Supported by the League of Nations, the Nansen Office, which protects persons “without a country,” today sent out a recommendation to members of the League of Nations urging that governments grant special credits to enable the Nansen Office to settle stateless Jews and other refugees from Russia and Germany wherever possible.
The recommendation will be received by all those governments which are affiliated with the League of Nations. Upon their reply will hinge the decision as to whether the League should actively undertake the settling of stateless persons on a large scale.
James G. McDonald, High Commissioner for Refugees, who is now on his way to the United States, is also interested in the recommendation of the Nansen Office. Mr. McDonald is expected to reach New York on Wednesday. His stay there will be brief, since he must proceed to South America to investigate the possibilities of settling German refugees in South American countries.
