The Shape of Things
April 8, 1944 issue

This article reports on the recent political developments around the world and the United States. The official deadline for immigration into Palestine under the White Paper passed at midnight on March 31, leaving both British and American policy toward the Jewish homeland in a state of complete confusion. The clarity seemingly achieved by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt's forthright statement that the American government has never given its approval of the "White Paper of 1939" has been largely obliterated by his subsequent support of General Marshall's contention that the issue should not be pressed now for military reasons.
