with 10 beds and a maternity
ward. These are available to
DominicanS and colonists alike. At
their CriStobal Colon elementary
school, the three RS are taught in
Spanish, English and Hebrew. And
all youngsters have free access to
secondary schools and the uni
versity.
The religious center of Sosua is
the synagogue, where not only are
services held at all times, but also
are children given regular inStruc-
ton in Hebrew and Jewish History.
Religious and racial prejudice have
no place whatsoever in the Domini-
can Republic.
It is significant to read a declara-
ton made by Trujillo when, about
six or seven years ago, the Sosua
settlers presented him with a
memorial scroll as token of their
esteem and appreciation.
"I am deeply grateful to my
dear friends, DR.. Rosenberg and
DR.. Hexter, for the Scroll which
they have given me, and / wish
to say that my admiration of the
Jews comes from the fact that they
are champions of the principles Of
humanity, justice, civilization,
brotherhood and progress.
Lately, the Dominican Republic
at the instance of its humblest
servant, that is, myself, has Of
fered to receive and is desirouS of
receiving 10000 to $4,000 people
who have been brutally prosecuted
by communism and who have fled
from the countries behind the Iron
Curtain. Any time there is COM
mission appointed by the United
Nations or other responsible body
to select appropriate places for
receiving such refugees, my gov
ernment will be delighted to well
come them, to work with them, and
to give them all the help that is
necessary so that they may make
a full study of the possibilities of
settlement in the Dominican Re-
public, just as DR.. Rosenberg did
Is years ago. Such settlers will be
welcomed and will, in due course,
be entitled to citizenship. can
state that there is ample room
for such settlers.
"Ours is a small country. So
was ancient Israel. So was Greece.
Perhaps from the small countries
can surge a spirit of human
brotherhood. It is in this spirit that
the Dominican Republic is ready to
open its doors to righteous and
honest people, who are ready to
work and become a constructive
part of the Dominican Republic
and of its internal life. Such men
and women will be welcomed with
settlers at SoSua.

a pilot plan, but it serves to show,

my country property located in
Sosua, Province of Puerto Plata,
has, as you have informed me,
been selected by DR.. Joseph A..
Rosen as an appropriate place for
settlement.
"This property, of about 26.6s5
acres contains twenty-four dwell
lingS. reservoirs and other install
lations for the accommodation OF
settlers. The property has 1850
acres of cultivated pasture and
large extent of virgin forest with
an abundance of valuable timber,
which represents for me an actual
investment of not less than 500, 900.
ITO repeat, I am deeply interest
ed in the realization of this settle
ment enterprise, because am
convinced that we must all CO.
operate within our possibilities for
the success of this humanitarian
and noble effort. 1t is, therefore,
my dear DIR. Rosenberg, my
pleasure to offer to the Refugee
Association, of which you are the
esteemed Chairman, my SoSua
property, as my personal contri-
button for the establishment there,
of the first refugee settlemnt in
the Dominican Republic"
Said DIR. Rosenberg: "The
Dominican Republic authorized all
its consulateS throughout Europe
to issue immigration visas to all
Jews who had succeeded in escap-
ing from the Nazi terror. These
visas were veritable life insurance
policies for more than 1000 souls. !"
Each homesteader was given
(not Sold) IS acres of fertile land,
upon which stood ready a frame
two-room dwelling, COW barn, and
other farm buildings. Each settler
received 10 cows, an extra cow
if he was married, and two ad-
ditional cows for each child. He
was also given a horse, a mule,
and a loan for miscellaneous needs.
Since that time the colony of
DORSA at Sosua has flourished.
They have a resort hotel, delica-
tessens, restaurants, poultry farms,
furniture and clothing manufac-
ture, haberdashery stores and a
tree nursery. Some have become
statesmen, entrepeneurs, exporters.
They produce sausages and cured
meats. They have a loan coopera-
tive that is, in effect, the communi-
ty bank.
The conductor of the Dominican
National Symphony Orchestra was
formerly professor of music in
Vienna. Several of the colonists
are at present teaching at the Uni
versity of Santo Domingo.
They have a hospital at SoSua,

conscientious, intelligent and hard
working people can do when a
government extends the hand of
friendship, welcomes them and
gives them help. Good citizens
are the most valuable assets a
country can have"
The displaced people who arrived
in SoSua Is years ago are living
prosperous, happy lives in the
new world they created for them
selves.

Gleeming in the golden Carlp-
bean sun, twin columns OF native
pink marble stand side by side
as a simple but meaningful monu-
ment on the shores of the Domini-
can Republic.
Unveiled about four years ago
these twin columns were inscribed
as a lasting monument to The
Open Door" Both bear bronze
tablets with identical inscriptions,
one in Spanish and the other in
English.
They say just this:
"The republic, in conformity with
its constitution and laws, hereby
guarantees to the settlers and their
descendants full opportunity to con-
tinue their lives and occupations
free from molestation, discrimina-
ton or persecution, with full free
dom of religion and religious cere-
monials, with equality OF opportuni-
ty and of civil, legal and economic
rights as well as all other rights
inherent to human beings.

DIR. Maurice B. Hexter and the
eternally grateful Dorsa settlers Oh

SIMPLE THOUGH these words
may be, their importance lies IN
the fact that they symbolized the
saving of 1000 Jewish lives.
They are the words of Article l
of a contract between the govern
ment of the Dominican Republic
and the Dominican Republic Settle
ment Association (DORSA), signed
on Jan. 80. 1910, and ratified py
the Dominican legislature wltnin
three weeks.
This was the answer of President
Trujillo to the bestial depredations
of the NaZi regime against all oI
European Jewry.
a wear or two before the out
break of World War II the late
President Roosevelt called togetner
az nations. whose representatives
met in France in 1888, to alleviate
the plight of those fleeing from
Nazi barbarities. 1t was at this con-
vocation that Trujillo opened wioe
the door of asylum to european
Jews. - ..rod

This was followed by visits from
II, s. government experts and also
by the Intergovernmental Commlt-
tee for Refuge and Spokesman 1or
the Jewish world community.
These groups unanimously select
cd the extensive property at Sosua
as the most advantageous place
for a first settlement. Located on
its north coast, it had an ocean
frontage of some 8 miles. AS II
turned out, these lands were tne
private property of the generallssl-
mo.
Without waiting for completion
of any contract or ratification OF

ment as his free gift, by addressing
to DR.. Rosenberg (head OF the re1u-
