Mr. SCHOKPPtX. The remarks the. Senator from Louisiana are prlate; such an opportunity should afforded.

Mr. LONG.atter of fact, there la an advantage in the sale of thesecommodities, the receipt ot which pay for overseas bases, instead ofhem in dollars. In many Instances overseas* tend to hoard American and to get the very nest cur-tbey can. There is an old axiom inVsnkine and currency that bad money Rood money out oferson bas good money heo peddle off the money that Is no&cood, which losesalue, anda long period the money knows will be more valuable, and theof the surpluses In tbe man-would prevent boardinc of money paid for defense overseas.

Mr. SCHOKPPEL Mr. President, the Secretary ot Agriculture staled that no additional legislation for the export or farm surpluses was needed at that Ume. The House Agriculture Committee did not act on the bill before adjournment. We now have In5 billion In farm surpluses overhanging the market. This dlftin-guished bodyesponsibility to itsAmericanuse these surpluses constructively.
The news that consldeiatlon Is being given to use surplus foods to pay for bases is the first Indication that Iheis coming to grips with this problem. Yet there is abundantthat large quantities of farmcan be sold abroad for local currencies.
These currencies can be used tothe capacity of our customers to buy more farm products, and thus enable the highest possible level of farmwith the minimum ofcontrol They can be used toour national security, to purchase stockpiles of strategic materials, and for Other constructive purposes whichour national Interest Our farm surplusesapital Investment, of the people of the United States.

COMMUNISM LNMKNACE TO 1IKMISP1IKRIC
Mr. WIIJJY. Mr.hould like to lake the time of the Senateew moments to commentroblem which has long concerned- me In the field of foreign relations.
I refer to the problem of communism In Guatemala.
atter of fact, the actions of the present leaders of the Government ol Guatemala have been cause for deepen concern to this country and*to otherof tho hemisphere and the ticc world.
Guatemala's present leaders have tt led to throw up numerous smokcrcreriii They have tried to portray the Unltei States* concern as being solely over tin Issue of unfair treatment whichhas Inflicted on American entei-prise doing business there, particulars mal-treatment of the United Fruit Co
Now, ltact that thetates Is concerned about such unl.n: treatment The United Slatesourse continue to protect thets citizens abroad. It will continue it protect the rights of Americanand bondholders and manure; men I, as would any other aovcrei^vi

But tills Is not the baalc Issue. This Is not the source of our deepest concern, as regards Guatemala.
the ilmviiiu OMiinjmn
The source of our concern Is that Guatemala haserious beach* head for International communism In this hemisphere.
No smokescreen should divert any other people or ourselres Horn that alarming (act.
The Guatemalan leaders most not be permitted to distort this issue andas If the people of the United States Were against Internal reform measures In foreign lands.
On the contrary, ve are the first to wish the Guatemalan people well intheir standard of living. My country haa demonstrated conclusively for overean, through technicalprograms, our deep interest in Guatemala achieving more of the good things of life for itscity and.toon, better housing, better health. The Inspiring record of the United States stands for all to see in our contributions to p'^'It coals throughout the world.

hat concerns us in Guatemala is Internationalake no mistake: There is nobut the communism which takes orders from the despots of the Kremlin In Moscow.

