An appeal for admission of refugees to East Africa was made here by former Governor Edward Grigg of Kenya in an address before the East African Dinner Club. Thousands of refugees from Central Europe, he asserted, are educated, capable people of the hard-working type from which the most efficient settlers are found. All races in East Africa would benefit from immigration of this kind, the ex-Governor said.

The Daily Mail urged editorially the formation of a British Foreign Legion composed of refugees now in Britain.
