering to stop aggression in Korea must hold together to meet and stop and turn back Communist aggression wherever it starts; if necessary, at the place where it is plotted and planned. This is right, and we must have faith that right makes might. I realize the free people are deficient in arms right now. We probably have the advantage in atomic weapons, but we hate to use them. We will probably have to provide more money for our mutual defense than is authorized by this bill, and take that action soon. By our action today, how- ever, we will show the world that we are united in mutual defense assistance; not behind the President, not against the President, but shoulder to shoulder with the United Nations of the free. As I look through the fog of war over Korea I become discouraged, and I am terrified and I shudder at the possibili- ties for suffering and degradation and despair that He ahead of us if we fail; and then I see the free people of the world getting together some way or other with just one clear determination, that we are going to stop this thing and we are going to revive and maintain peace on earth among men of good will; I see white and colored fighting shoulder to shoulder in & common cause, and more coming, as policemen for a united free world and I see the glory of it if we do not fail; not glory for our side, but a greater glory. I wonder if you see it. -I wonder if you ever feel as I do as you 10531 look through the fog of war over Korea and st what is happening there and all over the world. I feel Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord; He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored; He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible, swift sword; His truth is marching on. Mr. KEE. Mr. Chairman, I yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from Indiana [Mr. Notanp]. Mr. NOLAND. Mr. Chairman, I rise briefly just to make a short statement at this time. I think the gentleman from Ohio [Mr. Vorys] should be commend- ed for the inspirational note which he set in the closing paragraph of his speech. However, I hardly expected to sit here on the floor today and hear such a white- wash of the record of opposition which some of our friends on the other side of the aisle have had to the entire inter- national program which has been put forth by President Truman and our ad- ministration. I think that at this time it would not be a matter of partisanship if we stopped to actually look at the record and go back to the time when Greece and Turkey were threatened and President Truman, with great courage, announced the Tru- man Doctrine. I will say he had pretty strong bipartisan support for that. Then the President went ahead and, with a fine Secretary of State, proposed the Marshall plan. I think we should give credit for strong bipartisan support at that point. But only to some of the members of the administration was given the foresight to see the terrible conflict and struggle which lies before this Nation of ours, When the mutual defense assistance pro- gram was announced only a year ago, we could begin to see a defection in bipar- tisanship from the opposition which came about at that time. Even at the time of the explosion of the atomic bomb in Russia many of our friends did not have the farsightedness to join with President Truman and the administra- tion in supporting and passing the be- ginning of the mutual defense assistance program, The vote in the Senate in recent weeks has shown just how strongly Members of that body are rallying to the defense of President Truman and the adminis- tration by the passage of this legislation by a vote of 66 to 0. I think if there is one thing the Korean situation emphasizes today it is that our military assistance program in Hurope and throughout the world is not nearly extensive enough. It is estimated that this crisis in Korea will run in the neigh- borhood of $5,000,000,000. Today we are considering a bill for $1,222,000,000 to carry on @ program in Europe involving @ dozen or so member nations. I have a little editorial here which appeared in one of the Scripps-Howard papera several months ago. One para- graph of this editorial says: Russia will spend more than $45,000,000,- 000 on her armed forces this year, United Btates intelligence sources say.
