The threat of anti-Semitism is still a matter of concern to the 450,000 Jews of Argentina, Dr. Leon Perez, vice-president of the DAIA, the representative organization of Argentine Jewry, said here today in a report to the American section of the World Jewish Congress. The DAIA is an affiliate of the World Jewish Congress.
Dr. Perez warned that social and economic problems of Latin America might lead to local explosive situations which, in turn, would have their effect on the respective Jewish communities. He said his organization was particularly concerned with the future of its youth.
