I wish to call attention to the valiant work of the Mennonite Central Committee which. since 1954. has been quietly. yet vigorously seeking to alleviate the many health and welfare problems of the Vietnamese people. Now. the committee is again projecting new plans to meet emergency as well as long term needs. The Mennonite Central Committee has been especially alert to the exigencies of the vastly increasing numbers of refugees who have been uprooted by the conflict in their villages and home areas. The political and military significance of such uprooted peoples. both Vientamese and Montagnards. is of the first magnitude in the struggle against communism. and the contributions of the committee to the welfare of these peoples should not go unheralded. It is always heartening to note such humanitarian activities by private organizations. continuing evidence of the value of our kind of society in which the creative genuis of private initiative is given maximum freedom.