10532 That exceeds our entire Federal budg- et for the current fiscal year. We are spending $13,000,000,000 or 32 percent of our budget for national defense. In any comparison between the two programs, however, it must be borne in mind that 25 percent of our military budget is pay- roll, and Russia's salary scales, on the other hand, are very puny by compari- son. This certainly illustrates the great dis- parity of defense expenditures by the freedom-loving nations as contrasted to the nations behind the iron curtain. You know it is facetiously said that the Congress of the United States is about 2 years behind the people. Well, my fellow colleagues, this is one time in the history of the world that Congress cannot afford to be 2 years behind the people. When I was home for a special July Fourth celebration, talking to the man on the street and the people in drug stores and in the barber shops, this thought was given to me, that 90 percent of the people of America realize the seriousness of this international conflict which is going on. They are willing to make the sacrifices that are going to be necessary in the years ahead. If there is one thing that we Members of Congress should do, as we go out in these coming months, it is to be honest with the people of America and to tell them not only that this con- flict has been long in the making and has been building up for years, but that the solution of the peace and security of the world is likely to be a problem which will be with us many, many years, and that we here in the Congress may be struggling and fighting for peace for a Jong time. Mr. Chairman, I strongly favor the passage of the mutual defense assistance program which calls for an appropriation of $1,222,500,000 for 1950. This legisla- tion is most important at this time in the history of this Nation—in the history of the world. In ancient fables there is a story which demonstrates the strength of unity. Two men were gathering sticks in a forest. One tied them into a bundle and wa- gered that his companion could not break it in two. Try as hard as he might, the man could not break the bundle of sticks. He turned to his friend after the attempt and stated that it was too strong for either of them to break. The other man immediately untied the bundle of sticks and proceeded to break them one by one. The principle of strength in unity has been demonstrated in history since time immemorial. As 13 separate States, the American Colonies could never have sur- vived to grow into this great Nation of ours. But in the Federal Union under a Constitution we have grown into the greatest Nation in the world. Today we are discussing the contin- uance of the military assistance pro- gram or the arms aid bill. The recent aggression of North Korea against South Korea makes extremely clear to everyone the Soviet intent of world domination, If there was ever any doubt in any of our minds as to this ultimate intent, it should be removed by this most recent act which has been CONGRESSIONAL RECORD—HOUSE perpetrated by the planning of the Krem- Even prior to this act of totalitarian aggression, the whole pattern of Soviet activity has demonstrated that there is no let-up in the intensity of the Com- munist pressure. As long ago as September 1949, the atomic explosion in Russia made it pain- fully clear that the Kremlin was pursu- ing its plan with utmost determination, Even with this terrible warning, many Members of both Houses of Congress failed to realize the communistic threat in the world and voted against the first arms aid bill which was the beginning step in building up the defenses of the freedom-loving countries of the world. Also, recently the destruction of an unarmed United States plane over the Baltic demonstrated the contempt of these forces for other nations of the world. For many months under the guise of a police force, Russia has been building up large armed forces in eastern Ger- many. Other satellite nations behind ihe iron curtain are armed to full capac- Throughout the world Communist propaganda has been stepped up to at- tack the United States as a warmonger- ing nation, while Russia has been contin- uing her program of aggression. She has at the same time sponsored through Communist effort peace petitions and resolutions such as the Stockholm reso- lution calling for the abolition of the atomic bomb. Qnce world public opin- ion should be mobilized against the use of atomic bombs, even to stop ageres- sor nations, the great armed might of the Soviet Union could be used without fear of retribution. There have also been attempts on the part of the Communists in France to provoke strikes to prevent the delivery and unloading of mutual defense assist- ance equipment in the form of arms and matériel. Surely no more evidence than we now have is needed to make it plain to all of the democratic nations of the world the ultimate intent of the forces directed by the Kremlin. President Truman and his adminis- tration are to be commended for a far- sighted program in meeting this threat to the peace of the world. This plan has been placed into effect with the bipar- tisan support of certain Members pos- sessed of foresight in both Houses of Congress, and it will work to weld the freedom-loving nations of the world to- gether in a common opposition to the Communist program of totalitarian en- slavement. For more than 2 years now the United States has had an economic program through the Marshall plan to build up ‘war-ravaged Europe and to prevent the conquest of western European democra- cles by the forces of communism. This has been an extremely effective program, and it is generally conceded that it has done much to prevent the spread of this totalitarian