AID TO REFUGEES
PEOPLE FROM GERMANY PERIOD OF FIVE YEARS (British Official Wireless.) Reed. 9 a.m. RUGBY, Mar. 25. The conversations which recently took place in Berlin between the director of the inter-governmental committee for European refugees, Mr. G Rublee and German officials were referred to in a speech by Earl Winterton, chairman of the refugee committee. He said that the statement on the emigration of refugees from Germany offered so much hope that it would be possible to continue the conversations. The talks would not be ended by the deplorable events of the last fortnight.
Although he was not at liberty to give the full details, it would be said that the statement contemplated orderly migration spread over five years of 150,900 able-bodied and 250,000 dependent non-aryans in Germany. The statement, he added, suggested the reasonable treatment of persons awaiting emigration in Germany and the absence of molestation of the old and infirm.
