The newly established Good Neighbor Committee on the Emig and the Community announced today that it is sponsoring on Nov. 28 a second city-wide conference on the refugee problem at which the principal speakers will be Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt and James G. MacDonald, chairman of the President’s Advisory Committee on Political Refugees.
Chairman Dr. John L. Elliott of the committee said that the conference will take up the effect of war upon the refugee problem, methods of absorbing refugees into American life and the spread of “factual information concerning the relatively small number of refugees which can come to this country under the present laws, even with all quotas filled.”
