At least 2 to 3 million additional persons displaced by the war are not recorded on the Governments rollsbut are found in the slums of Saigon and other cities. and in the squatter towns which dot the countryside and the outskirts of provincial and district capitals throughout the country. It is an alarming fact. that because of the war more than onefourth of the population of South Vietnam Is displaced. The tragic and disruptive consequences of this tremendous movement to the life of the individual refugee and in the society of which he is a part. staggers the imagination and all but defies comprehension. It plays havoc on the social fabric of the countryside. It creates a rootless proletariat in the larger cities and towns.
