I know that this kind of talk goes on. to which the Senator from Tennessee has referred. But I do not think that is the simple choice. I think the choice is whether they ha~e war and the refugees. because having a war is just going to increase the number of refugees. These are persons who have been displaced by the breakdown of the jute industry in East Bengal. They are caused by the typhoon which struck there 18 months ago. It is caused by the repression of the militaristic regime. These are all problems that have accumulated. Many of these people are there because even if there were no civil unrest. there is no livelihood for them. because the jute industry has collapsed. and they came where they can get a free meal.
