The establishment of a commission to survey the whole problem of German refugees, administer monies to be entrusted to it, study the question of the settlement of the refugees in other countries, and to enter into communications with the interested governments, is suggested by the Manchester Guardian, world famous liberal newspaper.

The Guardian urges the British government as the most suitable agency for bringing the entire matter up at the next session of the League of Nations Assembly. This will ensure discussion of both the resolution adopted recently by the International Labor Office at Geneva, and the broader question of the political and Jewish refugees.

Neither the smaller powers nor France can ensure League action as well as Great Britain, the Guardian points out, stressing the fact that an even greater emergency will arise with the coming of winter, when an increased number of refugees from Germany must be expected.
