1st Edition. Stated, "Preliminary Memorandum: First Draft. " Original Wrappers. 4to. 4 pages ; 28 cm. "Strictly Confidential. " A Memorandum for Discussion on refugee settlement. Prepared by Isaiah Bowman, a notoriously anti-Semitic academic (and then-president of Johns-Hopkins University) who was for the Fourth Meeting of the Territorial Group, May 20th 1940. "If Germany wins, she will wish to keep all the population that she controls, for population means power, with the exception perhaps of the Jewish elements. In the matter of Jewish refugees it is even possible that she may reverse her policy (if she wins) because of the use she would desire to make of the abilities of part of this group. " "Isaiah Bowman (1878 1950) was an American geographer and President of the Johns Hopkins University In 1939 Roosevelt appointed Bowman to lead a search for an appropriate refuge for Jewish emigrants from Europe. Bowman's team looked for uninhabited or sparsely settled land on five continents, but not in the US. Bowman's opposition to accepting Jewish refugees stemmed from his deep antisemitism. At the Johns Hopkins University, he established an anti-Jewish admissions quota in 1945, just as other leading universities were dismantling their quota systems, on grounds that Jews were an alien threat to American culture Before and during World War II he served on the Council of Foreign Relations' War and Peace Studies project as chairman of its territorial group.
