An American Commission
In Europe

A Story Of How the ENJOYS the He
brew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid
Society Of America Sent to Europe,
Have Brought Order Out of Chaos,
Have Reunited Families Separated
by the War, and Infused Hope into
Hearts Embittered by Untold Suf
ferings.

Mr.. Leon Kamaiky, who went to
Europe early in February, together
with Mr.. Jacob Massel and Mr.. Louis
Busker, their Secretary, in behalf Of
the Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant
Aid Society Of America, and returned
recently, has now issued detailed
report Of their activity while in Po-
land.
The report reads like a novel in
that it tells Of accomplishing what
was deemed the impossible, in its
story Of how American Jews, through
the Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant
Aid Society, have succeeded in reunit-
ing American citizens and residents
with their families abroad from whom
they had been separated by the war.
Begin Preliminary Work in London.
The Commission left New York on
February 9th, and arrived at Lon
don on the thirteenth Of tbs same
month. There they Immediately got
busy, and taking advantage Of the
meeting Of the Zionist actions COM
mittee which was just then held in
the English capital, conferred with
representative Jews from practically
all the countries of Europe.
They also submitted a memoran-
dunn to the Right Honorable Sir
Stuart Samuel, President Of the Board
Of Jewish Deputies in England, in
which they stated the object Of the
commissions work, emphasizing that
II is not the work Of charity, but that
the Society, consisting Of over no.
900 members all over the United
States, is able, ready and willing to
take all the necessary precautions for
the protection and guidance Of emf
grants from the moment they leave
Eastern Europe until they reach their
destination in this country.
The result Of their activity in Lon
don was most fruitful, as 1t was the
actual beginning Of the work Of re-
uniting families.
Visit West European Cities.
Before proceeding further, the
commissioners visited Rotterdam,
Brussel, Antwerp and Paris. On their
arrival to the latter city on February
9th, the commission learned that
there we're in the French capital be
tween six and seven hundred women,
children and young men mainly from
Poland and Galicia, stranded there on
their way to relatives in America.
They also discovered that there was
night shelter for immigrants (Asile
de Multi in which the immigrants
were lodged for the night and a day
shelter (Asile de jour- where they
spent the day. This Asile de Jour was
opened by Russian Jews since the in
flux Of Jewish immigrants began, and
the Commissioners We're shocked when
they inspected the institution which
was located in a small store, with
broken windows and hardly any ac-
commodations for the refugees,

gency The Honorable Hugh Gibson,
American Minister to Poland, and Mr..
Mcbride, American Consul, received
the commission most cordially and
promised all the co operation posi-
Bile.
Begin Active Work in Poland.
The American representatives in
troduced Mr.. Kamaiky and Mr.. Mas
sci to the Minister of the Interior as
well as to the Chief of the Department
II immigration and Emigration, and
these, too, promised to help in the
work Of the Commission.
AS soon as the Warsaw office of
the Society was opened, it was be-
sieged by persons anxious to join
their relatives in America, and the
Commissioners were regarded as
messengers of good cheer who brought
greetings from their dear and near
ones in America AMI who would as
sist them to rejoin their fathers, hus-
bands and brothers in the United
States.
Facilitate Passport Procedure.
The work Of the Commission be-
came noticeable at once. Upon its
representations to the Polish authori-
ties, ruling was issued whereby pass
ports would be granted to applicants
in Warsaw within two or three days,
instead Of six to eight weeks, after
application was made, as was the
case before the Commission came to
Poland. They also came to an under.
standing with the American Consul
in virtue of which il was arranged
that all applications for visaes should
be filled out in the offices Of the
Commission. This increased the mum.
Der of visaes from fifty to five hun
dred a day, as the Commission had
twelve clerks assigned TO this duty.
Urge Facilitating Visae Prodecude.
Another important achievement Of
the Commission was that they pointed
out to the Consul that whereas a
goodly ninety percent Of the affidav-
its sent from America were lost in
the mails, a letter to a relative in Po-
land should be considered sufficient
proof of his or her American kin de-
string 10 tAke care Of him. Mr.. Nc
Bride gave the Commission authority
to obtain such letters and agreed to
grant visaes on the Commissions rec
concentration. In the case Of a wife, it
was arranged that letter from her
husband stating that he would send
her money for all expenses, would be
accepted as sufficient evidence in lieu
Of an affidavit.
The Commission also succeeded in
persuading the Consul that every
emigrant living outside Of Warsaw
should, instead Of coming in person,
be able to send by mail to the office
Of the Commission, his or her applied
ton for a visa, Polish passport and
other necessary documents, thus
sparing them the expense and hard
ship Of travelling to and from War
saw under the present conditions.
Both the Consul and the Ambassador
were very favorably impressed by
this suggestion and promised to ca
Bile the whole plan to Washington on
a recommendation for favorable ac'
ton.

