The Jews in the Argentine have organized a Jewish Social Vigilance Society, the aim of which is to cleanse Jewish life in the Argentine of the contamination of the white slave traffickers. Persons engaged in the white slave traffic are not admitted as members of synagogues and Jewish societies, but the organizers of the Vigilance Society feel that this is not sufficient.

Mr. Nomberg speaking at the inaugural meeting of the Society said that the time had arrived for Jewish social workers in the Argentine to purify the Jewish life of the country and to save it from the slur cast upon it by those who brought dishonor upon it by their nefarious trade.

The initiative taken by the society, Mr. Nomerbg said. has aroused great interest among the Jewish population who are anxious to take part in the work. Many prominent members of the community had written asking for membership and sending sums of money for its activity.
