Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain is considering a direct approach to President Roosevelt for Anglo-American cooperation in mass removal of Jews from Germany, the New York Times reported today from London. Hopes for emigration of Jews with capital have been given up as a result of the imposition of the billion-mark “fine,” Correspondent Ferdinand Kuhn said. The British plan is that governments and private citizens together would provide ships and money, that the British and United States Governments would ask the German Government’s help in arranging emigration and that temporary refuge camps might be established until permanent settlements could be found, the dispatch said.