The Commissioners next decided to
cable to the New York headquarters
of the Hebrew Sheltering and Immi-
grant Aid Society on behalf of the
emigrants who had trouble in receiv-
ing money from America, asking
them to communicate with the rela-
tives and request that the money be
sent at once. As soon as the remittan-
ces were received, the Commission
paid out dollar for dollar, in American
money.
While Mr.. Massel remained in War
saw, Mr.. Kamaiky went further in
land visiting cities and towns with Ii
considerable Jewish population, and
everywhere he found the need Of work
to help the would be emigrants to get
in touch with their American rela-
tives.
Opened Way to American Kin.
"The Commission opened the way
to America" the report concludes.
these people who have left to join
their relatives here and those who
are yet to come would have had to
wait weary, weary months before
they would ever have been able to
sail for the United States If it had
not been for the Intervention Of the
Commission.
The Impossible Accomplished.
1--WE were told that nothing could
be done that no trains would run
from Warsaw to Danzig, that there
were no steamer accommodations. The
Commission, however, thought that
what was considered as an impossi-
bility could become a reality, and it
has become a reality"
More Funds Required.
Mr.. Kamaiky estimates that the
work Of the Commission will last sew
eral years, contingent on American
Jewry's support. 1t will be necessary
to have representatives in Rotterdam.
in Antwerp and Havre, in fact in all
European port cities through which
Jewish emigrants travel. II will, too,
be essential to have travelling in
spectors. Besides, offices will have to
be opened in other cities besides War
saw, and for all this money, money,
and again money is necessary, money
which must be raised by the Jews OF
America.
Trained workers, American citizens
who are sympathetic, will have to be
sent out to aid in this gigantic task
in reconstructing Jewish family life.
Every family reunited is just so
many lives saved.

ian Labor.
This is but a preliminary report.
The work is going on without cessa-
ton. The Hebrew Sheltering and I'M
migrant Aid Society, and through
which the whole Of American Jewry
has reason to be proud Of having been
the means Of engaging in this human
itarian labor. The cry has been that
families must be reunited. The He
brew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid
Society needed the cry.

and were informed that a house had
been purchased for the purpose at No.
10 Rue Lamarck, and, before leaving
Paris, the commissioners had the sat-
isfaction Of seeing the new shelter
opened, which also became the Paris
headquarters Of the Hebrew Shelter
ing and Immigrant Aid Society.
They also did all in their power for
the four or five hundred young men
detained in Paris who were without
passports and succeeded, in a few
cases, in inducing the American Con-
sui to accept letters from relatives in
lieu Of affidavits.
1.-TWO particular cases. the report
reads, presented great difficulties.
One was that Of young man from
Roumania who was on the verge Of
committing suicide, and the other that
Of young woman with two children.
We wrote to the American Consul,
guaranteeing that our Society in New
York would take every care Of these
refugees. The head Of the passport
division was very kind and gave every
possible help in passing on these cas-
es."
The Passport Situation.
The report next goes into details
about the passport situation and gives
information which is essential to
every American Jew who has in mind
to help his wife, children or other near
relatives to come to this country. An
emigrant destined to the United
States must have his or her passport
visaed by an American Consul in the
country to which the emigrant owes
allegiance. Owing, however, to the
chaotic conditions which prevail in
Eastern Europe, many emigrants
could not possibly remain in Poland
until passports would be issued to
them, and went to France, Holland OF
Belgium without passports which
they finally obtained from the Polish
Consuls in these countries. The Am
erican Consuls then told them to re-
turn to Poland and have their pass
ports visaed by the United States
Consul there. Another difficulty that
stood in the way Of visaes was the re-
quirement that the prospective emf
grant present an affidavit from his
or her relative in America setting
forth the latter's ability and willing
ness to receive and take care Of the
emigrant as soon as he lands in AM
erica. This again, resulted in delay,
which at times lasted weeks, II not
months.
