| · Scope and Content | The Foundation was established in England on 8/1/39 to act as a secretariat organization, primarily to coordinate the effort of private organizations in finding overseas territories suitable for refugee settlement, and in faci-litating such settlement. The JDC agreed to provide $1,000,000 in the hope that British and continental groups would participate as well. Paul van Zeeland, former prime minister of Belgium served as Executive President, while on the Executive Committee the JDC held the majority of the seats. The Foundation participated in the preparation of settlement studies on the Phillipines, South America and the Caribbean, but the only one which bore fruit was in the Dominican Republic. The U.S. entry into the war, in December 1941, put an end to refugee migration. By the beginning of 1942, the JDC contribution to the Coordinating Foundation had reached $78,087, in all. | ||||
