“Careful sympathetic consideration” of the problem of refugee Jewish physicians was asked today by the Journal of the American Medical Association in an editorial which warned of the “difficulties arising from economic stress” and “chauvinistic prejudices.”
“The problem is increasing,” the editorial said, pointing to the following increases in immigration of physicians: For 1928 — Austria, 3, Germany, 22, and Italy, 11; for eight months of 1938 — Austria, 62, Germany, 302, and Italy 26.
