McDonald Leaves for South
American Countries on
Behalf of Refugees
NFW, YORK.—James'G- McDonald, I..eague of Nations higti coiiinvssioncr for refugees coming from Germany will .sail tomorrow for Rio dc Janeiro to be- ,t,'in a series of conferences with the hcad-s of eight Suiilh Ainerican couhlrics to cslabl.isli a ha.sis for the admission to those lands of a limited mimber of refugees over a. fixcil period,of time.
Arriving in New York from Europe on Wednesday of tbis week, on the S.S. .Manhattan, Commissioner McDonald is¬ sued a statement yestei'day concerning his South American inission and the status of the refugees in various FurO- ' peaii countries. His statement,^in whicli be declares that tbe plight of some , thousands of destitute refugees in Europe urgently iralls, for immediate re¬ lief, follows: ¦ _.
"I am returning home for less than three days in order to confer with a .' number of private persons and officials in New York and Washington iii con¬ nection with' my forthcoming. visit to eight countries of Soutfi America.' I '. sail to Uio de Janeiro next Saturday on the S.S. Western Prince!,'
"Increasingly," it is recognized that . whcrc/er the German: refugees arc given opportunities to work, they quickly.be¬ come valuable assets to their new home¬ lands. I am hopeful, tberefoi-e, that i" certain of thecQUntries of South Amer¬ ica it will be possible to work out with the govei-nments there a .basis for the admission, over a fixed period, of time, of limited ntimber.s of the refugees. Many of .these are particularly suited for emigration to countries like those in the ;^outh which still possess vast unde¬ veloped  resources.
"Somewhat more than, one-third of,. the total of the refugees from Germany still remain un.settled. The task of aid.- ing most of these to buiUl fbr themselves ,iiew .lives overseas" wilL require during this year large amounts' of, money. . In the meantipie, the desperate plight of some thousands of the destitute in Euro¬ pean capitals' urgently.ca:lls for "immedi- ati;. relief. . Aniong .these needy, as well as among those, who. are awa!iting the oiipbPtunity to .gb overseas, arc a con¬ siderable number of Ghristian.s. It. is significant in this connection.that recently there was organized in 'Paris . under the aiispiceS of Cardinal Verdier a rep¬ resentative Catholic' committee to., help care for. tbe German .refflftees and other destitute   foi-eigncrs.".
