Plans For Emigration Of 400,000 Jews From Germany
NOT AFFECTED BY EVENTS OF LAST FORTNIGHT
London, To-day.
Conversations which recently took place in Berlin between Mr. George Rublee, director of the Evian committee on refugees, and German officials, were referred to in a speech by the chairman of the committee, Lord Winterton, who said the statement on emigration of re- fugees from Germany offered so much hope that it would be possible to continue the con- versations.
They would not be ended by the deplorable events
of the last fortnight.
FORMATION OF NON-PARTY GOVERNMENT URGED
London, To-day. The immediate formation of a non-party Government on the widest possible basis was urged by Mr. Anthony Eden, when, speaking at Grimsby, he' said that the Government should have a two-fold pur- pose, firstly, the regimentation of Britain's industry, wealth and manpower in order to put forward the maximum military effort in the shortest possible time, and secondly, the adop tion of a vigorous for- eign policy by uniting the peace-loving nations to resist further acts of aggression, as Lord Halifax, the Foreign Minister, appeared to foreshadow last Monday.

many.
INTERNAL FUND
The internal German Jewish fund would find passage money and equipment for settlement, and the international fund would pay für- ther cost of settlements.
Individuals who first came out would repay money as they earned sufficient in their new home to do so to both funds, thus enabling fur- ther refugees to leave.
The statement, he added, sug- gested reasonable treatment of per- sons awaiting emigration in "Ger- many and the absence of molesta- tion of old and infirm persons,- British Wireless. ·
