Paris, Nov, 16
France already has 230,000 emigres and so will not be able to allow any more either into the motherland or the colonies, informed quarters pointed out today.
Nevertheless the French authorities are disposed to examine individual cases as and when the French consulates abroad receive such special demands.
It is noted that in the figure, 230,000, given above, observers do not include the Spanish refugees who seek shelter in France. The number of Spaniards fluctuates with the trend of developments in Spain and therefore cannot be placed accurately.
The final attitude of the French Government depends upon negotiations among the Powers, however, the same informed quarters concluded.—Havas.
London, Nov. 17.
The position and activities of German planters in Tanganyika were raised in the House of Commons yesterday.
Mr. Morgan Philips Price, Labour member for the Forest of Dean division of Gloucestershire, asked when ther Mr. Malcolm MacDonald, Secretary of State for the Colonies and the Dominions, was aware that German planters were heavily subsidized by the Government of the Reich and, therefore, were able to compete on unfair terms with planters of other nationalities, Mr. Price also asked whether German Government credit was being used to purchase the land of non-Germans and whether, generally speaking, the German community was becoming a totalitarian state within another, state.
Governor to Examine Facts The Colonial and Dominions Secretary said that he was aware that statements had been recently made on this subject, and he was asking the Governor to furnish facts.
Asked whether this would include some information regarding the intensive Nazi propaganda that was going on in Tanganyika, Mr. Macdonald was understood to have replied affirmatively.
Mr. MacDonald also told the House that a telegram had been sent to the Governor of Tanganyika, authorising him to announce that the Prime Minister had given an answer in the House of Commons on Monday, to the effect that the British Government was not contemplating the transfer of any territories under British administration.
