They Look to the West
kHEV LOOKED to the West for strength of arms
... for liberation from the yoke of the oppressor,
And still they look. But they look now for food
to keep alive the spark of life. They look for food
for their children ... their hope of the future... the
hope of their unhappy, war-racked land§.
They look for clothing... warm clothing to pro-
tect them against the dread, sickening chill of coal-
less houses.
They look for medicines and vitamins.. *to help
them save their wounded, their ill, and their plague-
Stricken victims.
They look for seed... fo plant the fallow earth
once more ... to eke out their famine rations of
grass and weeds and ersatz, sawdust bread,
iThey look for hope.
Out of the cradle of liberty they pray that there
will come the inspiration to build anew... with new
rights, new freedoms, new opportunities for them*
iel^es.
IThey have suffered long, and they are weary. Vft
cannot fail them... we must not fail them... now
that a new day is so close at hand.
The things they need . . . food and clothing,
medicines and vitamins ... and hope for the future
•.. are all made possible by your contribution this
