Applications for admission to the United Kingdom of German Jewish refugees facing expulsion from Italy are receiving careful consideration and will be governed by the same conditions covering other refugees, Foreign Undersecretary Richard A. Butler told the House of Commons today in reply to a question. Admission to the dominions is a matter for the dominion governments to decide, Mr. Butler said. Colonial governments have been asked to give sympathetic consideration to applications of refugees who are likely to prove good and useful citizens, Mr. Butler declared, but it is impossible to suggest that special facilities be given to refugees from any particular country.
