WORLD EXPULSION OF JEWS

♦ Conference Urges Protest PLANS FOR ASSISTING REFUGEES Bv Teleerapb—Press Assn.—Copy right. EVIAN (France), July 7. The refugees’ conference, which is meeting here, is considering a memorandum from the World Jewish Congress pointing out the impossibility of providing shelter and discussing the possibility of giving a new start> to hundreds of thousands of German Jews if they are driven out destitute. It asks the conference to protest against such action, and also to warn Poland, Rumania, and Hungary that they have no right to drive out Jewish citizens.

Delegates from a number of countries, including Canada, Brazil, and the Argentine, stressed the difficulty of admitting immigrants. The conference established a subcommittee to make contact with all organisations interested in assisting Austrian and German refugees and another to consider information from Governments regarding the number and type of immigrants they are prepared to receive.

MAKING MORE ROOM IN ENGLAND

Expulsion Of German Non-Refugees

(British Official Wireless.)

(Received July 8, 8.30 p.m.) Rugby, July 7.

Asked in the House of Commons if he would consider the possibility of finding room for additional German refugees by cancelling the permission of German non-refugees to remain in England, Sir Samuel Hoare, Home Secretary, said that the occasion for such action would only’ arise if there was in England a number of subjects who could be required. to leave without undue hardship to themselves or disadvantage to ourselves. That was not so.

Apart from those who had been settled here for many years, many with British-born wives and British-born children, a large proportion of those admitted to England were either refugees or persons admitted for special .purposes, such as technicians who leave the country when they have fulfilled their mission.
