The News Chronicle today quoted “reliable Vatican quarters” as stating that one of eleven points in a peace plan prepared by Reichs-fuehrer Adolf Hitler provided for organizing Jewish emigration from Germany under British, Italian and French auspices.

The Rome dispatch said that, according to Hitler’s plan, Britain would be entrusted with Jewish emigration into Palestine, Italy with colonization of German Jews in East Africa and France with settlement in Madagascar.

Among other things, the German plan demands colonial rights in Africa, the News-Chronicle said.

(Other points in the proposed Hitler peace, according to a New York Times dispatch from Rome today, would provide for solution of minority problems in Poland and the entire Danube basin by a “vast transmigration of peoples,”and reconstitution of an independent Poland comprising primarily the central Polish zone with about 10,000,000 inhabitants. Another point provides for creation of a tripartite Czech, Slovak, Magyar State allied to the Reich.)
