JEWISH MIGRATION
THE ANGOLA PROPOSALS.
NO AIASS SETTLEAIENT
LONDON, Alay 11
A message from Lisbon states that the Portuguese Government has issued an official denial to the statement alleging that it .regarded with approval a proposed scheme for the settlement of 5,000,000 Jews in Angola, Portuguese East Africa. The statement declares that while the Government will encourage the immigration of individuals, it will not in any circumstances, consider mass settlement.
The High Commissioner for German Refugees appointed by the League of Nations, Air James AlacDonald, in a carefully worded statement referring to the Angola scheme, declared that much harm is being done by gross exaggeration. “These wild and absurd statements,” says the High Commissioner, “are most certainly wrecking the few small possibilities of the refugees. Palestine is the only country which offers any prospects for a large scale settlement.”
