I wish to bring to the attention of my colleagues the testimony of Ross Dixon. the president of the Shanghai Tiffin Club and a trustee of the YaleinChina Association. Mr. Dixon testified today before the Senate Subcommittee To Investigate Problems Connected With Refugees and Escapees. Mr. Dixon. who spent 4 years in China. brought to this committee an intimate knowledge of the problems of Chinese refugees. In a wellreasoned and highly imaginative statement Mr. Dixon observed. "The refugee problem we are discussing cannot be considered a problem for Hong Kong to solve. Nor should it be considered a problem for the Republic of ChinaTaiwanto solve. The refugee problem is a free world problem and a free world challenge." Among his suggestions he proposed that the. United States invite a number of the 5.000 Chinese students in the United States to work with young Americans on resettlement of Chinese refugees. The problem of those seeking freedom from the tyranny of Chinese communism is one which deserves our closest attention. The following statement by Ross Dixon should encourage us to think of constructive ways to meet this challenge:
