RACIAL PERSECUTION.
Allied Victory Only Remedy.
(British Ofelal Wireless.)
LONDON, Jan 20.-The Deputy
Prime Minister (Mr Attlee), in reply
to a question in the House of Com
mons yesterday as to a proposal for
the relief of Jewish refugees in
Europe, said that the Government
was conscious that the only real
remedy for this racial persecution
lay in an Allied victory. Measures
for relief could not be exclusively
British and they were now consult
ing other Governments most con
cerned as to assistance to Jews who
make their way to countries beyond
German controL Such measures ne
cessarily would be confidential and
it would not be in the Interest of
refugees themselves to enter into
discussions at the present moment.
Mr Attlee added that the British
Government's share in meeting this
need already had been very substan
tial and it was now working out
certain proposals in order to make a
further contribution.

ents who go to prison in preference
to sending children to Nazified
schools.
This was stated today by Mr Har
ald Land, Norwegian teacher now
lecturing in America, who said that
prior to the closing down of the
schools there were persistent strikes
by pupils and teachers, hundreds of
whom were sent to gaoL The Nor
wegian spirit, he said, was unbreak
able. The people were eagerly
awaiting an Allied invasion.
