Refugees, 1963 TRUMAN S. George L. Warren ARCHIVENAL AND RECORDS 1 SERVICE" U.S. The United Nations High Commissioner for on November 29, 1963 Refugees, Felix Schnyder (Switzerland) stated / that he foresaw the end of major refugee assist- ance projects in Europe by the close of 1965, partly because of increased prosperity in Europe. There were, however, estimated to be 30,000 refugees resulting from the political actions connected with WW-II, rwho weresstill not permanently settled. Some of these were in the remaining camps in Germany, Austria, Greece and Italy. The majority, however, were seeking final settlement outside camps in these countries of first asylum. To the hard core of 30,000 WW-II refugees still unsettled there must be added approximately 15,000 new refugees who en- terethese countries of asylum each year from the Eastern European countries. Related to this constant flow are the movements of some 4,000 Yugoslavs into Austria and of a larger number into Italy annually. These latter move through processing centers in Austria and Italy to per- manent resettlement in Australia, Canada and the United States, or are absorbed in temporary employment in Germany, Switzerland, France and Sweden The
