French to Close Refugee Camps as 60000 Remain in France
French officials say time is nearly up for Spanish Civil War refugees in France. Of the original 500000 men and 168000 women and children who crossed the border, 348000 have returned to Spain or sought refuge in Latin America or other countries. About 6000 in camps may soon be assimilated into the war effort, while 155000 remain in France with 50000 assigned to French industry. Approximately 34000 are considered political refugees and could be obligated to join mobilized labor while remaining free to leave. Government spending on refugees since early 1938 exceeds 26 million francs with private aid undetailed.
