He also declared that the project doCs not aim at relieving principally the wealthier Jews of Germany or those who have retained some portion of their wealth, '."We have come here not with any cut and dried ,scheine prepared in advance,", he said, "but : we come here withsbme Meas-in; our triinds^ as to; what may .be practicable, but with everything fluid, only to consult with leaders of American Jewry, as to what plans can be publicly presented to'the people here, and In Europe and in. other countries." Declaring that ''Palestine will; prove to be the salvation,of a large proportion of the emigrants from Germany", and that ".we. have the good will of the British government, so , far, as possibilities for iinmigration exist in the various parts of the world under British administration or control,'' Sir Herbert emphasized that the plan will require large sums of money not as a matter of relief but for."a con¬ structive effort to solve, so far as it can be solved, this terrible German problem as a whole, -not presenting it merely as some charitable effort,,hut as a great constructiye policy, to withdi;aw the lat^ge part of the adult;.the younger:adult pop¬ ulation of Germany from the conditions which exist there arid establish thein .else- .where in the world."
