That 1a w~ I apeo1C1e&llJ' urge that thh

Intergo·nrnmental Cc:amittee re4ouble lte e ttort.e . I

r ealize, or course, that Great Britain and J'ranoe, ene;aged

wtlloh a r e neutral to do little more than t o gi" .. e a continuance

tor tbem. That -.eans tllat upon the neutral na t1one there lie•

an obl1gat1on to humanity to carry on t be work.

- . -I have suggested that the current tuk le aaall

ln OOJlparleon with the ruture task. The war will COllie to

an end eo11e day; and those of ua who are realleta know

that ln lta wake the world will face a refugee problea of

different character and of 1nt1n1tel7 greater aagnltude.

All w cu do 1a to eatlaate on the reaaonable
