to our shores from Europe before
1914, while the total number of
Germans reaching here since Hit
ler's rise to power in 1888 is only
$4,000.
But though comparatively small
in numbers, the present immigra-
ton creates a big problem because
it is forced. People have been torn
up by the roots and hurled out
into the world unprepared for the
revolutionary Overturn in their
lives, stripped of every possession.
They must be rehabilitated, re-
trained for new occupations, in
many cases supported or partly
supported for some time, if posi-
BILE reSettled outside New York.
All this must be done while they
are adjusting themselves to a
new nationality and new ways of
life, learning a new language, re-
covering from the psychological
effects of narrowing experiences
in German ghettOes or cOncentra-
ton camps.
In less than a year since it be-
gan operating, the National Re-
fugee Service has expanded to oc-
cupy five floors. Every week about
5000 people come to it's offices
for help: refugees seeking aid,
guidance, information or just COM
pany, and Americans anxious
about relatives and friends trapped
in the Nazi domain or fleeing from
it.
1t has an enormous filing room
of refugee facts and problems, en-
plOyS scores of trained social
workers, uses the services of thou
sands of volunteers and commit
tee members all over the country,
has the cooperation of dozens of

the refugees, most of which re-
port to it on the individuals with
whom they deal, so that it is a
central clearing house" of refu-
gee information.
It works closely with the Amer
lean Committee for Christian Re-
fugees, the American Friends Ser
vice Committee, and the Commit
tee for Catholic Refugees from
Germany. 1t is spending $3,500,000
on its work this year, the largest
part for cash assistance.
The chief object of the Organi-
zatiOn's activities, according to
DIR. William Haber, its executive
director, is to work itself out of
existence.
II want to liquidate my job as
fast as possible" said DR.. Haber,
an economics professor on leave
from the University of Michigan
and former Emergency Relief Di-
rector of that State.
But that depends, he pointed
out, not primarily on the agencies
caring for refugees, but on the
whim of AdOlph Hitler.
The key department of the Ma
tional Refugee Service is the re-
settlement department, whose
function, stated badly, is to get
the refugees out of New York.
from the day after he arrives, the
immigrant has it drumed into him
at every turn that he has a better
chance for adjustment, to settle
down with a decent livelihood, and
is less likely to arouse hostility
against himself, and others, by
moving away from the city.
The walls of the National Refu-
gee Service offices are plastered
with posters captiOned ''New York
is big-America is bigger" 1t is
necessary to overcome the natural
tendency of immigrants to clus-
ter together into little foreign
communities, thus retarding their
adjustment and AmericanizatiOn.
The resettlement department has
stimulated the formation of hun
dredS of local, State and regional
committees throughout the cOun-
try, each of which regularly or
occasionally reports possibilities
for refugees to settle in its COM
munity or region.
The existence OF this depart
ment, king systematically
through trained field workers COW
ering the whole United States and
case workers in New York, marks
one of the notable differences be-
tween the modern methods of
dealing with immigration now be-
ing employed, and the methods

or lack of method-in the past.
It's success is indicated by the
movement away from New York
of $50 to 300 refugee families
monthly, about 500 individuals.
The reSettlement department,
with its emphasis and dependence
upon voluntary community re-
spOnsibility is symbolic of the en-
tire underlying motif of this
streamIined organization for deal
ing with the problem Hitler has
fOisted on America along with the
rest of the world. 1t would be
easy to shrug shoulders and say
that the refugees are really no
problem, that they or their chill
dren will become part of the
American scene just as millions
of previous immigrants have. But
the National Refugee Service is
not ducking the issue. The refu-
gee, to this organization, is a
problem until he is no longer a
refugee, but an American.

twenties was history that had taken place
when they were kids. They had taken unern
ployment almost for granted. But now they
began to wonder Was their generation
stuck with an unsolved problem, handed
down by its elders:
BACK at the university, finally, to study
for their PhD. degrees, they began to hunt
for the low-down on jobs. They found many
statements unsupported by facts; many sup
ported by only few facts. They found Leftist
arguments that the only cure for unemploy-
ment was to scrap the capitalist system, and
Rghtist arguments that the only cure was to
scrap the New Deal They found inspirational
ballyhoo that sounded good but was, to
sharp-minded debaters, obviously fallacious.
But to their surprise, they could find few
traces of thorough. systematic research studies

from which foolproof conclusions about jobs
could be drawn In this age Of research, the
country's biggest social problem was being
handled mainly by guesswork! That was
when the two young men began to see real
job to be DONE
They didn't bang into it blindy, head on.
They saw that it was too big a job for that. 1t
called for careful preparation, good equip
ment. So, by earning money in summers and
odd moments, they entered the University OF
Chicago for specialized training. Spencer took
sociology, specializing in labor. Burns took
economics. In three years they figured they
were ready. That was less than two years ago.
and already their organization is impressively
successful. As the years 60 by, its founders
will very likely make lot OF money But

that excuse for hunting down facts, l suspect
that they would find another. 1t is virtually
crusade with them. They are impelled by one
all-important question: how are we to make
real progress - as individuals or as a people
unless we kno,C what we are up against
That question, as related to jobs. began to
form in their minds back in 1884. They were
lust two young men then, talking their way
around the world, literally. At the University
of Washington, from which they had just
been graduated, they had been star debaters.
And on this world tour they had been debat-
ing all corners - in Japan. in China, IN Aus
trala. Back in the United States they were
debating their way westward across the coun-
try, talking at colleges, academies high schools,
Rotary Clubs, Chambers of Commerce. And
wherever they went, they found the job prob
lem monopolizing all conversation. Young
sters were wondering where they could get
jobs Many older people were, too, and the
rest were worried because 50 many were idle.
Spencer and Burns had been mere lads