ideology. On the military front, we have gone ahead with the North Atlantic Pact which set forth that it is the determina. tion of the signing parties to defend their JULY 18 territories and their democratic institu- tions against those who would seek to destroy them. It makes plain that an armed attack against any one member is to be considered an attack against all members. It also provides in the event of such an attack that there shall be col- lective resistance to the utmost by all other partners to the pact. To supplement the North Atlantic Treaty, and to coordinate the efforts of the members of the North Atlantic Pact, the mutual defense assistance pro- gram was devised. During its first year, it was successful, and it has started democratic nations of Europe on a pro- gram of defense and rearmament. By coordination of the work on the economic front and the program on the military front, our country has been able to make great accomplishment on the political front. In the final analysis, if we are to achieve victory, the battle for men’s minds is more important than the battle for territorial conquest. Through this program of mutual defense assist ance, it has been possible to help strengthen the economic and moral fiber of freemen in Europe and thrceughout the world. The mutual defense assistance pro- gram has already resulted in concrete achievement. Through this program of building up the defenses of Europe, a basis has been formed for general co- operation in peace to help solve mutual problems. It has brought about a meet- ing together of the representatives of many nations, a discussion of common problems, and a determination of solu- tions and a plan of action to meet these problems. For instance, one of the results of this entire program of cooperation has been the establishment of a European Pay~ ments Union which should do much to improve the economic welfare of the member nations. The program which I have just out- lined is largely responsible for the his- toric proposal of Foreign Minister Schu- man to pool the steel and coal produc- tion of western Europe under joint direc- tion of member nations. He has also invited Germany to come in on an equal basis with other member nations. This proposal still remains to be worked out. However, the fact that the offer was made by France, a nation three times at war with Germany in the last hundred years, is indeed a tremendous accom- plishment in world cooperation. The military defense assistance pro- gram is under way, and the formulation of an integrated defense plan is at hand. An integrated defense plan means not only greater strength, but more defense per dollar expended. The’ stronger the Atlantic Pact nations become, the lighter is the defense burden on the United States. It is not contemplated to build up a fighting force to match the Soviet, division for division, but it is planned ‘ to set up a fighting force with equipment of modern weapons and modern ma- tériel which is so important in warfare today, This program of opposition to the forces of communism has given Marshal Tito and Yugoslavia the courage to make the first crack in the iron curtain. It
1950 das given him the courage to work inde. pendently for what he considers the wel- fare of his Communist country without complete subordination to the masters of the Kremlin. Even though we deplore communism, this is very desirable from our standpoint. One of the greatest accomplishments of the mutual defense assistance pro- gram is that it has encouraged the Kuro- pean nations to help themseives. As in- dividual nations, the leaders of these: countries realized that it was useless to embark upon a program of full-scale preparedness which would exhaust the country economically. Therefore, there was a tendency to forget about prepared- ness completely. With the North Atlan- tic Treaty and mutual defense assistance program, these member nations are, for the most part, spending a greater amount for national defense than they would otherwise. By coordination of these ex- penditures, a program of integrated de- fense planning is being accomplished, with each nation concentrating on that military production which it is best able to perform. Without the leadership of the United States, this whole program could not have come to pass. The question in my mind today is whether we are doing enough in the way of an arms-aid plan. With the current fighting in Korea esti- mated to cost about $5,000,000,000, it makes painfully evident to the average layman what a really small amount we are now investing in the future defense and preparedness of the demo- cratic nations of Europe, Indo-china, Greece, Turkey, Philippines, and Iran. It is my opinion that this program should be doubled or tripled at this time to meet the opposition of the Kremlin which lies phead. As one high governmental official put it in testimony before the Senate com- mittee, “only by forceful, concerted ac- tion along the lines which have been ini- tiated can the countries which practice