PROBLEM OF WORLD’S REFUGEES
Haven Now Limited In Britain
POSSIBILITIES IN THE COLONIES
By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. EVIAN (France), July 6.
A conference of delegates from 32 countries began an examination to-day of the problem of dealing with political refugees. Lord Winterton, one of the British delegates, said that Britain would always afford a haven, but that its scope was now limited owing to unemployment. She was ready to collaborate with other countries in reference to the sending of refugees to her colonies.
Lord Winterton warned Germany that refugees must be allowed to take some capital out of the country if she expected other countries to receive them.
Mr. Myron Taylor, United States delegate, referred to the millions of people without a country who were being forced upon countries who were ill-equipped to receive them, and said that this was Increasing tension and was not conducive to world peace.
