I am speaking of the Bengali minority in Pakistan and the Bihari minority in Bangladesh. Mr. President. apparently there is some law of international relations that the world can be concerned only with yesterdays misfortunes. never tomorrows problems. Last year. the world turned its back as millions of refugees poured into India. overtaxed its economy and social structure and finally strained tensions between India and Pakistan to the point of open war. Then. when the damage was done. the governments of the world began to show some concern for the plight of miserable and unfortunate people. And aid. still in outrageously small and inhumane amounts. began to flow.
