I think it was impressive that in these discussions to which the Senator referred. the political sensitivity on both sides on the question of the refugees was such that most of the leaders in those regions dared not appear to be discussing the problem. It was very delicate. because it had been brought home to them in the minds of the people on both sides. The bias. the prejudice. the emotions were so deeply rooted that this problem has become what we might call a political hot potato. Unless the blindness which passions evoke can be eased. a useful negotiation on the other matters cannot be had. because. in my judgment. it will not focus upon the problem which. if solved. has the greatest chance to do the most good. I refer. of course. to relieving the refugee pressure.
