JordanDirectorEncl.CABLE ADDRESSTÉLÉPHONEApril 1st, 1949.Canadian Jewish Congress2025 University StreetMontreal, CanadaIn answer to your letter of March 24, I believe that the fact that hardly any Jewish women are arriving in Canada under the DP domestic scheme can be accounted for by both lack of the opportunity for Jews on this scheme, and by the lack of available Jewish applicants who might qualify under the scheme.Attached, for your information, is a letter from our Rome office advising us of the arrival of the Canadian Team to select single women under this scheme.We will keep you informed of developments.Read automatically; may contain mistakes.
