VIEWS RECONCILED
A REFUGEE COMMITTEE. ENCOURAGEMENT OF SURVEYS. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright WASHINGTON. October 26. At a final meeting of the executive of the Inter-Governmental Committee on Refugees a compromise .was reached reconciling divergent British, French and American viewpoints. The committee agreed to encourage surveys in case there was a refugee problem after the war. but declined to admit that the problem would arise.
An earlier report stated that British and French representatives were concerned at President Roosevelt’s refugee proposals, declaring in informal representations that one of the war objectives was the elimination of the doctrine of racial and religious bigotry, making it unnecessary for citizens to emigrate because of religion or race. President Roosevelt’s statement was understood to have discomfited Britain and France because they felt it permitted the assumption in Germany that President Roosevelt endorsed Herr Hitler’s thesis that emigration might be forced.
