Ask our military tacticians about its importance. Ask our economic experts as to its position in the defense of our dwindling trade in South America. If we are honest in our search for a haven for refugees which we cannot absorb. let us examine those islands which for 300 years have been not only a haven but a heaven for the Jews of Portugal and Spain. In fact from these islands they have sent missionaries to the United States and have endowed synagogues in our cities. Let us look at the subject with frankness. and with a sense of realism: Curagao sits as a sentinel in the crossroads of the Caribbean. athwart the sea and air routes between South America and our eastern seaboard.
