The British Foreign Office does not command “unlimited confidence” when it comes to the question of saving Jews and other persecuted people in Europe, an article in the London Spectator states, commenting on the refusal of the British Government to establish a War Refugee Board on the pretext that a Refugee Department exists already at the Foreign Office.
The article urges that members of Parliament interested in rescue work “make the Government conscious of their vigilance.” It emphasizes that “the country is in some danger of falling behind the United States” with regard to saving Nazi victims from Europe.
