As a natural result of restrictive im migration legislation in the United States, vast numbers of oppressed Jews in lands abroad sought a refuge else where. Because of the proximity of Mexico to the United States, very con siderable numbers emigrated to that country, many of them doubtless with the hope of sooner or later in one way or another crossing the border. Of course, they were poverty-stric ken and destitute. They found none to help them in Mexico, for the Jews in that country were few in number and totally unorganized. The new comers increased and their desolation grew apace. One Jewish organization in America after another was appealed to hut all to no effect. Finally B'nai B'rith, though it real ized that other bodies were better epuipped for the service, resolved to secure its unfortunate brethren and also prevent a Hillul Ha Shem by re moving the temptation to smuggle themselves into this country, and for eight years B'nai B’rith has maintained a bureau in Mexico City with a social center, a supervisor, hospital, medical director, temporary shelter, and above all, a sympathetic and attentive atti tude toward the struggling thousands in a new land.

Another growing chapter in the his tory of B’nai B'rith will come to a natural end within the next two years when the last of 600 children, orphans of the World War adopted by lodges of the Order, will have reached the age limit set for their support. Each child was placed in direct contact with the Lodge which became its foster parent so that the relationship was in the nature of a personal one. The Order maintains an Emergency Relief Fund, calls upon which, though fortunately infrequent in recent years, are promptly met. In the Palestine disturbances a year ago, B'nai B’rith contributed through the Palestine Re lief Fund, and the subordinate lodges and individual members aided materi ally in providing that relief. B’nai B’rith maintains definite con tacts and activities in Palestine through its local lodges there.
