Immediate action Is Imperative if the remaining two millions of our brethren trap¬ ped in the .satellite Balkan states are to he rescued from death", and demands that the doors of Palestine be openetl to the thous¬ ands straggling acro.ss borders to escape the inevitable fate of all .Jews under Nazi rule.

"Trapped In the path yf the re¬ treating enemy, these .Jewish remnants of otir people cry oul for immediate rescue and re¬ demption. Many can he wrested from the clutches of tho Nazi executioner. Not a moment must be lost to effect their rescue.
"Despite the limitations of the White I'aper anil In the face of the frenzied cruelty of those who would destroy otu- people utter¬ ly and forever, we must not re¬ lax even for a single moment oin- efforts to sase them. The doors of our ancestral hoitieland must be opened wide to our persecut¬ ed people,
"The creation of the War Refu¬ gee lioard hy the I'resident of our country, followed by his statement disavowing the White Paper, is a gratifying expression Af .sympathy on the part of the leader of oin- country. However, as the war [jroceeds to its vic¬ torious climax, the enemy has become more ruthless in pur¬ suit of Ills extermination policy and more cruel in his persecu¬ tion, Aclion, immediate aclion, is imperative if the lives of the remaining tw-j millions of our brelhren trapped in the satellite Balkan slates are lo be rescued from death".