democracy preserve democracy.” The long-range objective of the entire program of economic assistance and arms assistance is peace and not war. The best way to obtain this peace is by a show of strength and unity which is un- compromising in its magnitude. The strength of Europe through development of this program will be one of the de- terrents to war. The history of the past tions concerned. tng of goods and services for the peoples of these countries, Until Rusela believes that she has a pr of manu- ‘CONGRESSIONAL RECORD—HOUSE This fact demonstrates also our need for unity in our opposition to the forces of communism.. Since the institution of the Marshadl plan, industrial production in Europe has increased about 35 percent above the prewar average. Agricultural production will soon exceed the prewar levels, and in nearly every nation infia- tion is under control. These are achievements which the Soviet Union cannot match. The way to peace and security is not an easy one. It will un- doubtedly require sacrifices from all of us, from the men and women of America and the people of the other freedom- loving nations of the world. There is no alternative. The sacrifice necessary to obtain this peace and security is worth it to all of us. This conflict between the forces of democracy and the forces of totalitarian- ism has been long in the making and the solution may be nearly as long. It is hard to estimate what lies ahead, but I have faith that the people of this Na- tion and other nations have the courage, the will, and the tenacity to win out in the long-run battle for peace. Mr. KEE. Mr. Chairman, I yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Kruse). Mr. KRUSE. Mr. Chairman, I am very glad to have a few moments to ex- press my feelings in regard to this legis- lation and in regard to the world situa- tion generally. I need hardly state that I join strongly with the overwhelming majority of the Members of the House in support of the extension of the military-defense assist- ance program. ‘There is one phase of the over-all world situation today which causes me grave concern. It is quite obvious that the Soviet Union is attempt- ing to hold itself up at this time as the true respecter and advocate of peace, There has been submitted through dip- lomatic channels a proposal for ending the Korean crisis. I do not at this mo- ment know the exact details of the pro- posal which has been submitted. I am advised, however, that, among other things, the following two conditions are set forth as conditions precedent to a peaceful settlement of the Korean con- flict: First, admission of Communist China to the United Nations; and second, withdrawal of American and United Na- tions forces from Korea. I have every faith that those condi- tions are going to be rejected, but I would like to sound a cautious note at this time for those who might in the future be misled and fooled by such interna- tional chicanery and blackmail. Let us not forget that the avowed purpose of international communism is the achieve. world over ever capitulate to such nefa- rious and ill-conceived proposals as are proposed at this time, I say unhesitat- ingly that that day will go down as the most infamous, the most tragic day in their owa pursuits, to raise their families and to live decent lives. We seek an honorable peace and not one that must be purchased through loss of our char- acter and loss of our freedom. The admission of Communist China to the United Nations would for ail prac- ticable purposes prove to be a long step toward slavery and toward rendering the United Nations impotent. It would in addition signal to the international Com- munists that the door was now open for conquest of the entire Far East. ‘There is no question in my mind but what we will continue to stand fast, and there is galso no question in my mind but what truth and justice shall ultimately prevail. I am now far more convinced than I was a week ago that people throughout America and free men throughout the world are strongly united and recog- nize the grave peril to our civilization. I personally feel as a citizen, as a legis- lator and as a veteran that America and our civilization today is in the greatest peril in its history. We cannot under- estimate the danger. Last week a young and distinguished colleague of ours, the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Benrsen], who had a mag- nificent record in this last war, stood on the floor and advocated the use of the atomic bomb. It shocked some people, but Lroyp BenTsEN tells me that his mail has been running about 10 to 1 in favor of his proposal. I can well understand, on certain grounds related to the mili- tary phase of the problem such as the terrain, dispersal of treops and the like, that there might truly be a question whether the bomb should be used; but I cannot forget, as one who experienced combat in the last war, that it matters little whether you are being bombed, shelied or attacked by other weapons of warfare, Americans today