If one takes a close look at the dimensions and complexity of the problems: overcoming of racial barriers. setting aside structural unemployment. creation of new industrial centers. and educational programs of the most varied nature. then can the task you are undertaking be seen indeed to be one of the boldest attempts at social change in the industrial age. Even if the problems are not altogether comparable. I would like here to be able to mention that the German Federal Republic in the reconstruction period after the war and widespread destruction of its cities and means of production has had to master between 1945 and today the social and economic assimilation of 12 million refugees. We are thankful that in this case the curse turned partly into a blessing. and. perhaps. even though the starting points are admittedly not comparable. and analysis of all the measures and legislative acts which helped in our country and a study of the empirical course of -this development could provide content for some of your considerations. To the thanks for your visit with us is added our good wishes for the success of this mammoth new task.
