You got quite a sight coming.
Looks like chicken innards at frying time.

:03:30
Considering the taxpayers' money
poured on it,

:03:32
I don't expect it to look like a lace Valentine.
:03:39
Golly.
:03:46
Well, that's rough doing.
That sure is rough doing.

:03:54
They ought to put in grass
and move in a herd of longhorn.

:03:57
Build up their industries.
Get those smokestacks belching again.

:04:01
- Not without organised labour.
- We got to feed the people.

:04:04
You can't keep a country
eating scraps out of garbage pails.

:04:07
I'm all for sending food,
only let 'em know where it's from.

:04:10
I object to dollar diplomacy.
:04:12
- But you don't mind sending food.
- There's a difference.

:04:16
If you give a hungry man bread,
that's democracy.

:04:18
If you leave the wrapper on, it's imperialism.
:04:21
Gentlemen, these are
very grave problems indeed

:04:25
but they don't happen to be
the problems of this committee.

:04:28
Perhaps I should remind you
why we were sent to Berlin,

:04:31
since our chairman,
Mr Pennecot of New Hampshire,

:04:34
has been indisposed ever since
we took off from Washington.

:04:38
We're here to investigate the morale
of American occupation troops,

:04:42
nothing else.
:04:44
12,000 of our boys are policing
that pest hole down below

:04:47
and according to reports, they are being
infected by a kind of moral malaria.

:04:53
It is our duty to their wives, their mothers,
their sisters, to find the facts.

:04:57
And if these reports are true,
:04:59
to fumigate that place with
all the insecticides at our disposal.
