A number of important questions will be discussed on Tuesday at the meeting of the permanent committee of the advisory body to High Commissioner Jemes G. McDonald, he informed the Jewish Telegraphic Agency today. The Committee is made up of representatives of five governments with Lord Cecil as chairman.
Among the questions to be discussed are:
1. Passports for the refugees, with a view to obtaining not only the consent of the government to issue passports for the refugees now in their countries, but also passports which will enable the refugees to travel in all countries and to return to the countries which originally issued the passports.
2. Settlement schemes, including colonization and industries, for individuals and groups refuguees.
3. Relief and help for refugees to establish themselves.
4. Training for new occupations which will be confined to present refugees.
The meeting of the permanent committee is expected to last until Thursday.
