In Washington

WASHINGTON.-In spite of ev-
erything being done to make posi-
BILE the mass evacuation to the Uni
ted States of British children, it is
extremely unlikely that more than
a very small fraction of the young
sters in England can be brought
over here.
The obstacles in the way-both
material and otherwise-are for
midable.
What can be done is being done.
The House foreign affairs commit
tee has given a favorable report to
a bill to modify the neutrality law
so as to let U. S. flag mercy
Ships call at British ports to get
the children. The U. S. Committee
for the Care of European Children,
with the cooperation of three gov
eminent departments, is preparing
to see that every child who can get
ov : here may be placed in a good
home. A great deal of the red tape
connected with visas and passports
has been shipped, and the old quota
restrictions no longer stand in the
way.
Nevertheless, the problem hasn't
been solved yet by a long shot.
Foremost is the problem of ship.
ping. The U. S. Maritime Commits
sion is ready to put its three biggest
passenger vessels - the America.
Washington, and Manhattan - into
service. Between them, the three
ships could carry about 5000 chill
dren per round trip. British ship
ping to carry about $500 more is
also available.
But there are already 200, 000
children registered as in need OF
transportation. Bringing them over
at the rate of $500 every three
weeks would hardly be scratching
the surface.
One suggestion has been that Ca
madam troop ships he used to bring
the children over on their return
voyages. Objection voiced here is
that the Germans might well con-
slider such ships fair targets for
torpedoes, ever if they did agree to
the general principle of letting the
mercy ships come through I'm
scathed.
For that matter, no n knows
whether any kind of agreement can
be had from the Germans; lacking
it, the isolationists in House. and
Senate are almost certain to op-
pose the plan, on the theory that
the country would be too likely to
get into the war if an American
flag liner full of little children
should be sunk.
On top of all of this, even the
200, 900 children who r already
registered are but a fraction of the
eight or ten million British young
sters whose parents might want
them sent over to safety.
WHAT WILL
MIR. HITLER SAY?
Despite the obstacles, the work
of preparing to receive the children
is being pushed. Both State and
Justice Departments are cooper
ating. A committee, headed by
Marshall Field, is handling e
whole complicated job of finding
homes and financial sponsors for
the children, and is undertaking to
meet the youngsters as they ar
