It has been reported here that difficulty is being experienced by
I.R.O. in the placement overseas of displaced persons and that
this may seriously delay the programme for their transfer from the
Occupation Zones and satisfactory settlement.

In this connection Australian Government would be prepared to
consider an increase in the agreed quota from 12,000 to a maximum
of 20,000 per annum under the same conditions as apply in the case
of the recently completed agreement including right of selection
by an Australian team and provision of shipping by I.R.O.

Would appreciate your comments on this proposal when matter will
receive early consideration. [1]
