§ 68. Mr. Manderasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will consider the advisability in connection with the refugee problem of taking steps to see that for every German refugee received into this country an appropriate sum shall be secured from German Nazi sympathisers living in this country, and that for the effective carrying out of this purpose a declaration of property held by Germans in this country shall be made?
§ Sir J. SimonThe answer is in the negative.
§ Mr. ManderIn view of the continued action of the German Government in expelling its citizens and refusing to allow them to take any of their property to the countries to which they go, would it not be a very appropriate manner to deal with that situation by the only sort of argument that the Germans would understand?
§ Sir J. SimonI can see many objections to the proposal which the hon. Member has made.
§ Mr. ManderIs not the real reason because Hitler has forbidden it?
