refugee organisations, by local communities and by individuals.
At cach level, the success of the response is affected by the
spirit in which it is undertaken. The right achinistrative machinery and sufficient money are essential, but, for success, the climate in which they operate must be one in which generosity and compassion are given their proper value. B.C.A.R. and the other voluntary organisations have tapped the deep pool of generosity and compassion which still exists in this country in ways which appeal directly to individuals in our community. Without their continuing support the task of rosettling refugees would be so much more difficult. It is against this background that I happily pay tribute to the distinctive contribution of B.C.A.R. in the past year and I wish you every success in coping with the task facing you in 1930.
