"The situation you are dealing with is terrible. We

"In your effort to alleviate the plight of the victims of Hitlerism
and to place them on the road to recovery, you are performing tasks
which will contribute to the reconstruction of the countries and the
peoples shattered by the, war, and to the re-establishment of a greater
sense of comradeship and cooperation among all men."
