the effort we are making, and it is |
available not only for our use but
for the use of other nations and is
getting results.
Mr. ROGERS of Florida. With
out the cooperation of this move
ment does the gentleman believe
we could make as much success in
Europe as we could by dollar aid
alone?
Mr. PRESTON. I am inclined to
agree with the gentlemen for this
reason: They have specifically di
rected their efforts in Europe to
the field of labor relations, and
they have been able to take away
from the Communist Party two
dozen Communist officials in par
ty cells. It is an established fact.
The Washington Post carried a
story day before yesterday to that
effect, and I learned of that while
I was over there. They are actua
ally working objectively and are
accomplishing much good. . . .
Mr. DONDERO. I think it might
be well to point out that while we
were there we were permitted to
talk with former Communist lead
ers who had changed their view
point entirely, who were cooper
ating with this movement in the
hope of bringing peace to this sad
and tear-drenched world.
Mr. PRESTON. Indeed we were.
I recall one member, a man who
had been a member for 20 years,
had changed his philosophy en
tirely as a result of the efforts of
Moral Re-Armament.
