German Jews Seek US Emigration Quota Plan
Berlin Jewish leaders urged Washington to advance emigration rights after Ernst von Rath's funeral. They proposed the United States mortgage the 27,000 annual German emigration quota for three years, taking 81,000 Jews immediately and splitting 50,000 for Palestine, with 100,000 more aged over 60 staying in Germany and others absorbed by colonial nations. A London official said Britain agreed to a similar plan. U.S. embassy officials in Berlin were summoned as Commerce interests appeared to waver on Germany.
