This is untrue. As stated in public notice broadcasts on September 3, reproduced in the English newspapers the following morning, no obstacle, generally speaking, has been placed :n t/he way of foreigners of any nationality who wished to leave the country. In fact, large numbers of Germans have left. Of the many thousands of Germans remaining in the United Kingdom a few hundred have been arrested for reasons of national security. Each of them has the right to appeal to an independnt legal tribunal, which will commence work shortly. The cases of those remaining at liberty will be investigated by nearly 100 independent tribunals of a legal character, to be set up in each locality. Germans wishing to leave the country require an exit—a requirement that also applies to British subjects. In the absence of special reasons they will receive this permit without difficulty. In no case has the property of Germans in this country been confiscated.
