It has demonstrated to them that on their way to freedom they have not been abandoned to their fate. It has confirmed thei? faith in democracy to the point where subsequent hardships could not destroy it. It has proved to the world that the right of asylum is not a mere formality devoid of human. content. It has helped to keep clive hopo for tomorrow in the breasts of all peoples whe are today enslaved by Communist tyranny. it would be a catastrophe of the first order if this vital work wero ta ‘come to an end for.dack of funds.
