The Dominican Republic Settlement Association, aided by the Intergovernmental Committee on Refugees and the State Department, is seeking to make arrangements with a Government agency, presumably the Shipping Board, to charter an American ship to transport the first group of refugee settlers from an Italian port to the Dominican Republic, it was learned today.
Dominican Minister Andres Pastoriza made public a cablegram from his Government reporting action of the Congress and stating that the “Dominican people enthusiastically await the beginning of the settlement.”
