ALIEN REFUGEES. "WHISPERING CAMPAIGN." STAB.TED BY COMMUNISTS? The Ifomc Ofiice and War Ollicc are being flooded by anonymous letters denouncing refugee Germans and Austrians as Gestapo agents and spies. House-to-house visits arc being made by police officers who arc cidier summoning refugees (o attend at Aliens Tribunals or arc cheeking up to make sure that they have passed through the tribunals. Beading refugees point out (Says a correspondent of (he "Daily Herald") (hat a whispering campaign against them has been started and is being intensified by fellow refugees for poli(ical reasons.

Among the German and Czech refugees admitted to England is a number of Communists. Most of them arc Aryans, and the Nazi-Soviet Alliance has changed their attitude towards Hitler and Nazi Germany. 'They have started :i campaign against fellow refugees of different political opinion because, they say, they are supporting "a capitalist war" against their own country, Gcr-

Most of the refugees have turned down the advances of the Communists. Now (hey suddenly find themselves the victims of anonymous denunciations which bring about police investigations and other difficulties.

On (he other hand, it is suggested that the working of the Aliens' Tribunals has left many loopholes for bogus refugees. The tribunals, it is contended, have little chance of detecting Nazi agents who, furnished with refugee papers in Germany, reached England with the help of one of the recognised refugee organisations.

But it must be remembered that, independent of the Aliens Tribunals' decisions, several suspects were arrested at the outbreak of war. Scotland Yard is keeping watch on all foreigners in England. The classification as "friendly aliens" cannot save any foreign-born people from inierniuent if there is (he slightest suspicion against them.
