Mr. President. the crisis in East Bengal is a story of human misery on a scale unequaled in modern times. It is a story of systematic terror and military repression. of indiscriminate killing and the dislocation of millions of civilians. It is a story of death and disease. of too little food and water. of fetid refugee camps without hope and a countryside stalked by famine. And throughout it all. the world has barely murmured a word. Perhaps this is because we are conditioned in the world we have created to accept such suffering and injustice. To many the plight of the Bengali people is just another link in the chain of warravaged populations stretching around the world in recent years.
