With sheer force of determination and effort the Italian people have managed to repair the ravages of war and rebuild their country. Needless to say. much yet remains to be accomplished. Complicating Italys economic problems today is the steady influx of refugees who are forced to leave Tunisia and must seek refuge in Italy. Over 10.000 refugees have already been admitted. and they continue to arrive at the rate of 200 per week. Although the Italian Government is doing its best to care for them. the task of absorbing this large number of expellees is an overwhelming one for an already overburdened economy. I am hopeful that we can relieve this situation somewhat by admitting some of the refugees to this country. I have introduced legislation to accomplish this. Italys progress cannot only be measured by her internal success. but must take into account also her significant participation in world affairs.
