ENEMY CHILDREN.
YEAR'S HOLIDAY IN ENGLAND SUGGESTED. SCHEME STRONGLY OPPOSED. By Cable. — Press Association. — Copyright. (A. & N.Z.) LONDON, Feb. 10. A movement is being inaugurated in the north of England to bring children from the famine-stricken arcis in Central Europe for a year's hospitality in England. The Manchester City Council has been asked to arrange hospitality for 2000 children, and Bradford for another 1000 children, all of school age. In connection with the proposal there was an acrimonious debate in the Bradford City Council, as a result of which the council rejected Ihe proposal. Speakers angrily declared that there were many children in Bradford who wanted succouring as badly as the children of Central Europe. Others asked if the English children killed in the air raids were forgotten. One speaker declared that the proposal emanated from Labourites who had supported the enemy in War time. This caused a heated discussion until the statement was withdrawn.
