Urging Rescue of Jewish DPs

from camp& in the American zone of Germany,
and actually begin moving them, moving them
closer at least to their permanent homes. Car-
avans could be organized, fully equipped with
the necessary food and medical supplies and
with adequate personnel to carry out a safe
journey, for the purpose of moving these Jews
to a port on the Mediterranean. They might
be moved, for example, to some port in South-
ern Italy.
America must continue to maintain its moral
leadership in this weary world, even though
it may seem at first glance that others are pre-
pared to shirk their moral responsibilities.
2--Property assistance from Germany.
The resettlement of the Jews of Europe, in-
cluding the immediate resettlement of 100,000
Jews in Palestine, will require financial and
economic assistance. A part of this assist-
ance, if not a large part, might well come from
Germany itself. I know of no more appro-
priate source from which to obtain resources
necessary to rebuild the shattered lives of these
victims than from the very nation which shat-
tered their lives.
It would be my suggestion that Gen. Mc-
Narney be authorized to permit the immediate
shipment out of the American zone of Ger-
-many* of such resources as the appropriate
authorities of this government deem necessary
for the resettlement of the Jews in the Amer-
., ican zone of Germany. It may be noted that
the over-all economic burden on the American
zone which the resettlement of these Jews
elsewhere would relieve would be far greater
than the burden resulting from using resources
in "the American zone for such resettlement.
In taking such resources from the American
zone, it could be stipulated that it would be
determined later whether they would be ac-
counted for as reparations, restitution or as an
export.
3—Open the doors all over the world.
In addition to the 100,000 Jews which you
recommended about a year ago should be
moved immediately to Palestine, a recom-
mendation which was later concurred in by
the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry,
there are well over 1,000,000 surviving Jews in
Europe. A program should also be under-
taken at once to deal with the even larger
problem of finding homes for the 1,000,000
remaining.
I suggest that consideration be given to the
immediate convocation of representatives of
all the United Nations, either through the UN
or otherwise, for the specific purpose of meet-
ing this problem at once. There is no reason
whatsoever why 500,000 to 1,000,000. Jews
could not be resettled within one year in
countries where they can live in peace and
dignity.
, The U. S. can and must do its share toward
this end. It is indeed fitting that this great
Nation, which from its inception has been a
refuge for the fugitive from injustice, oppres-
sion and persecution, should furnish to the
broken survivors of Hitlerism the sanctum and
asylum which since biblical times have been
afforded the defenseless by civilized peoples.
All of us have been thrown into the melting
pot of freedom and all of us have emerged
Americans.
