London, Nov. 2Oth-On being asked whe.
Their the deportation Of workmen from Bel
GUM to Germany would interfere with the
work of the American Committee for relief
in Belgium, Mr.. Herbert @. Hoover, Chairman
of the Commission said, today. Intrinsically
the removal of even 25G,OOO workmen from
Belgium and northern France would not
materially affect the number OF mouths who
have to be fed as this numb Der would dimin-
i~h the total by only about three percent.
The needs of the 5000, 600 or so who remain
would not be less than before AMI for other
reasons their needs present q constantly
growing problem. There is no deportation
of persons directly or indirectly employed in
relief work. They are protected by c%ertii-
Gates which are issued by the relief commits
sion. Something like 100, 600 of such per-
sons are engaged as members of The local
committees in transportation work or as
bakers, millers, etc. We have at present
no statement to make as to the attitude of
the Allied Governments toward continuance
of relief or as to the rights or wrongs of the
measures taken by the German authorities.
We are filed with anxiety and trust some
solution cau be found so that the relief work
will not be jeopardized, because the welfare
of more than 1900, 900 helpless people Is at
stake.
