LONDON, December 1

An attempt to co-ordinate suggestions for assisting the emigration of German Jews will be made tomorrow at a meeting of the refugees committee established by' the Eviari Conference. Eight thousand people at a meeting in the Albert Hall pledged themselves to support every legitimate form of action to alleviate the sufferings of victims of religious and racial perse-' cution in Germany. A Berlin message states that 7000 Jews have been released from the Buchenwald concentration camp in the last few days, and are being replaced by anti-Nazis from the Sudetenland.

"The Times," in an editorial describing Australia's contribution to the solution of the refugee problem as characteristically generous says that the Commonwealth has certainly done its full share. A great part of the Australian territory is uninhabitable and the chief cities crowded. The majority of the immigrants are unlikely to be acquainted with agriculture and the raising of stock. "The Times" hopes that other countries within and without the Empire will follow Australia's example. /
