The 15,000,000 Jews of Germany and Central Europe must get out, Dr. Alfred Rosenberg said here last night, and should be “penned in a reservation” in some sparsely populated part of the world. The Nazi doctrinarian, lecturing a party gathering as Chancellor Adolf Hitler’s personal representative, declared a Jewish national state was out of the question, because that would mean diplomatic embarrassment to other countries.

He put it up to the powers which own thinly inhabited regions — Britain, the United States, France and the Netherlands — to decide among them whether the Jews should be settled in Guiana, Madagascar or elsewhere.
