Three Month Delay Seen in Admitting ImmTgrants
WASHINGTON, (JTA)—It will
require some three months of
study and preparation of admin-
istrative regulations and proced-
ures before United States im
migration officials can put the
- new refugee immigration law
into operation, it was reported
here. One of the complications
in getting the program to admit
214,000 people under way, is that
at the last minute Congress
switched responsibility for im-
plementation from the Mutual
Security Administration to the
State Department.

ganizations cooperating with the

TEL AVIV, (JTA)—A shipment
of 4,000 Israel-made raincoats

plane for the United States. The
first shipment of 500 tons of
phosphates from Israel's Negev
region left for Italy. Larger
quantities are expected to be
shipped soon.

immigration program, including
the Joint Distribution Commit-
tee, will prove more difficult
than under previous immigra-
tion laws, it was predicted.
Among the new difficulties im-
posed by Congress was the pro -
vision of the law which requires
that assurance of jobs and
housing for prospective immi-
grants be given on an individual
rather than a mass, basis.
Translated American Works
Slated for Israel Publication
TEL AVIV, (IIP) — Hebrew
translations of American works
are to become a regular product
of Israel publishing houses. Im-
port of paper from the United
States for implementation of the
project will be undertaken by
three authorized importers.
The Ministry of Education,
working in conjunction with the
U. S. authorities, will approve
titles chosen by publishers from
lists submitted by them. Pay-
ments for the imports, which are
made under the American Inter-
national Media Guaranty
Scheme, will be made at the rate
of IL.1. per $1.

Editor, The Jewish News
I would greatly appreciate
your giving space in your col-
umns to the following lines,
since they reveal a grave injus-
tice inflicted upon a consider-
able number of Central Euro-
pean refugees who were forced
to emigrate to Shanghai, China,
in order to escape Nazi oppres-
sion and persecution.

ment, so far, does not recognize
its liability to the refugees who
had lived in Austria' prior to
their emigration to Shanghai.

this emigration was not

From the aforementioned, it
may be ascertained that:

was not voluntary.
