The Bishop of Chichester has voiced support of a demand advanced by the Manchester Guardian that the Soviet Government permit refugees from Poland, among whom are 600,000 Jews, to emigrate from Russia.
“However sharp the political controversies between Russia and Poland are,” the Bishop told reporters, “there is no reason why the Soviet authorities should ignore the appeal to permit the emigration of refugees from Poland now on Russian soil since this appeal is based on good will among the Allied nations and mercy for helpless persons.”
