Under terms of an agree- ment signed in Ciudad Trujillo, the refugees will settle immediately on 24,000 acres of land donated by Tru- §illo near Sosua, and will be granted g:ll cmzenshlp. The- settlers will clude both Jews and non-Jews. Not only will their entry fee be ‘waived, but they will be allowed to bring in equipment and tools duty free. The contract was signed in the presence of*James N.

The land contains gold, copper, iron, salt, coal and petroleum, but the mining industry is undeveloped, and it is hoped this is one of the industries which the refugees will help build up.

There are in- dications of harmony among un- ions that have been at odds. New union leaders in certain states will exercise wide influence. Congress will discuss strike problems which take on political colors. Ecomomy in relief projects will cause trouble, especially along the seaboards. International Affairs: Great eco- nomic problems will affect warring nations. Food and fuel scarcity will cause extreme suffering and re- duce ability to withstand winter epidemics which will be serious in the recently subjugated nations un- der the Swastika flag. Démands upon American agencies to *aid the ill and unfortunate will be great from across the seas, and large sums of money will be con- tributed from citizens of the United States.
