Billikopf Says
Refugees Can
Aid War Effort

Three on Panel
Of Youth Speaks
Program, July 22

Praises N. Y. Times Editorial
.Which Urged Use of
Intellectual Exiles

Jacob Billikopf, director of the
Labor Standards Association of
Philadelphia, • cites examples of
refugees who have contributed
to the U.S. war effort in a letter
to the New York Times.
Deeply impressed by t h e
Times editorial, "They Can Aid,"
in which a strong plea was made
that among those who have suc-
ceded in escaping to our shores
there are 2,250 exiles who are a
source of intellectual warpower
• which we have not tapped and
whose services should be utiliz-
ed, Mr. Billikopf wrote:
"In 1937 and 1938 it was my
privilege to serve as co-director
of what is known now as the
National Refugee Service. One
of my tasks was to create
through the country resettlement
committees for the reception of
refugees—confident that through
such intelligent distribution they
might more readily be .absorbed
in American life and civilization.
The record of the 1,500 or more
refugees who have been sent in-
land has been remarkable.
"A refugee for whom a job was
found in 1938 writes, 'I employ
now about 80 persons. If it were
not for shortages of goods we
could employ many more. You
will be pleased to know that my
wife and I will shortly become
citizens and that will be one of
the happiest days of our lives."
"The aliens who come here are
never again what they were in
the lands whence they canie. We
bruise them at times; we : .set
some of the Old World barriers
against them; we regard as in-
herited racial traits characterist-
ics common to all people burst-
ing from oppression; but for all
that we change them and they
become an integral part of our
American civilization," Mr. Billi-
kopf's letter added.

Tomorrow" will be the topic of

Lt. Handler writes.

eagerness—it is good!" he added.
