A memorandum charging that Brazil, Chile, Venezuela and other Latin American countries are practicing discrimination against Jewish immigration was submitted today to the Conference on Migration which opens here tomorrow under the auspices of the United Nations and the International Labor Office.
The memorandum, presented by the World Jewish Congress, also point out that the Canadian commission selecting displaced persons for admission to Canada rejects Jewish applications from the Polish refugee camp Arusha. It also drews the attention of the Conference to the fact that Australian selective teams visiting DP areas have issued 1,400 immigration certificates to Balts and Poles, but not a single one to a Jewish displaced person.
The World Jewish Congress proposes in its memorandum, first, the exchange of information on immigration facilities through a clearing house for international organizations; and, second, the creation of advisory bodies within the appropriate U.N. agencies, such as the International Refuges Organization, for consultation with non-governmental bodies on immediate and long-range aspects of the migration problem.
