I should like to call your attention to the conclusions and
recommendations, especially those referring to Palestine. It
appears that the available certificates for immigration to
Palestine will be exhausted in the near future. It is suggested
in the report that the granting of an additional one hundred
thousand of such certificates would contribute greatly to a sound
solution for the future of Jews still in Germany and Austria, and
for other Jewish refugees who do not wish to remain where they are,
or who, for understandable reasons, do not desire to return to
their countries of origin.
On the basis of this and other information which has come to
me, I concur in the belief that no other single matter is so
Alpo
in
important for those who have known the horrors of concentration camps
for over a decade, as is the future of immigration possibilities
into Palestine.
The number of such persons who wish immigration to Palestine
or who would qualify for admission there is, unfortunately, no
longer as large as it was before the Nazis began their extermination
program.
As I said to you at Possdam, the American people, as a whole,
firmly believe that immigration into Palestine should not be closed,
