The headquarters of UNRRA here today revealed that they have called upon Gen. Morgan for the full text of the statement on Polish Jews which he is reported to have made at Frankfort. A communique issued by the UNRRA office reads as follows:
“We have called for the full text of General Morgan’s statement. Until it is received at headquarters no comment is possible. The administration of UNRRA is aware of the well known fact that many persecuted displaced people, including Jews, desire to settle in other parts of the world, and wherever possible the administration desires to cooperate with the governments concerned in helping these people.
“In the meantime, the administration, mindful of the terrible suffering of these persecuted people, and in accordance with the policy laid down by the council of UNRRA, is doing everything possible to alleviate their distress until the governments concerned can make arrangements which will enable these persecuted people to make homes of their own.”
