Work for refugees becomes important issue in Britain and Holland
London April 16. Percy Alden, a member of parliament and British representative on refugee affairs since the war’s start, urges urgent employment and housing for Belgian refugees in Holland and Poppa. Official estimates place Belgian refugees in England at 180,000 plus 18,000 wounded in hospitals, with 69,000 more wounded and 46,400 children under sixteen. Alden warns of demoralization if work and homes are not provided, notes refugees in Holland live in churches and sheds, and proposes building thousands of wooden three room huts that refugees could assemble and later move to Belgium, requiring about 500,000 dollars for proper housing and to restore family life during temporary exile.
