# The Republic of Vietnam Helps Refugees

A Vietnamese-language poster headed 'The Government of the Republic of Vietnam helps compatriots fleeing from the Communists' shows a maroon silhouette of a man with a sack, a woman carrying a baby and a bag, and a child running past a tree. The text lists three kinds of aid from the Ministry of Health, Social Welfare and Relief and says hamlet and village officials can help claim them. It is mainly informational and names no cause of displacement other than the Communists.
