The question of the men without a country, refugees in Poland and Roumania, came up for consideration at the meeting of the Advisory Committee for Refugees which was held here. On the proposal of Lucien Wolf, it was decided to ask the Refugee Section of the International Labor Office of the League of Nations and the International Labor Office itself to appoint a committee to investigate the question and to give effect to the resolution adopted on the question of the persons without citizenship and to put a stop to the present state of affairs by which seven years after the conclusion of the Minorities Treaties the provisions of the Minorities Treaties are not yet being observed, with the result that there are large numbers of people who are not recognized as citizens of any country.
