The Exodus refugees today announced that they will quit the Poppendorf and Am Stau camps, near here, for two other camps at Emden and Wilhelmshaven, but asserted that they were not taking this action because of a British threat yesterday to eject them from their present quarters by force if they did not agree to move. A commission of refugees and Jewish doctors is leaving tomorrow to inspect the new camps. In a statement, the refugees said that the “burning question still remains our immediate immigration to Palestine.”
