Poland was desperately looking for a place to get rid of its Jews but how did Poland think that the Polish Jews were connected to Palestine in any way? Arab land became the removal place of the unwanted European Jews. How did the Polish people believe that the European Jews who look just like them but completely different from the people of the Middle East could have originated in the Middle East? Would they have believed it if the Nigerians had come and told them they originated in Norway? Nothing about the European Jews is Middle Eastern, absolutely nothing! These are a group of foreign European predators attaching themselves to a piece of Arab land and the Arabs must be determined to get rid of them.

He said that the President had asked him, during a recent conversation which the President had had with the Ambassador, to come to see me with regard to the problem of Jewish emigration from Poland. The Ambassador stated that from the conversations which Colonel Beck had recently had with the leaders of the Zionist movement at Geneva, prospects for canalizing emigration from Poland to Palestine were discouraging, and that, while Poland would still continue to try to work out some plan for continued Polish emigration to Palestine as the basis for their present policy, his Government was very anxious to find other fields where Jewish emigrants from Poland could be settled. He said that the Polish Government had sent commissions to Madagascar, South Africa, East Africa and Australia, but had been able to find no willingness on the part of those governments to encourage Polish Jewish immigration.
