The refugee problem was the subject of two important in camera conferences yesterday with the participation of the Foreign Office and the Liaison Committee of the League of Nations High Commission for Refugees, it was learned today.
The Foreign Office conference, presided over by Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet, was attended by Senator Henri Berenger and other leading statesmen as well as by Chief Rabbi Isaye Schwartz, who was invited despite the Sabbath because of the meeting’s importance. The conference, it was learned, studied plans to use to the maximum advantage the recent favorable measures regarding refugees in France. It also discussed admittance of Jewish refugee children from the Reich.
The Liaison Committee conference disclosed that Dr. Gustav Kullman, Assistant League High Commissioner for Refugees, had gone to Poland to study the situation of Jewish and non Jewish refugees from Czechoslovakia. Dr. Kullman’s survey is important as a prelude to the May session of the League Council at which the question of inclusion of the Czech refugees in the scope of the League Commission is to be taken up.
