London reports that Germanys annexation of Bohemia and Moravia will not end the plan to move 3000 Sudeten Germans to Canada but could cut the number of emigrants. Authorities estimate 800 to 1200 anti Nazi Germans eligible for the program have been removed from Grecho Slovakia in recent weeks. Those remaining many are on the Nazi blacklist and may end up in concentration camps instead of Canada.
