A recommendation to the governments to bring about a real improvement in the lives and prospects of refugees. Orderly immigration should replace disorderly exodus and emigrants should be able to take their possessions and property. United Kingdom accepts both resolutions. Palestine cannot be completely opened to Jewish refugees, because it is not a large country and special considerations arise out of the terms of the Mandate as well as out of local situation, which it is impossible to ignore. Difficulties in Palestine have led to proposals for drastic changes in the political structure of ...

Private organizations have until now taken care of refugees as well as conducted research about their numbers. The financing of refugees shall happen with loans from government and private funds.

A letter regarding the Zionists' wish to bring before the Evian Conference the whole Jewish problem and their pressure for the opening of Palestine for larger Jewish emigration. The American government is calling the conference primarily to deal with the problem of refugees from Germany and Austria rather than with a purely Jewish problem. There is no point of turning conference into a Jewish problem and it is better to focus on non-Aryan victims in Austria. According to Bentwich, it seems to be a pity that they Zionist should at this moment stress the need for a much greater immigration in...
