The hopes of Europe's six million Jews are centered on emigration. I was asked, 'Can you bring six million Jews to Palestine?' I replied, 'No'. . . . From the depths of the tragedy I want to save two million young people. . . The old ones will pass. They will bear their fate or they will not.

There must not be one law for the Jew and another for the Arabs. . . . In saying this, I do not assume that there are tendencies toward inequalirty or discrimination. It is merely a timely warning which is particularly necessary because we shall have a very large Arab minority.

Look to the living, love them, and hold on.
