A communique pub- lished following the assembly's meeting in Florence did not men- tion the names or nationality of the non-Italian rabbis who it ac- cused of "repeated insupportable behavior." Cabinet Rules Against Returning of Arab Refugees The communique claimed these rabbis were violating "the Jewish principle that imposes respect for the competence of each local rab- binical authority." It deplored the alleged behavior as "intolerable interference" and urged Italian rabbis "to combat this phonomenon with all means in accordance with halakha" (reli- gious law). The rabbis meeting in Flor- ence asked the Jewish public not to patronize hotels and restau- rants designated "kosher" by other than the local rabbinical authorities.

The migration official points out that Jewish life remains un- certain in many countries. "In a number of them, emigration of the Jewish community provides the only answer," he said. "We are proud that United Hias Service was helpful to 800 Jews who, with passports and exit permits, left Iraq to join rela- tives in Western countries. We are continuing to work to achieve the departure of those still re- maining who wish emigration. "Our joy that many Iraqui Jews have managed to improve their lot is dampened when we are forced to view the said condition of Syrian Jewry. Syria's 4,300 Jews have been subject to indignities and privations and denied basic rights. "We will not rest until the lot of Syria's Jews is bettered and those who so desire are permitted to join their families in other lands," he said. Of the 3,174 migrants assisted in 1971. 1,828 were from Europe, 1,088 from the Middle East and North Africa, 213 from Chile and 45 from Cuba. By area of immi- gration, 1,731 found new homes in Western Europe, 955 in the United States, 268 in Canada, 171 in Latin America and 49 in Aus- tralia. Expenditures for t he year amounted to $2,744,179.
