Countries will adopt a post-war policy of selective immigra-
Transcontinental Music Corp.
tion was made by Morris D. Waldman, vice-chairman of the
executive committee of the American Jewish Committee, announces the publication of Ju-
who has just returned from a three-months tour of the lius Chajes' arrangements of Ten
Southern Continent. Mr. Waldman, whose trip took him to Palestinian Folk Songs, which

Mexico, Peru, Chile, Argentina,
Uruguay, Brazil and Cuba, , con-
ferred with Jewish leaders there
on the educational, religious and
philanthropic needs of their corn-
.. munities, and, in turn, acquainted
them with the activities and poli-
cies of the American Jewish
Committee.
Mr. Waldman pointed out that
some countries — particularly
Brazil, Cuba and Mexico—have
already seen gratifying evidence
of the value of immigration in
the new industries developed by
European refugees.
Newcomers' Integration
Mr. Waldman reported that
'the post-Hitler immigrants in
Latin America have brought in
new skills, new merchandising
ideas, new trades. Product upon
product, from furniture to
clothes, which previously had to
be imported, are now being man-
ufactured by them."
Discussing the integration of
Jewish - newcomers to Latin
America, Mr. Waldman declared:
• "In the Jewish communities in
the countries which I visited, I
found that the recent immigrants,
totaling 125,000, who•constitute a
large proportion of the Jewish
population, are rapidly adapting
themselves to the new conditions
in spite of the painful psychol-
ogical effects of the terrible ex-
periences they suffered under the
savage treatment of the Nazis.
"Many of the- new arrivals have
become naturalized citizens in
their respective countries of set-
tlement. The children are being
educated as nationals and al-
ready there are obvious indica-
tions that the Jewish youth are
developing as Latin Americans,
happy in their new surroundings
and eager to take their part in
the economic and cultural life of
the country."
Jewish Gifts to Mexico
Mr. Waldman disclosed that in
Mexico City, the small commu-
nity of 20,000 recently made a
gift to the municipality of a
modern public school building
costing several hundred thousand
dollars, and that it is now consid-
ering building a 200-bed, ultra-
modern hospital on a non-secta-
rian basis. Jews, he said, have
established many philanthropic
institutions in all the Latin
American capitals " and other
large cities. During the past five
years, they have also raised sub-
stantial sums for the relief of
suffering Jews in Europe and for
the development of the Jewish
settlement in Palestine.
Analyzing anti - Jewish prej-
udice in Latin America, Mr.
Waldman said that this was
largely the result of Nazi propa-
ganda, which until 1941 was al-
lowed to go unchecked, and did
not come from the inherent na-
ture of the people themselves.
