Fi- nally, they NRS arranged with local refugee committees in 14 cities for the reception of the in- ternees after they were allowed to leave Camp Algiers. Now they will be able to live normal lives and to contribute an astonishing variety of special skills to the war effort. It is small wonder that Earl G. Harrison, United States Commis- sioner of Immigration and Natur- alization recently said: "I think all of us in America should be deeply grateful for what the Na- tional Refugee Service has done during recent years in rescuing people from the terrorism abroad. This country has been greatly en- riched as a result of its activities and acts of friendship . . . Its work will pay dividends in terms of thousands of human beings .. . and I see a continued need for it in the future." The closing phrase in Commis- sioner Harrison's statement is es- pecially significant at this time. He sees a continuing need for the services of the NRS to America. In other words, he takes for granted the maintenance of our American tradition of asylum, and of the laws and policies by which it is implemented. Millions of Americans unquestionably feel the same way. That tradition is a part of the body of beliefs and concepts which form the founda- tion of American democracy. In upholding it and strengthening it by action we uphold and strength- en our own liberties. The maxim "eternal vigilance is the price of liberty" applies to no people more than to the Jews. In defending our liberty as Amer- ican Jews we must decide first whether we are going to fight on the ground chosen by those who 1 would destroy our liberty, or on the front that we ourselves choose. In taking a determined stand for the American tradition ries another central responsibility which is peculiarly its own. This is its function, especially since the United States entered the war, as intermediary with Washington on refugee problems and alien regu- lations. An example of its work in this field is the news that has reached my desk as this is being written, of the order for "relaxed internment" of fifty refugees held at Camp Algiers near New Or- leans. These people, residents of a number of Latin American coun- tries who were sent to the United States for internment after Pearl Harbor as aliens of enemy nation- ality, are all victims of Hitler- ism, loyal to democracy. Months of nationwide investigation and of negotiations in Washington were devoted by the NRS to their cause. Meawhile, the agency and its affiliated committees in New Orleans and other cities did all they could to ameliorate the con- ditions of internment. They saw to it that families which had been scattered in various internment centers were reunited. They pro- vided means for vocational study, the learning of English, recrea- Greetings and Best Wishes to All Frank Fitzgerald CIRCUIT COURT COMMISSIONER SINCEREST GREETINGS FOR THE NEW YEAR AETNA TOOL COMPANY 6791 E.
