The steering committee of the Intergovernmental Refugee Committee met at the Quai d’Orsay today and received a firsthand account from George Rublee on his conversations in Berlin regarding emigration of Jews.
The steering committee met at 11:30 under the chairmanship of Lord Winterton. The committee members also discussed preparations for a meeting soon of the Intergovernmental committee at London. (At London diplomatic quarters predicted the committee meeting scheduled for this week would be postponed. Although concrete information was lacking, diplomatic observers believed the Berlin talks would continue on the bases already agreed upon by Rublee and Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, who was removed as president of the Reichsbank last Friday.)