are not only being killed in combat on the battlefields at Korea; they are being butchered and murdered in cold blood. I havea strong tendency to go along with the gentle- man from Texas (Mr. Bentsen] and his proposal, if such is necessary to save civilization at this time. Free men had better stand together at this moment and forget politics as usual and business as usual and get down to the more im- portant business at hand. This is a time calling for complete unity and for taking all steps necessary to protect free men as against those whom we know seek world domination. I earnestly urge that we take every necessary step in order that we may be prepared in a, military, industrial and psychological sense, I wish to further add that I think we must act as soon as possible to strengthen our laws to handle the un- questioned menace of communism with- in our own borders. Were it not for thoee who down through the ages have been willing to fight and die for their fellowman, we would not have a nation wherein we could worry about business, economy and politics as usual. Our sacrifice is - as nothing compared to those who carry - ‘the burden at this time. We can and we must meet the challenge.
10534 Mr, VORYS, Mr. Chairman, Iyleld 10 minutes to the gentlewoman from Ohio (Mrs, Botton]. Mrs. BOLTON .of Ohio. Mr. Chaitr- man, before I go into the subject mattcr that I am to cover, I want to express my appreciation of this Committee on For- eign Affairs, upon which I have served for 9 years. We stand together as good Americans. Yes, we argue, and wv should, but we work together. We have a thoughtful, careful, meticulous, and splendid chairman. We have a very un< usually fine ranking member of the mi- nority, who for 2 years served as chair- man. We have a membership of thoughtful and experienced people. Herren Dovewas is leaving us, and I would like to say a little personal word, He.en, for in one way, I wish you luck; in another which you readily understand I must wish you ill. But I am happy to know you as I have known you. For a little while I shall be the only woman on the committee. Let me say here that on this truly wonderful com- mittee no differences are made. We work as a group, we work as individ- uals, we disagree as individuals, but we have come to you with this bill without a dissenting voice. We have had long hearings, and we have spent much time . on the measures involved and on the problems involved. Iam not going to dicuss the details of the bill at all; others will give them to you but I want to talk for a few minutes about the causes, about the reasons why we have to have such a bill. I have not been able to escape the conviction that my 2 years as chairman cf the Subcom- mittee on National and International Movements gives me the obligation to speak of these matters as we present to this House S. 3809, amendments to the 1949 Mutual Defense Assistance Act. Why has it been necessary for us to re- create military strength to protect the road to peace? For peace is the ultimate goal toward which we are striving. The subcommittee to which I referred a mo- ment ago was responsible for a piece of work which has become the textbook on world communism. You have all had copies of it. I hold it up that you may see what it looks like. The Senate com- mittee sent copies to you in 1948; some of you have had other copies since then. It is called the Strategy and Tactics of ‘World Communism and is House Docu- ment No. 619. In this original volume there are several supplements, one of which is called One Hundred Years of Communism. Another is Official Pro- tests of the U. S., and Various Other Documents. Three other supplements, one on Czechoslovakia, one on the Near East, one on China. This last is prob- ably the most accurate document on the methods of the Communist take-over of China, Why do I bring this up? Because I want to make it very clear not only to the Congress but also to the people of this country that there has been an aware- ness in this body of the goals set by the Communists, that there has been an alertness. Granted, we have had to struggle against rather heavy odds some- times to make ourselves heard, CONGRESSIONAL RECORD—HOUSE On page 4 of this book printed in 1948, The Goals of Communism, you will find the following: 1. The Communists have one goal—world revolution. 2. They assume that the revolution wiil be violent. 8. They are incapable of accepting the idea that peace can endure from now on, and they expect one more catastrophic war. 4. The Soviet Union is regarded as the main force of the revolution. 5. They fear a coalition against the Soviet Union. 6. They therefore fear reconstruction or federation in the non-Communist world. 7. They utilize the most modern and effec- tive means of cold warfare to strengthen their own forces and to weaken all others. 8 The Communist Parties outside the Soviet Union are junior partners or auxil- faries. 9. The tactics are based upon a definite theory, and the central propositions of that theory do not change. 