Americas people furnish money
for Radio Free Europe so we car
help educate and inform the peo-
pie by spreading propaganda by
newspaper, magazine publications
and movies.
America also has a program
for resettling displaced persons,
This program has had the spon-
sorship of many powerful groups,
Catholic, Jewish, International
Church Service, and SO forth.
When the displaced person gets
to America the specific group
that sponsors him assists in find
ing him a job, helps educate him
to speak the English language
and aids in many other ways that
will help him become a success
in his new home. They are also
given assistance in the prepara-
ton of becoming valuable Ameri-
can citizens, if such is their de-
sire. Most of these worthy indi-
viduals have proven to be pathet-
ically grateful for u help.
We, as a government and as or
ganized groups, sponsor and greet
exchange students. When ex-
change students come into our
communities we do all we can
to treat them fairly and squarely.
Just recently when one was here,
he was given the right to speak
over the radio and in our schools
and to our students here he was
an ideal. Many countries are
against anything that might in
any way idealize a foreigner. We
approve of exchange students in
the belief that by giving them
every opportunity to know and
respect us for what we really
are, we will all benefit. Better
understanding of each other will

strife that now exists.
Many American people have
become so-called foster parents.
People send a specified yearly
amount for the care of some
homeless child, many of whom
are hungry, cold or dying for
lack of medicine. The amount
they send ssures the necessities
for one particular child.
The establishment of small
shrines and churches built by
popular subscription by our peo-
pie are not to be overlooked. The
1eart can hunger also!
The way the American people
nave supported the Care Pack
age program is something in
we may feel great pride
and satisfaction.
The support of the American

We have and shall continue to
