SAFETY OF CHILDREN
POLICY OF THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT. NO MASS MIGRATION PLANS. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 11.25 a.m.) RUGBY. June 20. No scheme has yet been finally fixed for tlie evacuation of British children to the Dominions or other overseas countries, and it is unlikely that the first movement of children could be started before two or three weeks have passed. The Under-Secretary for the Dominions (Mr G. Shakespeare) states that any idea of mass migration is absolutely contrary to the wishes of any of the governments concerned. A safe refuge is intended for a limited number of children on well-ordered plans and the major Government policy still is to send children from evacuation areas to reception areas in Britain itself.
