Saws All Germans
Should Stay Home
BY FRANK LEHNOFF

United Press Staff Correspondent
BERLIN, Aug. 3. (By Mail. -
The German government and espec-
tally the emigration office are OPP
ponents of emigration.
They are convinced that such per-
sons as desire to emigrate are just
the people Germany ought to retain
at home to help rebuild the nation.
The prospective "Aus-wanderer" are
among Germany's most industrious
folk; for the most part, they are la
borers and craftsmen. And, for the
craftsman there is work at home SO
soon as raw materials are at hand.
AS for the laborer, he is needed in
the fields and the factories, say the
government people.
