Mr. President. on several occasions during the past 26 months I have spoken on the floor of the Senate and elsewhere in an effort to help relieve the tragic distress of the surviving Jews of Europe. From time to time during the official life of the so .called white paper. restricting Jewish immigration into Palestine to a pitiable 10.000 refugees a year. I showed how. as a result of the operations of this document. Hitler was enabled to exterminate in Europe more than 10.000 Jews a day. or as many persons every day as were .permitted under this British white paper to find an asylum in Palestine in a year.
