Post-war Refugee Immigration to U.S. Will Be Discussed at Nrs Annual Meeting

The future of refugee immigration to the United States after the war will be the primary topic to be considered at the annual meeting of the members and board of directors of the National Refugee Service to be held in New York on January 15 and 16, it was announced today by William Rosenwald, president of the organization. Several hundred leaders in the field of refugee assistance in the United States will attend the session, to be held in the Hotel Commodore, Mr. Rosenwald said. Quincy Howe, noted radio commentator and news analyst and Dr. Stephen Duggan, Director of the institute of International Education, will be guest speakers.

“Part of America’s contribution toward a stable peace will be the continued immigration and rehabilitation here of some of the people who will remain homeless and uprooted after the war,” Mr. Rosenwald said. “In this connection significant responsibilities will devolve upon the National Refugee Service. Our meeting next week will consider the policies and plans of the agency for the performance of this vital task.” A distinguished refugee, whose name is to be announced, is also expected to address the meeting on the subject of what American hospitality has meant to the newcomers. Speakers will include Professor Joseph P. Chamberlain, chairman of the board of directors, Charles Riegelman, chairman of the executive committee, Mr. Rosenwald, and Joseph E. Beck, executive director.
