HELP FOR REFUGEES
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT’S SUGGESTIONS BEFORE INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE. ACUTE PROBLEM IN NEUTRAL { COUNTRIES. ! 3y Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. (Received This Day, 12.30 p.m.) WASHINGTON. October 18. The International Executive Committee on Refugees, which met at the White House under the chairmanship of Earl Winterton. went into recess today until October 2G. when it will consider President Roosevelt's suggestions cabled yesterday. The consensus of opinion among members of the committee is that the immediate problem of giving refuge to 200,000 can best be handled through individual infiltration under immigration quotas and settlement projects, such as those of Dominica and the Philippines. British and French representatives informed the committee that their refugees were being placed in war and other industries and that their removal was not pressing, whereas sixty thousand in Switzerland, Belgium and the Netherlands constitute an acute problem.
