other parts of the world should also
not forget these immigrants.
AS those Immigrants land in IIa-
vaaa they have no relatives or Other
people that speak their language to
give them first aid they lind no fa-
cllities for following their customs in
regards to religion. There are hun
drcds of children that are in need of
preparation for the municipal schools.
There are no facilities for kashruth
such as they are accustomed to. Many
young girls need to be prepared for
work at n trade TO earn their own
living. There are many women that
give birth to children in the different
hospitals who are not able to speak
the language of the people around
them. and men and children also find
themselves sick and in the same con
ditiOns. There are physicians. den
fists, lawyers. etc. that must do man
ual labor on account of not being able
to speak the native language and ce,
the right of that country for ;hc prnc,
tiUe of their professions.
"The United States has always had
organizations for helping such people
and now. while immigrants are limited
in coming into America, they conccn-
trate themselves in Havana. where i,
would only he proper that each or
eanization have representative in
that city and establish branches there
as well as they established branches
in Europe. As soon as they woulu
make those immigrants sclf-suppor.ins
they would help the relatives in Eu-
rope direct.
There are charitable institutions
like the Baron Hirsch society and 9th
great deal of work in our country al
present by establishing schools foi
agricultural and industrial enterprises
that would benefit those immigrants in
becoming self-supporters. as well as
those who are investing with them. be
cause Cuba offers the best of Gem
mercial opportunities for the future.
Due to the present crisis those immi-
grants must have relief at once. and
if it were not for the Joint pistribu-
tiOn Committee supplying some linn
tied relief the situation would have
been worse.
Even those immigrants that arrived
with sufficient funds TO support them
selves also need assistance on account
of not being able to speak the Ian
guagc of the country and no. finding
any of their countrymen to assist
them.
Cuba never had Il population OF
Jews. and it would be an ideal place
for 5000 of them. providing they re-
ceivc assistance ut the beginnng. cSp"'
cally at the present time. when Cuba
is going through crisis on account
of the drop in sugar from 2i cent
to IL cents per pound.
I'VE need few good Schochtim.
continued Mr.. Jurick. and it is
strange that we are unable to get
them. And speaking of Schochtim,
he went on. Il think chicken farm
ing offers about the best opening for
| newcomers. Chickens bring good
/ prices: they are not hard to raise and
/ there is always a ready market for
them We need an organization like
the Industrial Removal Office or the
Baron de Hirsch Society not only to
locate these people on farms. but to
provide them for the first year or Sc
until the first crops mature and they
can get good start. It that even
tuates. then l am certain that Cuba
will eventually have large and pros
