TO BE SLOW.
During its first week Mfr. Justice Younger's Committee, which is hear- who do not wish to go back to ing appeals from interned Germans: Germany, has settled a few out of the 5,000 cases on its list..
Every German who has appealed has been instructed to
make his statement in writing, with testimon nor solicitor will be heard, but care ials to character. Neither counsel
ful consideration will be given to documents. Progress is likely to be slow.
The favourite plea of the interned is one of consideration for their British- born children. The question the Committee is often asked to decide is whether Germany is to be made a present of these offspring.
When peace is signed the question will arise of the disposal of the interned. Already British business men are complaining of the return of the uninterned German to his business or occupation and the release of another 5.000 would not be greeted with pleasure in commercial circles..
Readers of this paper complain that Germans and Austrians who disappeared during the war are now back in their old houses or business premises.-Dolly Mail.
