Obviously this was going to take a long period of time. but his was a longrange plan and his vision was equally as farsighted. Here is a quotation: After a 10year period it is. therefore. possible to envisage the evacuation of German Jewry. and the material diminution of the overcrowded Jewrles of eastern Europe. After a period of 15 years. one might say that a total solution of this problem presents itself on the basis of an emigration of 100.000 a year. rising to 200.000. When one knows the views of Lord Melchett and sees the practical demonstration of TelAviv. one can see the possibilities of the fulfillment of the psalm: Ride me from the secret council of the wicked. from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity. Lord Melchett was realistic enough to see that the Arabs who were there would be satisfied with nothing less than a complete repudiation and a tearing up of the mandate as far as the Jews were concerned. but he also pointed out the tremendous gains and benefits that have already been given to the Arabs by the modern settlements of the transported Jews.
