Our men in North Africa, in the closest cooperation with rep- resentatives of Governor Lehman's Office of Foreign Relief and Re- habilitation Operations (OFRRO), are working on this task of re- constructing Tunisian Jewry. We do not underestimate the difficul- ties or the cost. We know, how- ever, that we were able to do an even greater job in Eastern Eu- rope after the last war. We know, too, that it is important to set the Tunisian Jewish house in order so that when we follow the Allies into Italy, where there are some 10,000 Jewish refugees, ROSH HASHONAH there will be a modern rehabili- tation pattern to go by. In the meantime the J. D. C. has granted 4,250,000 franc to aid the homeless in Tunisia, among them 1,800 evacuees from Bizerte, of whom 1,200 are being tempor- arily housed in Tunis school build- ings. One thousand native Jews who fled Tripolotania into Tuni- sia, when Rommel was blasted back, are being aided, and J. D. C. representatives are discussing the matter of their repatriation with the military authorities. From North Africa the J. D. C. route crosses the Mediterranean northwestward to the Iberian Pen- insula—Spain and Portugal. In this relief sector we include Switz- erland as well, for it was to Switzerland and Spain that be- fore and after last Rosh Hasho- nah some 20,000 men, women and children fled the occupied zone and the then still unoccupied part of France. They fled to escape deportation in Poland and, in November, Nazi seizure of the un- occupied zone. GREETINGS Le Shono Tovo Tikosevu Custom Upholstering ti SANI-WASH LAUNDRY Furniture Co.

The drama of their escape and the drama of the J. D. C.'s efforts to bring them succor is still being enacted. Some day it will be told in its entirety. What concerns us for the im- mediate future is to get us many people as possible out of Spain. Some have already been evacuat- ed to England and North Africa. While we have been unusually successful in securing the freedom of Jewish refugees imprisoned in Spain by giving the Spanish au- thorities guarantees of support, the latter are exerting pressure to have the refugees emigrated once they are liberated. In some cases refugees who could not leave were re-interned. Our men in North Africa are laboring with this problem. In Switzerland the problem on the J. D. C. agenda is a different one. There we are trying to get children into the country. The youngsters are in the formerly unoccupied zone of France. If the countries in the Western Hemi- sphere for which they had visas before Hitler seized that zone will be validated for use after the war, Switzerland will permit their entry. The J. D. C. has set aside as an initial grant the sum of $200,000 for maintenance of the first 1,000 children in the event they arrive. In the meantime the J. D. C. has stepped un its allotments to Spain. Switzerland and Portugal. The Spanish budget now stands at $100,000 monthly, representing an increase of $20,000; the Swiss at $82,500 monthly, and Portu- guese at $22,000, These funds Rosh Hashonah Greetings to All!

C. goal in Latin America—to instill confi- dence and reliance in the young and immature Jewish communi- ties, to exercise adequate control of the refugee situation, and to preserve South America as a fu- ture haven for post-war immi- grants. Greater funds should have been allotted. Unfortunately, the J. D. C. must bear the burden of Jewish needs over the world. Our task in Latin America is to accent the rehabilitative side of our work, rather than the purely relief aspects. Our job is to see to it that people become See FUTURE—Page 16 SEASON'S GREETINGS!

It means, too, that under a special Children's Project refugee young- sters in Spain are aided to come to the U. C. Four transports have already arrived here; more are being prepared. The final pin, at Buenos Aires, is perhaps the brightest of all. It gleams not only with hope but with accomplishment. It repre- sents not only a haven of refuge for 125,000 Jewish immigrants but also a homeland and normal life. Of the approximately $8,000.- 000 which the J. D.
