Troper, European director of the Joint Distribution Committee, who arrived today on the Normandie on the eve of the opening of the New York Campaign of the United Jewish Appeal for Refugees and Overseas Needs.
” On the continent, Holland, Belgium, Switzerland and Franc are all doing their utmost but the potentialities of these communities are reaching a point where more help must come from abroad if refugees are not to go without the barest necessities in keeping bodies and solution of the problem once people rallied that the assets among the refugees far outweighed their possible liabilities that they will be a bonus to many countries and not an onus. It is a well-known fact that enterprising refugees have created employment possibilities in several countries and that experience with settling them in the depressed areas in England indicated some very promising results.”
