In view of reports which appeared last week in certain papers to the effect that the Government of Uruguay had decided to suspend immigration to Uruguay, the Management of the Hias-Ica-Emigdirekt (Hicem) though very doubtful about the correctness of the report, cabled to its office in Montevideo for the facts. A telegram has just been received in reply which states that the report is completely untrue and that there have been no restrictions and no changes whatever in regard to immigration to Uruguay. The country remains accessible to all emigrants who comply with the formalities required presenting a valid passport, medical certificate of health, certificate of moral conduct and a certificate of health, certificate of moral conduct and a certificate of qualification in their trade or profession.
On account, however, of the economic crisis which is affecting Uruguay as it is affecting all countries, it is possible at present only for artisans or skilled workers to find employment there.
