Jewish Emigrants

The Hague, Apr. 22.

The Government tabled in the Chamber a bill providing for a single large concentration camp for Jewish and other emigrants estimated to cost 1,000,000 guilders. The camp, which is destined to accommodate 2,500 inmates,.will cover an area of 200 acres. At present emigrants are interned at 26 different places in Holland which entails unnecessary costs and renders administration dif ficult. Transfer of the emigrants to other countries meets with great difficulties as no country except Palestine, is willing to accept them. During the last ten months only 339 Jews. were able to leave the country and ted the prolonged stay of the vast majority of emigrants must be considered.—Trans-Ocean.
