Germany Offer!
u. 5. 100000
Refugees

Continued from Page One)
refugees into the United States
to prevent them from roaming
over Europe.
The Germans agreed to send
three of these trains weekly into
Lisbon. with 500 refugees aboard
each train.
The Germans. however. de-
manded that the United States
agree to pay IN gold for the
passage of all the refugees from
Germany to Lisbon. as well as
from Lisbon 10 the United States.
The cost of transporting each
refugee was set at approximately
S445. of which S245 would go TO
the German railroads for the fare
from Germany into Lisbon and
only 5000 TO the United States
Line for the trip to America.
DELAY ACCEPTANCE
Three problems are delaying
American acceptance of the Ger
man proposal. One is the fear of
Germany smuggling spies and fifth
lcolumnists into the United States.
disguised as refugees.
A second is the problem of find
ing quotas for the refugees, since
the German limit is 1900 for a
six months period and the Germans
propose to release hundreds of
thousands. Some can be admitted
under visitors and scholastic visas.
The third is the fact that the
American Export Lines is pres
entity operating the New York to
Lisbon service and refuses TO yield
its run to the United States Line.
Purchase of the American Export
vessels, now on the Lisbon run,
however. would solve this problem.
One official said the United
States Line was willing TO take on
the refugee movement and would
use the liners Manhattan and
Washington in This service.
SUSPECT GERMANS
State d partm ent officials
frankly are puzzled by the German
move. One of their theories is that
the Germans are firing of guard
ing the refugees and prefer the
+ $245 in gold for each ene-a total
that could amount TO millions of
dollars contingent on the number
released to strengthen their cur
rency.
The state department meanwhile
is under great pressure from re-
ligious, racial and other organi-
cations to approve the plan to get
prosecuted refugees out of German
hands. Some of these organiza-
tions have agreed to shoulder all
costs and to assume responsibility
for the refugees after they reach
the United States.
Thus far. however. the state de-
partment has reached no decision.

Step by step. President Roose-

made TO the Allies at the outbreak
of hostilities, former Senator Rush
Holt of West Virginia declared in
Detroit today.
There is not the slightest
doubt In my mind that the adj
ministration has pledged itself
to declare war on Germany"
said the 35-year-old isolationist
and anti-New Dealer.
II believe that the diplomatic
correspondence which will be re-

war will show that this COM

said that Of that sum. only a
total of 81, 100000 in gold and
dollar credits are available for
purchases in this country.
He said that these credits had
declined by more than two and
billion dollars during
the first Is months of the war
and that British dollar assets were
Just about used up.
Morgenthau added:
"One vital factor In this drain
OF assets was the collapse of
France last Summer. When the
collapse came. the British took
over all French contracts in this
country although they no longer
had the help of French money
tn pay for them. British Iiabili-
ties were doubled. They were
left to face Germany alone.
The result was that the Brit
ish began tn lose gold and dollar
assets twice as fast after June

This war Is now costing the
British more than $1,000, 900

approximately so per cent Of the

penditure Is steadily mounting.
The British are raising
about 40 per cent of this cost
