James G. McDonald, League of Nations High Commissioner for German refugees today publicly praised the policy of the British government with regard to the admission of German Jewish refugees into Palestine over which Britain holds a mandate.
“Important as is the refugee problem,” Mr. McDonald declared “it is a minor one in comparison to the Jewish problem as a whole. My conviction is that the Jewish leaders should consider not only the immediate question of the refugees but the larger aspects of the Jews in Eastern Europe.”
Mr. McDonald is visiting Warsaw to inspect the work being done-in behalf of the refugees from the Reich.
The executive body of the autonomous governing group set up by the League to cope with the refugee problem. The body will meet in London early in May.
