From Chapter XIX:
To accomplish its purpose the enterprise of refugee colonization must essentially be adapted to environmental conditions in the area of operation. Preceding chapters have dealt with the general nature of problems confronting mass resettlement of the distressed and impoverished refugees of Europe. The major elements of Dominican economy have been described in some detail, as well as the climate, demography, land resources, soils, crops, and the agricultural and industrial potentialities.
From the General Conclusion:
It was stated in the Foreword that the principal questions with which the survey had to deal were: 1) Is the Dominican Republic a suitable place for refugee settlement? 2) How many refugee immigrants make a living there? 3) How many settlers can the Republic absorb? 4) What will be the effect of the settlement project on the Dominican community? 5) What part will the project play in the solution of the refugee problem as a whole?
