228 to permit the entry of 500 children
under 6 years of age, adopted by United
States citizens while serving abroad in
the Armed Forces of the United States,

ment thereto, and concur in the Senate
amendment.
The Clerk read the title of the House
joint resolution.
Thg, Clerk read the Senate amend-
mellt, as follows:
Strike out all after the resolving clause and
insert "That not to exceed 500 special non-
quota immigrant visas may be issued, subject
to all provisions of the Immigration and Na-
tionality Act, to eligible orphans as defined
in this act who are under 10 years of age at
the time the visa application is filed and
such eligible orphans may be admitted into
the United States for permanent residence:
Provided, That the issuance of visas under
this act shall terminate not later than De-
cember 31, 1954..
'SEc. 2. When used in this act the term
_'eligible orphan' shall mean an alien child
(1) who has suffered the death or disappear-
ance of, or abandonment or desertion by, or
separation or loss from, both parents, or who
has only one parent due to the death or
disappearance of, abandonment or desertion
by, or separation or loss from the other
parent and the remaining parent is incapable
of providing care for such child and has in
writing irrevocably released him for emigra-
tion and adoption; (2) (a) who has been
lawfully adopted abroad by a United States

tion on behalf of such child is made, have
been given by a United States citizen and

ernment, that if such a child is' admitted
into the United States such citizen and
spouse will legally adopt him In the United
States and Will care fbr him properly; and
(3) who is ineligible for admission Into the

ence portion of the quota to which he would
otherwise be chargeable is oversubscribed by
applicants registered on the consular wait-
ing list at the time his visa application is
made.
"SEC. 3. No natural parent of any eligible
orphan who shall be admitted into the United

ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATIONS FOR
THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICUL-
TURE. 1954
Mr. H. CARL ANDRESEN. Mr.
Speaker, I move to strike out the last-
word.
Mr. Speaker, we have before us a
House joint resolution making available
$130 million additional funds for the
disaster-loan revolving fund and an ad-
ditional $20 million in loan funds for
the Farmers Home Administration regu-
lar program. The subcommittee on ap-
propriations for agriculture felt that the
disaster down through the Southwest is
such that action upon this is justified
and that we should attempt to push this
through as soon as possible.
Mr. Speaker, without the asslstgnce
given to the livestock industry in the
special livestock-loan section of this bill,
we might have reverberations all the
way through America driving down the
price of livestock and in general doing
no good whatsoever to the economy.
I will explain briefly the various sec-
tions of the bill.
In the first general section of the bill
we have made available $30 million addi-
tional for the disaster-loan revolving
fund under the heading of what is
termed "economic-disaster loans." The
Committee on Appropriations has de-
July 24
cided that this part 1'Ar section should
be administe, ed -ter the regular
Farmers Home AL'r..nistration setup.
This particula: $30 a Ilion in loans, be-
cause of the f.n:ct to ,t they are in a dis-
aster area as prod i led by the Presi-
dent, will undoubte `!; have an interest
rate of 3 percent on While that is not
in the bill, we have .a3 testimony to the
effect that the Sec, t =?y of Agriculture
intends to set an it a est rate of 3 per-
cent upon these pa i'cular loans.
In this particulo section the small
fellow is taken can cf. If there isany-- -
one thing we have t?led to do in this
bill, Mr. Speaker, it s to make sure that
the little man can , .!t benefits from this
as well as the big pr ?cucer.
Mr. GROSS. 141 Speaker, will the
gentleman yield?
Mr. H. CARL AN >i RSEN. I yield to
the gentleman fror. , owa.
Mr. GROS'. I it=tight there was a
5-percent interest i - t~ on disaster loans
to Texans?
Mr. H. CARL A. 131RSEN. I will go
into that shortly, P.. jL. GROSS.
The next acetic := of the bill, Mr.
Speaker, has to d , 'ith what we call
the special livestock o-tns. Here is where
you have loads foi 2 or 3 years' dura-.
tion. These c rry 5 j,rcent interest and
these, unlike the n vious section, are
available anywhere i the United States
to enable pyeoders o; livestock to hold
on to their cattle !1 itil the propitious
moment comes to a 11 them.
Mind you, they i lust first exhaust all
other avenues of c .-nit, but it does give
to the livestock me! c" America, with the
exception of the cs producers-they
are not considered ,tre-access to these
loans at 5 percent interest for a 2- or
3-year period. R -ember, this par-
ticular section is al o icable to any place
in the United. Stat -s of America. It is
not just allocated ,c the disaster area
.as is the $30 million additional loan fund
put in here in the u ?evious section ad-
ministered by the -am Home Loan As-
sociation.
I want to call ti -your attention, Mr.
speaker, that. in t !b- particular section
the Subcommittee r i Agricultural Ap-
propriations was i ;-scent upon remov-
Ing the minimum, f 12,500. As you will
see in our report, . e said:
Removal of he m'ni.num loan limitation
of $2,500 for loans n.ler section 2 (c) of
the act with respea o the? funds in this
bill is proposed. Tl e- ,ommittee feels that
denial of loan:; of i :.a: than $2,500 outside
of disaster areas wi ? work a severe hard-
ship on small farme aid ranchers in such
localities. Such per. -113 may suffer disaster
and have as much n -Si ?for a loan of $2,499
or less than those 1c aced within a disaster
area.
The SPEAKER. I ie time of the gen-
tleman from Minn a to has expired.
(Mr. H. CARL A-}I'ERSEN asked and
was given permisc .-;.i to proceed for 5
additional minute I
Mr. H. CARL A14 Y-IRSEN. Now, were
it not for this par; .; bar provision there
would be na 3ny i justices perpetrated
under this bill.
Mr. GROSS. M .:,pecker, if the gen-
tleman will yield, v i, are hog producers

tleman has just sit t ~d?

