More Than 148 Million Persons Uprooted
From Homes During Last Half-Century
Conor's noce: seventeen million . rope,
They are the refugees of the
world and every day their ranks
swell the Dutch fleeing Indonesia,
the endless stream from Red China,
the crossers of the Iron Curtain to
the West.
It Is one of the greatest tragedies
or our time. Yet, shortly atter
World War II, their number was 79
million. The free peoples of the
world made homes for most of
them.
The United Press has prepared
two stories on the world refugee
problem. The first of the dispatches

New York (IP) One of the
most tragic chapters m the
history of the past half-cen
tury is written in tears, blood
and misery of more than 148
million persons uprooted and
driven from their homelands
by war or political, racial and
economic oppression.
The melancholy figure of
the refugee is not a new sight
to the eyes of mankind, for his
history goes back at least as
far as the great exodus of the
Jews from Egypt'.
But it is in the past- 50-odd
years, with their massive wars
and revolutionary political up
heavals, that the refugee pop
ulation of the world has swol
len with alarming and pitiable
speed.
Experts concerned with the
refugee problem say there is
no doubt the refugee problem
of modern times is all out of
proportion to those of the
past. They cite as a major rea
son the fact that today's con
quered peoples have - the
means of transportation need
ed to escape oppression, while
their forebears were simply
forced to make the best of
the presence of their oppressors.
Another Factor
Another factor is that mod
ern man, having lived freely,
will choose voluntary flight
rather than relinquish his
freedoms. This works two
ways, for in literally millions
of cases, persons who clung
to unpopular political, religi
ous and racial background
have been forced to flee their
homelands on pain of death.
Whether it is for any of
these reasons, or simply man's
basic will to live that has
driven millions to seek refuge
in foreign lands and among
strangers, the fact is that the
plight of the refugees has
been a great problem political
ly, economically and morally
for the free people of the
world.
It is upon the free people
that the responsibility has
fallen to either integrate the
newcomers into their own cul
tures, resettle them else
where, or send them back
from whence they came.
The modern world's refugee
problem began shortly after
the turn of the century. By
the time World War I was
over, more than five million
persons had been forced by
war or oppression to flee then-
homelands.
These included 2 5 0 ,0 0 0
Armenians who escaped mas
sacre in Turkey, a million re
fugees from the Balkan wars
and more than 3Vss million
persons uprooted by World
War I. Most of these were
repatriated or resettled in Eu-
the United States : and
Australia.
A New Class
In 1918, a new class of the
homeless the political ref
ugees - came on the scene.
More than 1,500,000 Russians
fled the Bolshevik revolution.
An additional 500,000 Turks.
Armenians and Greeks also
were banished from the Com
munists' new world. Post-
World War I treaties account
ed for displacement of 6V2
million people in Turkey, the
Balkans and Upper Europe.
For years, these refugees
surged back and forth across
borders, thousands to return
to thejr homelands, others to
give up hope of ever return
ing. France accepted and in
tegrated 400,000 Russians and
the rest were resettled in 46
other countries,
Manchuria.
The modern-day refugee
has his own bitter system of
counting time before Hitler
and after Hitler. Before the
war that Hitler wrought was
over, more than 79 million
persons in Europe and Asia
became displaced, were trans
ferred to slave labor camps,
or were able to escape in the
wake of the advancing tanks
and roaring artillery.
Of this number, six million
Jews were mercilessly slaugh
tered in concentration camps.
Of the 73 millions remaining,
about half were slave laborers
and civilians uprooted by
battle who eventually found
their ways back home.
In the postwar period, those
who remained homeless swell-
including; ed to more than 57 million in
Europe, Russia, Asia and the

School Board to Meet
By MARY JO HARRIS
Butte Falls There will
be an open meeting for school
board members and the pub
lic for district 91 at the Butte
Falls High school at 8 p.m.
today.
The meeting is being held
to discuss the possibilities of
reorganization and consolida
tion of the Butte Falls High
school with the high schools
of Prospect, Shady Cove and
Elk-Trail. The construction of
Union High school in the
Shady Cove vicinity also will
be discussed. '
All interested in taking
part in the discussion are
urged to attend.
I there be a break in the wea
ther the men will return to
work sometime this week.
Mrs. Clara Kent returned
from Klamath Falls recently
where she attended the funer

at least 17 million today re
mained unsettled, unrepatri-
atedjand unintegrated into
new homelands.
Still More
And still the one-way tide
of the homeless and uprooted
washes in. In the past few
weeks, alone, 300,000 Dutch
residents have been forced to
leave Indonesia. Annually,
more than 250,000 East Ger
mans flee the Iron Curtain.
In the last three months of
1957, Italy and Austria re
ceived nearly 6,000 refugees
from a new source Yugosla
via. At least 15,000 more are
expected from Yugoslavia this
year.
Hundreds of refugees daily
pour in from the Chinese
mainland to Formosa and
Hong Kong, and in Hong
Kong alone, nearly a million
live in the squalor of card
board huts or caves, with
little or no hope for resettle
ment. Their plight is similar
to that of the 900,000 Pale-
I stine Arabs whose fate awaits
a political settlement in the
Middle East.
It is these people, the unset
tled, unrepatriated, unintega
ted and despairing 17 million
plus that the free world must,
somehow, assimilate. It has
been able to do that in the
case of millions in the past
and now searches for a means
of doing so again.