expect to discuss with bus the problem
In greatest detail.
For manyare been In close contact with the State Department on this problem.
I hate supplemented my Information .by first hand reports from those of my colleagues who bare visited Guatemala and from the reporttaff member of the Senate Foreign Relation*Itselfssigned speeJDcslIy on this Issue.
I wish to reemphasize now that It Is not just tbe United Stales alone which views the developments In Guatemala with deepest apprehension. It is the hemisphere ass whole and the free worldhole.
We In Ihe United Stales, however, ha been particularly singled out by the Guatemalan Communists for attack.
voiaoM sruaa fainter tub nam crawa
The bitterest form nf hostility haa been demonstrated by the Guatemala nj Communists In their speeches. In thru) press writings toward us.
I have in my hand an illustration of] the type of evil poster which theaian Communists have published in] trying lo defame and smear the Slates. This poster or cartoon wasby the misnamed Guatemalan LaborIs. the Guatemalan Communists. It hat been spread all over Guatemala. It shows the effort which Is being made to arouse the sentiment of the common peon or peasant against Uncle Sam. It IS an Indication of what the Kremlin Is doing at our own back; door. It purports lo show Uncle Sam. reaching out his ride andwielding hands to controlhise which is even lower thanl the usual level of Red falsehood.
The united states does not seek to exercise dominion over any people. Thcf United Suites believesolicy ofand noninterference. Wa believe in the equality of sovereign} states, large and small. We believe in good nelghborliness and cooperation among alt nations. We believe In the right Of peoples to work out their own destiny in their own way. provided course they do not harm the rights of others.
I conclude. Mr. President, withhope and prayer thatsituation will not deterfuither. thus endangertius notwelt-being of the Guatemalanbut the security of theHemisphere as a
Mr. President, let us not forget thaif this ts not in Europe. This Is not over In Korea. This is right at our own back door. The situation In Guatemala ls truly challenging. Por thatell that it was my duly, as chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, bring this subject to the attention of' Ihe Senate.
" POLICY TOWARD THE GOVERNMENT OF COMMUNIST
Mr. WElXEft. Mr. President, the question of American policy with respect to the government of Communist China, and, indeed, American policy low aid Asia
In general, continues toubject of (the most vital concern lo our people, land well It should be.
We haveloody war In Korea kt tremendousar which is today mercifully suspended,ar In which tie and* our allies nevertheless (Tailed to attain our final objectives. These objectives. In case anybodyhem today, were the defeat of unprovoked aggression and tbeof the Nation of Korea.
Each of these objectives hareby the military andof the CommunistChina, which the United Slates andtoday face-rolonged
Viewed realistically, there Is littleto be gained Trom this situation, for the simple reason that we are dealing with one of the most brutal and savage regimes yet to appear on thisovernment toially lacking In principle of any kind, and absolutely devoid of
one single act or deed-can be pointed to which would afford the least Indication that the government of Red China anil alter Its course ot haired for the United Stale* and the free world. Insteadll too evident proof that the slightest show of weakness or concession on our pari will onlytheed" to be all the more extreme and demanding in their attitude
This leads me to the specific subjectave In mind today.
Within recent days aiatementsto Mr. Arthur H. Dean, ourto Korea and our chiefIn the Panmuniomthe Chinese and Northhare appeared In theof Mr. Deans oncialviews,ave read them, areIEaaaV
nut this Oovemmenl lo policies which do not have the support of the Majority Leader, the distinguished sensor Senator from California (Mr.f Waller Robertson, Asaislanl Secretary Of Stale for Far KAitcrn Affairs; of Adm. Arthur W. Radford. Ohntiman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; or ofWaits"ofo not know where thane vtpas originate,o know that similar views are presently being advocated Ivy certain left-wing columnists in tne daily press.
I regret to say that Mr. Dean.o an Interview published on Januaryn the Providence Journal, callseivew of thr policy of tbe United States with retard to the government of Communist Chine and the government of Chiang Kai-shek on Formosa.
Mr. Dean offera Ihe view which has long been held byed China apolo-fists In the SlAle DepartmentThereossibility thai the Chinese Communists are more interested in de-"oping thcm<el>ci In China than Uiey are in international communism.
I cannot believe anything can befrom the truth.
Mr. Dean raises the possibilityedge between the Chineseand the Soviet Ife does this deepile Ihe fact lint the leaders of CWrununtil China have, by theirand their miliary acAoos.hemselves lo be aceantete toots of li. InternationalQnmmimisicompear)ts plan for world cmquest.
Left-wingre today cellor mure realism In our altitudeom mm list China.imilar vain. Ur Dean now iVmaniai that we reswore cc: rwy glasses and Uy another pair tn ci: own tough, raalisLac acif-lnlerrat.
I am curious as to what tbe pastil:ong-range Implications of his pioporai might be In connection with our ar. iwunced policy toward Red China.
I ask this question because, aett.r: aside the elaborate and flowerysed by Mr.s crystal clear th* what he Is talking about Is nothing l*eed for rereesing theAmerican policy toward Au* andarkingotally different course -action.
Mr. President, my furthery what authority does Mr. Deanpon himself la discuss any sue* proportion attain*?houldsk If he Is speaking with thef the Secretary ea* State or th*ent of the United States. Certainly M: Dean was never confirmed asor by the Senate of the Unitedcannot lay rlsJtD to its approval, should appreciateorreal'-'.r -wrong, but it has been my underatandir that our prraent policy hasppc of this Nation,m unaware t| ar determined insistence by theeople that ft be ensnared.
