Negotiations between Czechoslovakia and Canada and Australia for the emigration of refugees who fled the Sudetenland after the German occupation are now making good progress, a Prague dispatch to the National Zeitung of Essen reported today.
Four thousand of these refugees have already been sent abroad, the newspaper said. In addition to Canada and Australia, it declared, discussions have also been opened with Rhodesia and Kenya, Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. Thirty thousand urgent cases are now being studied in Praha, the dispatch said, including 5,000 Sudeten Germans, 7,000 refugees from the Old Germany and 15,000 Jews.