"You have mentioned among the members
of the delegation the representative of a ship-
ping line (Messageries maritimes). What is
the standing of this enterprise in China?"
"The members of the nkssion have been
unanimous in defending the French flag.
The risks of international complication ag-
gravated by the American pressures on the
member nations of OUN had caused the
Chinese to desert the French company
temporarily In favor of a Polish shipping line.
Thanks to the preseverance of the French
line and their agent in Shanghai, its posi-
tion has been reestablished today. The
monthly contacts between European ports
hill- Takubar and Shanghai have been re-
newed again. The adoption in the contracts
signed at Peiping of the phrases cost and
freight (c. f.) for French exports and f. o. b.
for Chinese exports leaves to the French sell-
pressions of the Chinese economy?"
"A stay of 3 weeks does not enable me to
pass serious judgment on Chinese economy.
I can say, however, how surprised I was, in
comparison to what I have seen in the
U. S. S. R., to find that the government of
New China had succeeded in making secure
in a coherent system the coexistence of 5
different forms of economy: the State, private
capital, mixed management, the working
classes and the cooperative. According to
the information that I gathered from au-
thorized sources, 60 percent of the light in-
dustry is in the hands of the national bour-
geoise, 70 percentof:thy trading is in private
hands. As for the, agricultural reform, it
is revealed more clearly by the allocation
of the land to the farmers than by
collectivism."
"I am not forgetting that I am speaking
to an ex-president ,of the Advertising Fed-
eration. On this phase of your professional
activities, what stands out in your mind?"
"My ignorance of the Chinese language
did nob permit me to evaluate to the fullest
extent the slogans which appear on the
several large billboards that are found in
Peiping. On the other hand, I was struck by
the method used by the Chinese advertiser
to start campaigns of public interest. The
Chinese, who to the satisfaction of their
accountants, have invented the abacus, wor-
ship figures. That Is why they have wisely
scored two successive campaigns to reform
their economy in favor of the movements of
Sanfan (literally three against) and Woufan
(five against).
"The first is for the purpose of schooling
military officers and the employees of busi-
ness concerns and of government depart-
ments against three-evils: corruption, waste-
fulness and bureaucracy. The second is for
the purpose of educating industrialists and
businessmen against bribery, tax dodging,
misuse of State property, fraud in the execu-
tion of contracts, and the theft of economic
information from government sources.
"Likewise, when the system is put into
operation, if it meets with success, it is
intended to put a stop to a deplorable sani-
tary situation, by the device of 'eight clean-
ings' which will affect the individual, the
house, and the city; the scheme of 'five
destructions' (flies, mosquitoes, fleas, bugs,
and lice) ; and finally the 'sole capture' cam-
paign to exterminate rats. If one believes
the official claims, 44 million rats, 19 billion
insects, and 15 million tons of rubbish will
disappear from Chinese life."
"All in all, Mr. President, were you satis-
fied with your trip?"
"We were all pleased with our trip. Aside
from the eagerness which we noticed that
people had to carry Out gradually the trans-
formation of men and things, we were able
to appreciate the interest which the Chinese
authorities have in the cultural development
of the country and the conservation of the
artistic heritage left to China by the ancient
dynasties. Finally, the fine welcome we
were accorded everywhere, both among eco-
nomic circler, as well as among the students
of the University, made us think that China
and France must find the opportunity to
begin conversations leading to the further-
ance of trade." .
SPECIAL ORDER GRANTED
Mrs. RS of Massachusetts
asked vas given permission to ad-
dre House for 5 minutes today, fo1-

NEED FOR ORDERLY EVALUATION
OF INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES
(Mr. ZABLOCKI asked and was given
permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his re-
marks.)
Mr. ZABT OCKI. Mr. Speaker, yes-
terday I joined my colleague from New
York, Representative EDNA KELLY, in in-
troducing a concurrent resolution which
provides for the creation of a joint com-
mittee on intelligence matters. The
joint committee would consist of 9
members from both bodies of Congress
with no more than 5 members being se-
lected from the same political party.
The activities of the Central Intelli-
gence Agency and related intelligence
services have been handled from a con-
gressional standpoint in a piecemeal
fashion. The importance of these ac-
tivities to the national security demands
at this time the creation of a joint com-
mittee, which will keep the Congress
informed and bring these activities
under responsible scrutiny. The pro-
posed committee would operate in a
manner which has been successfully
adopted by the Joint Committee on
Atomic Energy matters. -
Intelligence has developed as an ac-
tivity of utmost importance since World
War II. The agencies in this field are
entitled to it continuous, constant, and
stable relationship with the Congress.
The membership of the joint committee
on intelligence matters, which would
presumably be drawn from those charged
with responsibility for military and for-
eign-policy matters, would supply this
important link in this crucial area. At
the same time, the joint committee
would save the executive branch's in-
telligence activities from being subjected
to undue interference by a number of
separate congressional committees,
which may consider themselves called
upon to pursue inquiries into their op-
erations. -
I earnestly hope that this concurrent
resolution will receive prompt and fa-
vorable consideration from the Congress
before the contemplated adjournment
early next month.

TURE, 1954
