Levin characterized Jewish

gist of a number of conversations
we had in the last feW days with
Detroiters who recently returned
from extended trips to South
America. It is a very encourag-
ing observation because before
the war the picture was very
dark and depressing.
Interviewed by The Jewish
News were: Arthur Shutkin, ex-

Shutkin, who is open to a
limited number of speaking en-
gagements, alSo was full of praise
for 'the generous response • of
Latin American Jews to the Zion-
ist cause.
Levin gave an excellent analy-
sis of - the Central American
scene. The small distances be-
tween capitals in Central Amer-
ica bring the Jews of such' .coun-
tries as Costa Rica, Guatemala,
Honduras, etc., closer together
than is possible in South America.
There is a closer social and po-
litical interaction among Central
American Jews; they borrow
ideas from each other and • their
JeWish purPoses are alike. There
is a semblance of congregations
such as does not exist in South
America.

EMMA SCHAVER

SchaVer illuStrated the fact that
Jewish youth in South. America
is changing by telling the story
of . ,a boy who, after a concert;
ca m e up to her and told_her,how
glad and proud' he was that there
is such. a thing as a Jewish
ture which can hold,its own. Such
responses show that -the isolatiOn

WA. Schaver mentioned two
big jewish schools in Buenos
Airs which have a combined
total of 2,200 students . and., are a
tremendous factor in the recon-
struction. of JewiSh life in Ar-
gentina and the creation of in-
terest in Palestine.
A large Jewiih; Center in
Buenos Aires gives that strong
community an outlet for cultUral,
artistic and athletic• • activities.
Mrs. Schaver says that the rec-
ord attendance of her concerts is
an indication of how much those
communities appreciate Jewish
culture and how strongly they
feel linked with it.

Another interesting factor - men-
tioned by Levin is that the Seph-
ardic Jews who in previous years
used to separate themselves from
the Ashkenasim, are now a part
of the Jewish 'community in Mex-
ico and a stronghold of Zionism.

Without Palestine, Levin em- -
phasized, most of the Central

National Fund; Saul R. Levin,
Consul of Honduras inDetroit,
and Mr. and Mrs: Morris Schaver.
Shutkin stressed the progres-
siveness of the - Mexican. Jewish
community. The- 'Zionist move-
:rnent in Mexico is very active,
and Mexico's 35,000 Jews are most
enthusiastic, about the idea of an
independent Jewish state in Pal-
estine. They are more or less
prosperous and enjoy all rights

has to give its citizens. "

The main feature of Mexican.
Jewish life, however, is the exis-
tence of some parochial schools
-which are - subsidized by the gov-

youths are not only brought up
as Mexican citizens but, at the
same time, in Jewish tradition..

is great hope now that a new
life will spring from this rejuven-A
