IMMIGRATION

FROM GERMANY PALESTINE INFLUX. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright). ■ LONDON, December 1. Following the Palestine offer to absorb 10,000 child refugees, a census is being taken in the Jewish ' city of Telaviv, of available homes over a thousand of which have already been registered. It is expected that koines will be ready throughout Palestine within a week.

The North Rhodesian Parliament agreed to admit refugees, eventually totalling 150.

The Dutch Premier, M. Collijn, suggested a collection throughout Holland, for the refugees, of whom 40CO have already entered, and hundreds are still crossing the frontier. Three hundred children left Germany for Harwich, where they will camp until they can be absorbed into charitable homes. i

The first attempt to co-ordinate suggestions for assisting the emigration of German Jews will be made to-moryow at the meeting of- the Vice-Chairman’s Committee, established by the Evian Conference.

Eight thousand at a meeting at Albert Hall, pledged support for every legitimate form of action to alleviate the sufferings of victims of religious and racial persecution in Germany. AUSTRALIA’S GENEROSITY. LONDON, December 1. “The Times” in an editorial, describes Australia’s contribution to the solution of the refugee problem, as characteristically generous. It says the Commonwealth has certainly done her full share. A great part of Australia territory is uninhabitable and the chief cities are crowded. The immigrants are unlikely to be acquainted with agriculture and stock raising. It hopes others within and without the Empire will follow Australia’s example. 7000 RELEASED. BERLIN, December 1.
