 London, Feb. l3--oeorge s. f7uh- lee, American director of refugee work, submitted to the intet-goverfi. mental committee of S2 nations to- day Q memorandum drawn up by agreemen with the German govern inent, on the future of German Jews.
 It was understood that the first part of the memorandum envis. aged the emigration of 15O0Oo to 100000 able bodied German Jews, who would finance the emigration of their dependents and relatives as soon as they established thenl- selves abroad and were earning money.
 The second part was said to con- tain assurances from the German government of better treatment for Jews awaiting their turn to erli. grate.
 Plan On Property
 In the third part, the inenoran. dunn was said to indicate that Ger many could not permit Jews to take abroad any more property than under present restrictions. However, 1t was said to propose a trust fund of Jewish money in Germany, on which emigrating Jews could draw for proportion of their wealth (1) for transportation to countries of settlement insofar as the charges could be paid in marks, and (2) for equipment and machinery which they would require In their new homes.
 Rublee handed his resignation to the committee after he had sub- mitted his report. He intends to sail for the United States at the end of this week.
 Rublee reported fully to the com- mittee, of which the United States and all other American republics are members, on the long negotia- tions he conducted at Berlin.
 He reported last night ta a guid- ing subcommittee Of which the United States, Great Britain, France, the Netherlands, Brazil and Argentina are members. Approved By Goering
 The memorandum which he submitted formally today was un- derstood to have been approved by representative of Field Marshal Hermann Goering, Nazi No. 2 and dictator of the four-year plan of economic self-sufhciency.
 It was understood that Rublee re- ported that Germany was still de- termined that Jews should leave the country and that the Nazis felt that, the United States and other highly developed countries could not absorb all of them, the German Jews would have to be sent as pio- neers to undeveloped territories, especially parts of Africa and South America.
 Rublee Successor
 The committee was expected to appoinnt Sir Herbert Emerson of Great Britain to secceed Rublee. Rabert Pell of the United States who is secretary of the committee, was expected to be appointed as- sistant director.
 The United States was understood to have originated the plan to make Emerson director in the hope that 1t would insure more active British cooperation in solving the refeugee problem.
 Rublee Memorandum
 According to report, the first por- ton of the Rublee Memorandum explained that Germany was willing to create central organization to arrange for orderly emigration of Jews. This organization would select the able bodied Jews who would go as an advance guard, 1t was said, ard would arrange for de- parture of other Jews as places were open for them. Presumably the or- ganization would maintain contact with the Government com- mittee, which would try to find places for Jews and help to fin- ance their settlement.
 The second part was reported to contain an implied guarantee that there would be no further persecu- ton of Jews while emigration was proceeding. Jews even might be al- lowed to resume their business acti- vities, 1t was reported, and aged and infirm Jews who were unable to emigrate would be assured proper care.
 Refugee experts were said to feel that the present situation as Rub- lee outlined 1t was much more fav- orable than thta which followed the Anti-Jewish outbreaks last Nov- ember. They expressed belief that field marshal Goering, as the man responsible for Germany's economic welfare, and those associated with him viewed seriously the effect of the anti-Jewish outbreaks abroad, especially on German commerce, and wanted to solve the Jewish problem as speedily as possible without further harm to Germany's reputation abroad.
