BLUNT WARNINGS Pretender To BELGIUM'S
TO EMIGRANTS
Koblenz, May 29.
West Germans, emigrating at a higher rate now than at any time this century, are warned before they leave that brawn will get them further than brains, and elbow grease will serve them better than a knowledge of shorthand.
Pamphlets tell them that they must keep their children at school until 16 in certain Australian states, that beef there costs at least three shillings a pound, and that the minimum living wage in Adelaide is eleven guineas.
In addition, they are reminded refugees. This promises to help that a heat wave may be expect-solve one of this country's most ed round Christmas, when they burning problems - how to might expect snow,"

In fact, they are stripped of all rosy notions, often gathered from the cinema, that a new start abroad will
be easy, and are encouraged to have one more good look round before leaving their homeland.
