Australia, Canada and other overseas countries may be in a position to admit a considerable number of Jewish farmers and agricultural workers from Carpatho-Ruthenia, it was announced today at a meeting of the Emigration Aid Committee for Carpatho-Ruthenian Jews. The committee announced also that it was negotiating with the Jewish Agency for Palestine and the British Colonial Office regarding a special allotment of immigration certificates for Zionist youths in the Hungarian territory.
Intervention with the Hungarian authorities on behalf of Jews ordered expelled from Carpatho-Ruthenia and others affected by anti-Jewish legislation has resulted in some alleviation of distress, the committee said. The committee has asked Sir Herbert Emerson, director of the Intergovernmental Refugee Committee, to place Carpatho-Ruthenia on its list of countries of emigration.
