Refugee Committee
To Limit Purpose
Of Surveys
Will Consider Only
Those Fleeing Germany,
Group Decides
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Governmental Execu-
tive Committee on Refugees will
continue its surveys of possible
homes for migrants, but its present
purpose will be limited to the prob
lem of refugees from Germany.
This decision, reached at the
groups final meeting yesterday, was
modification of President Roose-
velt's proposal for resettling 10,000,-
900 or 2o0.o00,O00 persons who may
become refugees as a result of the
war
The committee said that informa-
ton gathered in the surveys might
be useful if the condition described
by the President should ever arise,
but British and French representa-
tives objected to such an outlook.
They said they would win the
war, and, consequently, there would
be no such refugee problem. Even
the present German refugee prob
lem would no longer exist after the
allies victory, they contended.
This viewpoint became known last
week after the President, on Octo-
Der II, had made an address to the
committee describing his plan.
Paul Van Iceland, former Premier
of Belgium, discussed the refugee
problem, including 1t was UNDER
stood, financial aspects, with Mr..
Roosevelt, but would make no COM
ment upon leaving the White House.
The committee members plan to at
tend tea at the White House to-
day.

BY the Associated Press.


RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 27.-Gov.

Gov. OConor of Maryland had sug-
gested enforcement of roadside
Identification by statute that the
general objective of roadside i'm
provement by legislation was COM
mendable'
Virginia already has a billboard
regulation act that seeks by taxa
ton to restrict the erection of plac-
ards and billboards along the high
ways. Tens of thousands of signs

the appearance and beauty of our
material roadways" and suggesting
that by establishing reasonable
limitations" the value of property
abutting on the highways might "be
enhanced"
Representatives of the Associated
Clubs of Virginia for Roadside De-
velopment conferred with officials
in Richmond yesterday concerning
the advisability of offering clarifying
amendments to the billboard law at

ThesJapanese Embassy announced
today that it had been informed
by its government in Toxic that no
measures were taken by that gov
ernment to ban publication, wholly
or in part" of the recent speech of
United States Ambassador Joseph
c. Grew.

Japanese policies in China. Later,
it was reported that only part of
his address had been published in
Japanese papers.
In explanation today, the Japa-
nese Embassy said 1t had made in
quiry and received an official dis
patch from Toxic to the effect that
the America-Japan Society itself
had withheld the full manuscript
because of plans to arrange publica-
ton itself at q later date. Pre-
sumably, the Embassy continued,
this action was responsible for
failure of the press to report the
speech in full.

Navy Day Letter
Roosevelt Commends
U. S. Observance

In recognition of Navy Day, OBJ
served today, President Roosevelt
wrote Acting Secretary of the Navy
Edison as follows:
II. is pleasure to commend again
to our countrymen the annual OBJ
servance of Navy Day in accordance
with the established custom of set
ting apart the birthday of Theodore
Roosevelt for that purpose On this
81st anniversary of the birth of that
distinguished American, it seems
particularly fitting to pay tribute to
the foresight that prompted him to
say: We ask that the work of up
building the Navy, and of putting
the United States where it should be
put among maritime powers, go for
ward without break
"At one of the most tragic periods
in human history, the United States
is blessed in that we are at peace
with all the world. That peace we
shall strive to maintain by ali hon.
orable and just means. With world
in arms. this country is compelled as
never before to maintain an ade-
quate and positive defense. The
most promising way to preserve our
peace lies III the ability to defend our
sea frontiers.
Navy Day brings to mind my long
and delightful association with the
Navy. I wish again to express my
thanks and those of my countrymen
for the devotion to duty and the 10y
atty Of Navy personnel; these quail
ties conduce to an unsurpassed mo-
rale.
Il should like to emphasize the
confidence that our citizens have in
their first line of defense. It is q
faith of free men in the defenders
of the democratic tradition; it is
trust that our citizens repose In .
