As you know. one of the major problems that UNRRA has had to face is the disposition of the hundreds of thousands of displaced persons. At the center of this problem is what might be called a hard core of some one hundred thousand homeless Jews. The reopening of Palestine and the removal of immigration restrictions presents a partial. immediate solution to that problem. Palestine has Indicated her willingness and ability to absorb these people. There is already a wellestablished economy and a large Jewish community. There is room for expansion in both industrial and agritultural development. I believe that our Government and its representatives should take a firm stand In advocating the removal of immigration restrictions. In so doing. however. I think it even more important that we do not glibly propose and sponsor such a course merely as an easy answer to a troublesome problem.
