About 50 European refugee in- migrants who have landed Australia recently on provisional permits will in all probability be given permission to settle here per- manently. They will be counted as part of Australia's quota of 16,000 refugees to be admitted as settlers the next three months.

The Minister for the Interior, Mr. McEwen, says that all the reftigées to whom permits, temporary or per- manent, have been granted at Aus- tralia House are of a most desirable type.
