The Mengistu regime has succeeded remarkably in getting other nations to impose a form of diplomatic selfcensorship. But indications of Pol Pot style resettlement camps clash with our humanitarian limits. What we now need. obviously. is more information. I have. therefore. written Secretary of State Shultz requesting a report on the allegations. The survey by Cultural Survival was small. and more systematic debriefings of refugees and international relief workers are urgently needed. In the long history of 20th century mass murder. the world community has invariably ignored early warnings of ensuing disaster. The tragedies which already have befallen Ethiopia from the ravages of its government could. unbelievably. grow worse.
