made as soon as possible to settle it.
2.
The aim of His Majesty's Government is to try and
get a satisfactory long-term settlement to be submitted to the
United Nations Organisation under the trusteeship system.

to study and report (a) on the position in future of the Jews
in British and American occupied Europe, and (b) the possi-

into other countries outside Europe (including Palestine).
5.

all the Jews or the bulk of them must necessarily leave Germany,
and still less Europe. That would be to accept Hitler's thesis.
