Have you read that book written by a polish Jewess based on all kinds of journals from the time of the Warschaw ghetto? It paints a different picture .... The useless eaters were considered the not connected, the simple folk. At least, by the elite Jews in that Ghetto. And these elite, made damn sure, the useless eaters were extradited.

He wanted to allow Jews to leave anywhere they wanted

Not quite. Kissinger traveled freely to UK/US, without deposit. Jews could use that infrastructure by

1. deposit
2. requesting a 1000 pound loan and deposit.

They would then be issued a emigration and immigration visum. They also could use, as part of the scheme, a market place to sell properties elsewhere, like in Argentina, and then deposit.

The deposit functioned geared towards two elements:

1. to obtain an immigration visum
2. to buy all the equipment, building materials and tools needed to build a life in Palestine.

In effect, the only place they could travel to under the haavara transfer agreement was Palestine.

From that point of view, not even the Col was a loser there. Though, by 1937, it turned out to be too good...... and the visum scheme was ended, halting a further exodus.
