This opposition sought to brand the displaced persons as war criminals. traitors and collaborators. Their only solution to the problem of millions of uprooted people was forcible repatriation. Despite the unyielding position of the Soviet representatives on this question. the western nations. in no small measure aided by the forceful stand taken by the United States delegation. drew up the constitution of the International Refugee Organization. To say that perfection was attained would be highly inaccurate. But the libertyloving nations stood together and accepted this constitution as a means of initiating the activities necessary to solve the problem of those displaced persons who could not. with safety to their lives and liberties. return to their native lands. It is significant to note that today the International Refugee Organization is supported solely by those nations which have been forced to group themselves together for purposes of common security against the threat of the latest world aggressor. I cite a list of the member nations of the International Refugee Organization: Australia. Belgium. Canada.
