46. Uruguayan Foreign Office states it has been approached by local Jewish committee with request to permit entry into Uruguay of several hundred Jewish refugee children, the committee claiming that the United States Government has acceded to a similar request made by Jewish committees in the United States. Foreign Office would appreciate confirmation of above before taking action.
