Jewish immigration is welcomed by Uruguay, according to the Spanish political leader, Chose Mara Guarnido.
In an article he published in several papers here, Senor Guarnido states: “A source of Jewish energy, initiative, industry and orderliness, will be founded everywhere where the Jews will settle. There is room in Uruguay for many thousands of productive imgrants. The Jewish immigration will fill up the empty spaces in the fruitful fields of Uruguay.”
An interview between the Uruguay Minister for Labor, Senor Cesare MaJo Gutieres, and the Uruguay representative of the Hias-Emigdirekt (Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society-United Jewish Emigration Committee) concerning the Government’s attitude to Jewish immigration is published here by the Govemment organ “El Dia.”
Senor Gutieres was greatly interested in the activities of the Hias-Emigdirekt in Uruguay and was particularly anxious to know the facts about the recently organized immigrants’ Employment Bureau. The intention of the Hias-Emigdirekt to provide employment for the newly-arrived Jewish immigrants is of the greatest importance, the Minister observed. He hoped that the Jewish immigration would promote the economic development of Uruguay.
