The importance to the country of our program demands it. In going positive. it might help us. as a matter of background. to consider what has been happening in the reclamation field in some other countries. In 1953 it was my Immigration and Refugee Committee assignment to spend 3 months in Europe studying a refugee program which is being largely supported by the United States through the United Nations and other agencies. In Holland. it is claimed. there is the highest concentration of population per square mile of any place in the world. . The Dutch Government. faced with the everpresent problem of trying to match land resources with a heavy annual increase in population. has made heroic efforts in the past to add to its domain by reclaiming a large area from the sea. and presently has underway a vast project for reclaiming land now covered by the Zuyder Zee. an arm of the turbulent North Sea.
