The contributions that refugees have made to the American war effort were emphasized here today at the annual meeting of the National Refugee Service at the Hotel Commodore.

Felix S. Cohen, Assistant Solicitor of the Department of the Interior, spoke on the "Economic Consequences of the Recent Immigration," pointing out how the immigrants have benefitted the country. Prof. Henky M. Busch, executive director of the National Committee on Postwar Immigration Policy, warned that facts rather than propaganda must be considered in developing a post-war immigration policy. Other speakers included Joseph E. Beck, director of the NRS, and Dr. Jcachim Prinz, a leader of German Jewry in pre-Hitler days.
