Departm~nt 1 s circular ai~gram of, Ap:J:"il 20~. 1944, 7:35 p oiDo - concerning refugee children under 16-years of age;

The matter was di~cuased with the Minister for Foreign Affairs this niorning._ ll.e ilppeer.ed to be personally sympathetic to the _aug=

. gestion, but stated that ·de~ is ion 'must rest with_Presideht Carias,­whon! Jie • p'rO_lJjl:aed to consult.

_ (M j;l!e Department is aware, all matters of: any iJ1lrtirt$:ce. are refl)rred t.o President Caries.)

Aacording to the official census of 1940, some 52 o4 percent of all Hondurans oYer 7 years of age are illiterate; and 54~5 percent , of the total population are :Uleg:lt1mate. These feats, coupled with the gener!ll povm·ty, result in an enormous number of neglected children; in fact, I l•a-ve never seen any country vthere 'children receive less· care and attention. Some years ago a (!,roup of chm•itable women fuunded an orphanage known as the "Case del Nino", where inmates now nw~ber 69, all under 13 years of age" 1'his Institution receives a runal.l subsidy from the Government, but is, of co\ll'se, unaole t_o care for more than--a very small percentage of the needy children.

T..eaders of the Honduran J'ewich residents (thore are approximately 185 J'ewish refugees in Honduras) state that they are withou·t _financial resouroee to care for addl.tional children, but that they could- possibly undertake ·to do so (perhaps in an orphanage which might be established) at a cost of S!Jproximately 20 to 25 U.S. clollars per child per month, They state thAt there would be little future for refugee children in Honduras, ainaa eduaational faailHiee are very limited and economic opportunit iee 1'or parsons without o_apital m•e said to be lacking,

In order to a®oura anything like a favorablo reooption ·towards the suggootion contained in the Department •s aire;ram under reteronoo, it will be necessary to prepare tho sround carefully in the ~exioan Government and among the highest offioialll, I am taking thfil appropriate steps to this end and I pel;'sonally shall not fail to discuss this matter.

.... _·:;\· Enclosure ho• 2c to· despatch no~ 474}, dated August 29, 194lJ.,,froin American Embnss;~r, Montevideo, ·urug'~ay. _ ·

The Department of State has authorized the consular officers of the United States in Sl'iitzerland to-issue up.· to 41 000 immigration visas to refugee children up.to . sixteen years of age, under exceptionally liberal·eondi­tions. The purpose of this authorization is to fa~ili­tate the escape to Seitzerland of orphaned or abandoned children b;~r giving assurances to the Swiss Government that these children will not remain in Switzerland after .. the termination of hostilities in Europe. The aut!io!';i.za::.C tiqn containsprovisionsfpr the continued renewal of tlie visas· until-sucn 'time: as adequate transportation . facilities to• the· urp.:teci's.tates .. becgme · a·~ai·lable" ,-~:=~

If there are ptivate agencies J.n Uruguay willing and able to ·undertake a program for -the care of ref·ugee children, the ':iar Refugee Board is confident that it can make arrangements to provide those agencies with adequate funds for the maintenance, education and welfare of. as many children as the Government· of Uruguay will be willing to admit. S~1ould it prove necessary,· · funds would undoubtedly be available to Jneet transporta­tion expens0s fro:;, Switz8rland to Uruc;uay.. It is· con­servatively estimated that there are in France, alono eight to ten thousand abandoned or ,orphaned ·rOfl)goe ~­children•

If the Uruguayan Government should pe willing to take similar action it is requested that it give assut-. ances to the Svdss Government, through its diplomatic mission in Bern, that it will accept up to a fixed number of refugee children in a mariner similar to that of the Government of the United States. It is further requested that the Ministry· of Foreign Affairs authorize its Chief of Mission in Born to issue tho appropriate number of immigration visas and to maintain their validit;_; until suitable transportation facilities from S1·dtzorland to' Uruguay become available. The special representative of the Yiar Refugee Board attached to tho American Lega­tion in Bern will be glad to cooperate \'r.i.th tho Uruguayan diploma tic and consular officers in this as well as . in: all. other refugee matters. ·
