There was a fixed date by which time they had to be out of the country if they were leaving. You will find that in the early stages the refugees were largely Jews from Europe. Some wanted to go to Palestine to help build up Zion. Others were just seeking to escape Europe. But the great bulk of the refugees in recent months has been from the Arab countries. Almost all of the Jewish refugees and DPs in Germany. Austria. and Italy have been removed already. There are still Jewish communities. particularly in Rumania. Hungary. Poland. and Russia. whose members are seeking to go to Palestine. and. actually. from the standpoint of money involved. helping with refugees in Israel rather than providing -for them in DP camps. will cost less than we have been putting into the refugee problem through the IRO. something like $70.000.000 a year. That will not be needed after this year.
