In many European countries there is no security of life and property
for Jews, and it is undoubtedly the fact that there are many hundreds
of thousands of Jews who, if they were free agents, would flee tomorrow
from the appalling persecution, torture and humiliation to which they
are subject in countries allied with or occupied by Germany. The forces
which create refugees in the mass are intensively active over the
greater part of Europe, and their inevitable tendency is to encourage
an outrush of Jews if and when this becomes possible. If a solution is
to be found of the refugee problem, it is absolutely essential that not
only should a stampede of this character

If, on the other hand, Jews are to continue to live in the European
countries of their nationality, and if other States are to be protected
against the economic and political disturbance which large incursions
would involve, then there must be adequate guarantees for the safety
and protection of life and property, for the restitution of their
rights as citizens, and for the peaceful enjoyment of those rights.
Discriminatory legislation must be annulled, and an end put to
administrative measures of discrimination. These guarantees must be
part of the peace treaty or equivalent settlement, and they must be
backed by the necessary sanctions. Without this, not only will the
immediate post-war situation be incapable of control, but the
conditions created by Germany from 1933 until the present time will be
perpetuated there and in other countries, and the Jewish refugee
problem will become insoluble  
                       and permanent.
