STILL AT LIBERTY IN PARIS
2000 BRITISH SUBJECTS DIFFICULTIES OVER EXCHANGE LONDON, Feb. 5. About 2000 British subjects are still living at liberty in Paris. This was revealed by Mr. R. A. Butler, Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs, replying to a question in the House of Commons. “They are able to obtain from the United States Embassy sufficient cash, up to £lO a month to enable them to obtain modest board and lodging,” said Mr. Butler, after mentioning that the International Red Cross had made arrangements whereby a 24-word message might be sent by people in Britain to relatives in occupied France.
Mr. Butler said that although the matter was being kept very much in mind, there were grave difficulties in the way of any arrangement for an exchange of German women in British hands for British women in German hands. ' 5 ’
