BRITONS LIVING IN PARIS
ABOUT 2000 STILL AT LIBERTY (Received February 6, 7 p.m.) LONDON, February 5. About 2000 British subjects are still living at liberty in Paris. This was revealed by Mr R. A. Butler, the Foreign Under-Secretary, replying in the House of Commons to a question to-day. “They are able to obtain from the United States Embassy sufficient cash up to £lO a month to enable them to obtain modest board and lodging,” he said. After mentioning that the International Red Cross had made arrangements by which a 24-word message may be sent by people in Britain to relatives in occupied France, Mr Butler said that although the matter was being kept very much in mind, there were grave difficulties in the way of any arrangement for the exchange of German women in British hands for British women in German hands.
