    Dear 811"01

    The following message i'or leBDra. Baerwald and Scmwarta frO. Dr. Mapes waa received thrU&h the American Qo11Pu.l in lerusalea und•r date ot October 6, 19'41.t

    "234. The following ie reported by Patlll\lllt

    •First, COlUlunioations between Sofia and btanbu.l regularJ it appears froa info1·l!lr1tion received that the OoY9rnilent of Bulgaria is prepared to permit emigration to Palestine with the exception of mtn who are between tbe agH ot 17 and 50. There tu railway co11neotion between Turkey and Bulgaria but it ia irregulllr.

    •Rine porsonu in the first group arrived ut Istanbul overland on the 29th of September and we are advised ~t 1hortl1 140 children will leave·Dulge.ria. ·

    •Since railway traffic and roade are controlleu by the Rueelan1 we would aas\llae tha.t thia aoveaent la not objected w by th••· Palestine unofficial representative~ &l'e trying to step up elligration. Second, even telegraphic couunic&tion 'with Ruaania beca11e very difficult recently if npt 1apoos1ble. Froll -Duoherest a cable to Istanbul. relayed !b;ough Switzerland wae freceived the 29th of Saptembor and stated that tho Russians re-fuse to perwit the SS SM!lUIY end SELAHELDIN to leave· for Turkey and intervention from Istanbul r.-ae therefore requaeted. Rcu1obing Intanbul directly, following a long delay, another oo.blo requ.eetu intervention with the Oovonunent of Turkey to h11ve ite conaul in . Buohurout instructed to authorize transit viuab to overl!Uld traveloro to Puloatine. Although thie wao donft no overland traffic between R1.11111.nia and Bulgaria 18 ut present possible. It appears from the information above that emigr(l.tion rr~11 Ru:aania to Palestine is not objected to by the Ruae1~,na· but that the uae ot boats will not be peritltted by tho11. 11Suob emigration from Bulgaria and. RUllMia in our opinion- 1fJ n~w . not of a reao\IO tlat\11'9.

    8 Third, for the past tour weeks all direct (*) to Istanbul froa Hungary has stopped but various reports 8.l"e arrivitlg fro• Switzerland, and often these are con~diotory. 11Dated the 6th of September a report from lriuu1, Buchareat, to

    Posner, Switzerland, which nas cabled to Istanbul. under datp of September 29, states that in Hungary of 8001000 JelHI there are only ;wo,ooo rel!!aining and that of these the majoritt are concentrated. In this cable it ia requested that tho United States and British Goverrunents intervene in order that the IRC may be able to watch the Jews that are loft so that they 111ay not be re?:Joved froa Hungary. i'his l'eport we ro•e not able to confirm. The DO representative in Turkey has no information.

    •0n Octobeio 1 Pas6J!lan arrived. lie said that until hto departure he did not receive your a.newer to his cabla .. 167 of Septeaber 3 to Lisbon requesting your nppro~ to hlu going to Ruaanln. He therefore does not know how to plan for hie activltieo in the future even should the State Depart5ent grant peJ'lll!aaion for his visiting the Balkan. countriee which he trusts it may be possible for you to e.xpedtte.

    1Be are in general ignorant of your relief policy since

    the reaoue program is nearing an end.

    •rn our opinion the relief needs of Jews in the Balkan countries and ir. Poland whioh are probably aoceaaible now fl"OJI Ruaania and Teheran aro so great thnt J.D.O. ounot undertake the responsibility of aeotin8 thee alone.

    •J.D.c., «e believe, should take the initiative tamediatoly on the opot in each one or the countries liberated and abould a~nge to aupploment the relief activities conduoted by the vnrioua gove1'nlllente and Jewiah local organization nnd any ottier bodies engp,ged in relief. Thie is the ve:eytime, aoreover, •hen the presence of J.D.o. representatives not only will ettmUlnte governm.nta and other agenoiea to initiate oystelll(l.tio notivities of relief but the taek of J.D.o. ahould be to help und urge 't4om to relieve without delay the sufferings of Jew1,

    :\ •'lhe Jewiah Agency, in the absence ot uny statonients of polioy by the J .D,c,, io Pl'•Hlng ita own programa for rel!et operatlona and doubtless J,D.o., ae heretofore, will have to pay tor these prognms.