10. The division of Europe and Asia be- tween the victors of World War II is to be settled by power politics and not by negotiation. Mr. Chairman, as I have read through these 10 goals, I hope you will see clearly why Communists everywhere have done some of the things they have done. Every act of theirs is definitely toward their one goal. They fear a coalition, therefore they have pronounced them- selves a8 against everything we have been trying to do in Europe to strengthen Europe. On the same basis they would fear a federation in the Pacific. They fear the action of the United Nations be- cause it draws together and emphasizes the power of the free nations of the world. We have had difficulty, of course, to get our people and our Government to recognize the seriousness, the actuality of the Communist determination to take over all the peoples of the earth. We have forgotten that 100 years ago Marx and Engles lived and propounded a doctrine of world revolution and world control. We have forgotten that 80 years ago Communists took over Paris for a few months. We seem to have forgotten that there was a bloody revolution in Russia itself. We certainly should not forget. We do not read what they have written nor what they have spoken vividly and widely. They have told us everything they expect to do. Mr. Chairman, you will find in this volume, this subcommittee report, quo- tations from many Communist writings and speeches, You will find suggestions as to where you can find the whole text, because we were very aware as we were working at this that it is always danger- ous to lift out small portions of any text. So we have given very clearly the sources and suggest that the libraries of this country have these documents in which you will find the full texts. Based on the knowledge we had at hand there is no excuse for us, as a Na- tion to do what we have done and what we have failed to do except that we per- mited ourselves to become confused by the changes in their tactics, by our in- ability to follow their advances and seeming retreats, JULY 18 The CHAIRMAN. The time of the gorntlewoman has expired. Mr. VORYS. Mr. Chairman, I yield the gentlewoman from Ohio five addi- tional minutes. Mrs. BOLTON of Ohio. Mr. Chair- man, one of the very interesting mono- graphs of Mr. Lenin is on the impor- tance of learning when and how to retreat. But when they retreated we thought. “Why, it is all wrong what we have been thinking about these fellows. They are really very nice people. They ‘ are going to be free people like ourselves, They are going to build up the free satel- lite countries.” Unfortunately we were so beclouded that we not only permitted them to take over one border country after another, but we assisted them. We gave them territories; we gave them power. One of the greatest friends we ever had was the eternal, inexhaustible, won- derful country of China that we gave into Communist hands. We forget that these Communists are Asiatics, too, and that they understand the Chinese mind. They knew that if they were to put their own people into China they could not get an inch of the way. So, they took many Chinese to Moscow, into their oriental school of communism, and trained them and sent them back. Mao-Tze-tung is a very good example of this kind of teaching. Thou- sands of them were so taught and sent back long ago, and do you think for one moment that they have not taken many Indochinese, Burmese, and every other kind of oriental people and are not at this moment deploying them out into these other arcas? Unfortunately very few Americans know the differences be- tween them. We think of them as being friends and brothers, imagine all kinds of things about them all. Not so the Rus- sians; not so the Communists; they know. And remember that the Russian people are controlled by a small group of the police state determfhed upon the com- plete control of the World. At this point, Mr. Chairman, I feel I must express myself in relation to the suggestion made by our colleague from Texas the other day, which was com- mented on again a few moments ago, the suggestion that we say to the North Koreans. “Go back behind the thirty- eighth parallel or we will use the atomic bomb.” Mr, Chairman and Members of this House, it seemed impossible to me that such a thing could be suggested at this time. For what purpose? To kill a lot of Koreans just because they are Communists? Would that stop the war? Do we know where the tanks and the guns and the airplanes are being manu- factured? Do we not know that they do know where ours are being manufac- tured, and that one atomic bomb dropped by the United States of America would open us to atomic bombing? But, more than that, it would prove to the oriental mind the validity of the propaganda that has been poured out upon them by the Communists that we really are against Asia, Under no conditions must we do any one single thing that will give the people of Asia the right to feel that de- struotion is to be our purpose, when our
