Speaker. the question of the plight of the Jews of Europe has been discussed on the floor of this House before. If I bring it up again at this time. it is because the one practical. immediate step which can be taken to save the millions of Jews still left in Europe is shortly to be prohibited. It is because the Chamberlain White Paper of 1939. which goes into effect on March 31. 1944just 66 days from nowwould bar all new Jewish immigration into Palestinethe one .country which is anxious to receive the shattered remnants of European Jewry. At this very moment millions of oppressed and persecuted Jews are imploring the civilized world to provide.them with a means of escape from their Axis inquisitors. German troops take time off to murder every surviving Jewish person as they fall back to the borders of prewar Germany. and it has become increasingly apparent that it will take too long for any new agency to do an effective job of saving these hapless people.
