The judge emphasized that the laws In Argentina permit a change when the^ original name causes Inconvenience to Ita bearer. We forget that millions are now dead who might have been alive, if they'd had the opportunity to come here." He stressed the fact that any delay iii Immigralion would jeopardize the lives of tens of thou.sands of Jews. The people of Israel consider free and unlimited immigration the major reason for the exist¬ ence of their state, the UJA Nat¬ ional Campaign Chairman said- He drew attention to the fact that the Jews of Israel are carrying the major portion of the burden of immigration through taxajftm hy the Government of Israel and through voluntary contributions to the UJA-supported agencies In Israel.
