not change on July 1. Persons who

United Hias Service has antici-

It has been assisting clients in
filing petitions for their relatives

agency has been assisting in job

gal, China and the Philippines. The
reason for this is that quotas for
Great Britain, Ireland and Ger-
many were always available and
there was no need to file petitions.
However, since applicants from
these countries, after July 1, must
compete for the 170,000 numbers,
they can do so only on the basis
of a priority established by the
filing of a petition. For Italy,
Greece, Portugal, China and the
Philippines, petitions have been on
file for many years and the appli-
cants from those countries will,
therefore enjoy the advantage.
What is the effect of the change-
over in the law on Jewish immi-
gration? Until July 1, the quotas
to which most Jewish applicants
are chargeable — Czechosolvakia,
Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and the
USSR—are available. The problem
in these countries has been the
difficulty in obtaining passports.
Nevertheless, some persons have
been able to overcome this ob-
stacle.
It is advisable for those who
can obtain passports to plan
their departures before July 1,
so that it will not be necessary
to compete on a world wide
basis after that date for the
170,000 numbers.
For the past several years,
Jewish immigration to the United
States has been mainly under the
refugee provision of the law. That
provision allows persons who have
fled from Communist or Middle
East countries to transit countries,
i.e. Italy and France, to be ad-
mitted to the United States as con-
ditional entrants, and to obtain
permanent residence after two
