4. Neutral countries should be asked to grant visas for Jews escaping from Hitler’s executioners; such visas to be valid for a period of two years.

5. The Allied Nations should send food to neutral countries, such as Turkey, Switzerland and Sweden, if they agree to grant asylum to Jewish refugees from Nazi lends.
