An appeal to refugees to help Great Britain’s export drive by creation of new industries here was made today by the Committee for Development of Refugee Industries.

A statement by Comyns Carr, committee chairman, said refugees could build up exports meaning millions yearly to Britain and more jobs for the unemployed. “We have Government approval for our plans,” Carr declared. It was pointed out that a battery factory in South Wales, started five weeks age by refugees, is now employing more than 60 workers who formerly were without jobs.
