group of newcomers has been in-
telligently planned and directed.
We now know that it can be done.
The implications for the future
are as obvious as they are far-
reaching.
I need not dwell on the point
that this was only possible be-
cause the Jews of the United
States had the foresight to orga-
nize a central agency, the Na-
tional Refugee Service, to deal
with the problem and to support
it through the years by their
contributions to the United Jew-
ish Appeal.
It is hard to say how much
headway has been made by those
who have been muttering that
this country should or will shut
off immigration after the war.
The idea appears to have gained
some currency even among Amer-
ican Jews that this is likely or
inevitable, yet the facts prove that
it need not be so. During the
past ten years more than 500,000
visas were Issued for admission
to the United States. The over-
whelming majority were for pros-

pective permanent immigrants.
Many of the recipients found it
impossible to use their visas.
Yet despite all difficulties some
250,000 refugees actually reached
the United States.
The willingness of our govern-
ments to admit a half a million
people during these stressful ten
years and the actual admission
of 208,000 bonafide Jewish refu-
gees is sufficient evidence that the
United States is still the great
haven that it always has been,
that there is still meaning and
validity in the words of Emma
Lazarus inscribed on the base of
the Statue of Liberty:
Here at our sea-washed, sun-
set gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a
torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning,
and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her
beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome.
These are the considerations
that entitle us to feel that our
work on behalf of the refugees
has been fruitful. In bringing
about these results the role of
the NRS has been that of a na-
tional instrumentality for focusing
on the problem the will of 5,000,-
000 American Jews and all the
liberal and humanitarian forces
which are working to maintain
the American tradition of asylum
for the persecuted. To perform
this national function the NRS
has acted in a dual capacity. It is
the servant of the community in
providing for the reception and
integration of refugees. It guides
the community by virtue of its
position as the central national
,rganization, and its continual
contacts with official circles and
with all phases of the problem.
During the year 1942 the agency,
through its officers and field rep-
resentatives, its resources of tech-
nical data and its professional
services, brought its experience
to bear on problems in more than
900 cities and towns throughout
the country.
All the other many-sided func
tions of the NRS in providing
direct services to refugees, essen-
tial as they have been in speed-
ing the adjustment of the new-
comers and keeping the gates
open, are adjuncts to this main
national task. The NRS is flex-
ible both in its organization and
its policy. When circumstances
require that it extend direct relief
or vocational training or capital
loans or any other service on
major scale it does this, and does
it in accordance with the best
r social service standards. But the
specific accomplishments of NRS
are best understood against the
background of American Jewish
•
news dispatches or moving pic-
tures, it has brought home to Jews
and non-Jews alike the reality of
the Hitlerism we are fighting
against, and the significance of
the freedom we are fighting to
preserve.
Similarly, the other achieve-
ments of the NRS which can be
measured in terms of statistics—
its 22,000 lob placements, largely
in fields allied to the war effort,
its placement of 1,500 physicians
and 4,500 specialists, rabbis, and
other professionals, its extension
of 5,000 small loans to help estab-

life as g whole. The NRS and its
predecessors, for example, have
succeeded in resettling about 15,-
000 refugees from ports of entry
to communities in the interior of
the country. This movement is im-
portant chiefly because it has
formed the nucleus and stimulus
for a much larger migration of
refugees away from the seaports,
following along the trail blazed
by the NRS. There has resulted
an immeasurable beneficent im-
pact on communities, large and
small, from coast to coast. The
arrival of the newcomers has
refreshed and stimulated commu-
nity life. It has brought even re-
mote and semi-isolated groups in-
to direct contact with the main
