by a Royal Commission on
the West Indies, despite the
fact that British Jewry in
the meantime pledged to fi-
nance the settlement of the
500 refugees.
MacDonald himself had
his own reservations about
the British Guiana plan,
telling a Cabinet committee
that he was "afraid that
when the refugee settlers
became British subjects (i.e.
after five years) they would
acquire the right to migrate
into the United Kingdom if
they wished."
Hostility to accepting
Jewish refugees anywhere
was voiced by A.W.G. Ran-
dall of the Foreign Office
when commenting on some
300 European Jews whom
the government of Cyprus
refused to admit even on a
temporary basis: "It is un-
thinkable that a miscel-
laneous crowd of Jews could
be admitted to any other
part of the empire," he said
on June 1, 1939.
Burma and Southern
Rhodesia were two more
British possessions con-
sidered as possible
sanctuaries. Although
Foreign Office officials
like Sir Alexander Cado-
gan (later to be Britain's
representative at the Un-
ited Nations) favored
opening the doors, the
idea was turned down at
other levels.
Thus, on March 3, 1939,

vent Jews from leaving
Europe on the eve of World
War II show that there was
strong opposition to the in-
flux of Jews not only into
Palestine but throughout
the British Empire in places
as far apart as Burma and
the West Indies.
The evidence has been
collated in an article by
Martin Gilbert, the histo-
rian and biographer of Sir
Winston Churchill, who
concludes that lack of sym-
pathy towards Jewish re-
fugees in the Home Office
and the Foreign Office was a
major factor in the ultimate
fate of many European
Jews.
His article appears in the
1978 issue of the Zionist
Year Book, published by the
Zionist Federation of Great
Britain and Ireland and
edited by Jane Moonman,
and deals with British pol-
icy towards Jewish refugees
between May and Sep-
tember, 1939.
The idea of admitting
Jews to various parts of
the empire was sup-
ported by Malcolm Mac-
Donald who, as colonial
secretary, was architect
of the White Paper limit-
ing the number of entry
certificates to Palestine
in order to appease the
Arabs.
One of the alternative
havens suggested was
British Guiana, where 500
Jewish families would have
been admitted. Objections
were raised first by the
Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, Sir John Simon,
who said it would be an un-
acceptable burden on the
British taxpayer and later
ice
of the indigenous races con-
cerned."
On March 13, 1939, the
governor of Southern
Rhodesia explained to the
British Consul-General in
Alexandria: "My govern-
ment regrets they are un-
able to accede to request of
the sixteen German Jews
mentioned in your telegram
to migrate to this colony.
Capacity of Southern
Rhodesia for absorbing
aliens is definitely limited."
To illustrate the attitude
shown by some British offi-
cials, Gilbert quotes
another Foreign Office offi-
cial, Roger Makins, who
stated on April 5, 1939:
"Polish Jews will be less
welcome as immigrants in
the colonial empire than
any other class." Patrick
Reilly added (on April 26,
1939) that some of the re-
fugees were "definitely
criminals or spies."
As for the organizers of
the growing illegal im-
migration traffic, a
Foreign Office note,
dated July 10, 1939, said
that it was "as fundamen-
tally anti-social as the
German persecution of
which they complain."
Another official said the
illegal immigration was
largely the work of Re-
visionists, doing it partly
for political reasons and
partly for the "heavy
fares charged."
Gilbert concludes: "Not
only followers of (Zeev)
Jabotinsky (leader of the
Zionist Revisionist Move-
ment), but Jews of no par-
ticular political affiliation,
could be pardoned if the
cynicism revealed by com-
ments such as these were to
induce anger, bitterness, or
even, at times, despair."

Jewish community. He
said, "What we have
learned in more than
three years of providing
services is the extent of
the myth of Jewish afflu-
ence. In New York City,
for example, 15 percent of
the Jews are poor, a sub-
stantial number of work-
ing age. The New York
Times recently reported
that in some sections of
the Jewish community,
namely Orthodox
Hasidic Jews, un-
employment was as high
as 18 percent Jews also
suffered more than other
groups because of their
substantially higher liv-
ing costs such as for
kosher foods. Once
again, CETA proved to be
a lifesaver in this situa-
tion and continues to be a
source of hope and prac-
tical assistance to an
ethnic community to
overcome a problem to
which it was not accus-
tomed."
In addition, the Agudath
