Obstacles that would take years and millions of dollars to overcome present themselves in relation to every proposal. As an example. British Guiana that only a few years ago was found by a responsible commission as impractical for the settlement of Assyrian refugees. some poor people who had been driven by the Fascist government out of Abyssinia. is now seriously advanced as a haven for the Jew. I submit it is unjust and cruel to propose these willothewisps for a people that is now sunk to the lowest depths of despair. It is dishonest seriously to talk about proposals that will take years and years and years to develop while what is needed to relieve the present inhuman situation is to find for the Jews homes today.
