While the Aliens Tribunals are engaged in sifting confide refugees from the Germans and Austrians appearing before them, it has apparently not yet been decided whether all Czechoslovakians or only those coming from the Sudetenland will have to be passed upon by the tribunals.

Calling attention to the fact that Czech refugees are now in a worse position than Austrians and Germans who have been passed by the tribunals, the information bullet ion of the Self-Aid Association of Czech Jews expresses the strong desire of Czech Jews to be allowed to help the British people. The bulletin also urges use of the Czech Refugee Trust Fund for retraining of former shop owners, solicitors and commercial agents to occupations useful in the present emergency.
