An increase in the number of Jewish refugees arriving in Mexico is reported from the Independent Order B’nai B’rith representative in Mexico City, to the headquarters of the Order here.
Within the past few weeks there has been an increase in the number of Jews at Vera Cruz by the arrival of 200 Syrian Jews and 75 from Poland. The number of Syrian Jews in Vera Cruz is likely to become very large because since the beginning of this year there has been a steady flow of Syrian immigration; 900 arrived on three boats, the report stated.
J. L. Weinberger, the representative at Mexico City, states that the situation of the Jewish immigrants, which he investigated recently, has become very critical. One of the most important needs of the immigrants are facilities for religious services. Steps are being taken by the I. O. B. B. to supply these needs, it was stated here.
