Mr. President. Chamberlain imposed this restriction on Jewish immigration into the one country which had been set aside by the Versailles Treaty as a Jewish homeland at a time when it was more necessary than ever in the worlds history for the unfortunate Jews of Europe to find a haven of refuge. A few months after promulgation of the white paper. Hitler proved to Chamberlain the futility of all his appeasement policies. The need for unrestricted immigration into Palestine then was greater than ever before because with the advent of the formal state of war. Hitlers atrocities against the Jews increased onehundredfold. Protests against the application of the white paper were renewed but the British excuse then was that tampering with the whitepaper policy might inflame the Arabs and upset the progress of the war in Africa and the Near East.
