3 Int'l Migration Dig. 5 (1966)

handle is hein.journals/imgratv9999 and id is 1 raw text is: EDITORIAL A man, uprooted, stands bewildered in an alien land. Somewhere a hand reaches out to help. Behind the compassionate gesture there is a mind that understands. If the help is to be truly effective, it must be based on knowledge, and experience. Behind the knowledge and experience gained are the rich sources whence they came. The International Migration Digest is and strives to become even more so, such a source. From its inception as a little paper concerned with the problems of one group of people, it has ever broadened its scope to em- brace the needs of all migrant peoples everywhere, of all nations, all races, all religions or of no religion.

The questions seem simple. The answers are not. There is a tremendous complex of empirical study involved in those answers. The Inter- national Migration Digest is, and seeks to become ever more deeply involved and therefore wishes to be the channel of the results of the scientific findings. It urges now the cooperation, closely, of all centers of study, and is especially interested in original articles in the field. The International Migration Digest is the organ of the Center for Migration Studies, itself an integral part of the Center in Rome. The Digest is severely disciplined in its published material.
