A secret Foreign Office document expressed the hope that all German Jews would be "stuck at the mouth of the Danube for lack of ships to take them." At the height of the war, the government refused to allow into Britain even a few hundred extra Jews who might excape from the Nazis, despite a plea by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Gilbert is no less critical of. Britain's extraordinary decision in November 1947 to curtail the trials of Nazi war criminals and to en- courage short sentences. "If sentences err on the side of leniency that is a fault on the right side," one official is quoted as saying. That Gilbert's findings are not an isolated reading of the pre-war period is borne out by another study, just published here, of 'American attitudes towards refugees from Hitler. Writ- ing in "Patterns of Pre- judice," issued by the Insti- tute of Jewish Affairs, Michael Maschberg, an American scholar, con- cludes that racial prejudice was one of the principal reasons for America's inac- Maccabia Film NEW YORK — A new BASIC SHARE ACCOUNT One of these fine plans suits you. Zionism. To the extent that they vindicate the anti- British, anti-Weizmann school of Zionist thought, they could even be termed "revisionist," but with a small "r." It was in the course of his Churchill researches that Gilbert found much of the documentation on Britain's foreign policy during the 1930's and 1940's. It sheds new light on day-to-day British pressure to prevent Jews from escaping from Europe both during the Hi- tler years and after the war. Here are some chilling examples: Only six months before the war, Britain and the United States asked Hitler Germany to "discourage" Jewish travel in ships bound for Palestine and "to check unauthorized emig- ration" of Jews from the Reich.

Maschberg's findings add new weight to the conclusions reached, 10 years ago, by the late Ar- thur Morse, in his book "While Six Million Died." Maschberg writes: "Although some in the United States government attempted to save the re- mnant of European Jewry in 1944 and 1945, they were restricted and checked by an almost universal pattern of prejudice. "The attempts to save European Jews were stymied by all concerned nations, both Allied and Axis: the Germans wanted to kill Jews; the Poles, Hun- garians, Romanians and others helped; whereas the Allied and neutral coun- tries refused to permit large scale rescue operations or to allow the persecuted Jews entry for temporary reset- tlement. "Britain, for example, re- fused to' grant asylum to more than a few Hunga- rians and other Jews in Palestine with full know- ledge that such denial meant extermination for each Jew left in Nazi- occupied Europe. "France and the United States respectably li- mited their refuge to a few thousand souls in North Africa and America. With little or no help from the non-Axis countries the machinery in the death camps con- tinued unabated . . ."
