Le Directeur eat naturellement très désireux

de faire tout oe qui est en son pouvoir pour aider les

réfugiée russes, et 11 regrette d'autre part Infiniment

de ne pouvoir donner suite à la demande de Mlle Vaoaresoo,

mais un oas semblable est tout A fait en dehorn de sa

compétence, «t il ne dispose d 1 aucun moysn d'obtenir des

exceptions A la règle établie.

Vous series bien altoeble de bien vouloir exposer

le situation A Ml le Vaoaresoo, en lui exprimant tous nos

regrets. Vous pouvez ajouter qu'une conférence lnter-gouver­

nemental e doit se réunir prochainement dans le but

d'examiner toute la question des certlfioats d'identité,

et qu'elle apportera sans doute des modifications, et nous

l'espérons, des améliorations, au système actuelÀement en

vigueur.

Veuillez agréer, cher Monsieur, l'assurance de

mes sentiments distingués.

My deep Baker,

Very many thank» for your letter of the 10th

October, acquainting me with the résulté of your dlacua-

8lone with various people retarding the question the

continuation of our delegations In Oreeoe.

You wllJ have reeelvod my telegrsm of the 2nd

November, In whloh I Informed you that Zwerner had

already eetabllshed a email sub-offloe In A then under

Xotelnlkof, who, you may remember, asilsted Corfe In the

early days of the High Commission. Kotelnlkof has, aa a

matter of fact, already performed very useful work In

Athens, whloh, I believe, met with the warm approvsl of

the ureek Government.

Iw am entirely in agreement with the second

proposal contained In your letter --r the organisation

by our delegations In Creeoe of c o ..vo/b of . rmonlans who

del8re to be transferred to Lrlvon. As a cetter of fact,

during the last 12 months, between 2 to 3000 Armenian

refugees have been ao tranaferred to Armenia, anâdea you

imOH, bb a reault of a very careful censue carried out

by Zwerner, no fewer than 15.000 refugees have reglatered

for evacuation to Armenia.

In prosecution of that policy, I continued about

thla time last year with Oustlnoff, the soviet Minister

In Athens, the negotlstlons which had been started by

1

Philip BAKEK, fcaq. Aohmetaga,

Gorvin in tioacow, for the eachange of 3000 Armenian

refugees In Oreeoe egelnet a alml1er number of Greeks

In South Russia. Dr. Nanaen prosecuted thoee negotiations

to e euooeeeful conclusion during hie journey to Ruaala

la at summer, and you will probably remember that during

the Assembly Dr. Nanaen was Informed that a definite

agreement on the subjeot had been reached by the lntereated

Oovernmenta. Childe end Zwerner naturally offered the

services of our delegatlona In Ore*oe for the purpoae of

organising refugee convoya, which Included the obtaining

of the neoeaaary vlaaa and other depi rture faollltlea,

and the securing of voluntary certificates from the

refugees. In accordance with established practice. Theee

offers were, however, declined by the Greek Government,

which Intimated that the Soviet representatives were making

the necessary arrangements.

It seemed necessary to accept that situation, but

Zwerner since received appeals for intervention from

numerous Armenian refugees, who oompialned on the one hand

that as political refugees it would be dangerous for they

to be sent to Armenia, and *n the other hand, that as

much as 400 drachmas $e r head were being demanded from

them for transporf'^emd^visa fees.

In view of the limited mandate conferred on the

tiefugee Service by the Governing Body, the Office d œ s

not feel called upon to intervene in an arrangement

between two Governments, but there can be no doubt that

Dr. Nansen, as High Commissioner for Refugees, has, by

virtue of the negotlatlona referred to above, accepted

a definite responsibility in the matter, and would be

placed In a difficult position if any of these refugees,

on arrival in Armenia, were subjeoWto any hardships as

a result of their ^ast political activities.

1On the other hand, it would seem that steps

should be taken to prevent the exploitation of the

refugees who ere entitled, as a result of the offer made

by the Greek delegation to the Council In June of laat

year, to at any rate free transport to Armenia, If not

to free entry visas. These dlffloultlea oould be avoided

If the refugees were evacuated to Armenia by means of the

machinery of our delegations, which has worked so well in

the pest.

I have therefore. In my old capacity of Assistant

High Commissioner to Dr. Nansen, requested him to make

appropriate recommendations In this sense to the respec­

tive Governments, and should be grateful f<** enythlng

you oould do on the spot to further any proposals he may

make to the Greek Government.

The Greek Government's contribution for the

maintenance of our delegations In Greece expires on the

31st December, and I must oonfees to feeling, In view

of the existing situation, some considerable hesitation

In Inviting the Greek Government to renew Its contttbhtlon

for 1926.

I am sorry to encroach on your leave In this

■ay, but must plead my anxiety to avoid a repetition of

the Triton episode as my excuse.

With kindest regards to Mrs. Baker and yourself,

Youra ever.

My deer Childs,

With referenoe to your confidential letter BIT -3x-

113 of the 19th October , I now enclose for your InformstIon

e copy of a letter I hsve addressed to Baker whloh summerlees

the attitude of the Office towsrds the present evacuation

of Armenian refugees from Greece, as well ss the action I

have taken In ray capacity of Assistant High Conrnlssloner f<r

Refugees.

I am sorry that through an unfortunate error a

confirmation copy of mv telegram to Zwerner was not sent to

you dlreot. It is of course understood that you should

receive automatically copies of all communications of Impor­

tance sent to Zwerner or any other of your representatives.

I also enclose oo les of the communications sent

on this subject to the Greek Government.

The lnstnuotlons sent to Zwerner to obtain voluntary

departure certificates from these refugees wore transmitted

In accordance with recommendation no.5 In your telegram to

me of the 10th October. It «as of course understood that the

taking of voluntary departure certificates by our delegations

implied the requisite facilities to secure the effective

operation of those certificates In connection with reorultl ng

and departure arrangements.

In view of the observations oontalned In ray letter

to Baker, you may perhaps deem desirable to proceed at an

early date to Athene with a view to clarifying the whole

situation.Youra sincerely,

My dear Chllde,

You will have seen from our Report to the

Assembly, and from the various resolutions adopted

thereon, that the Offioe he a been authorized to oend

delegations of the Refugee Service to tiuenos Aires and

Rio de Janeiro.

You will have gathered that the duties of those

delegations will be to develop the negotiations started

by Procter, with a view to the transfer of refvirees to

South America.

fte are anxious for theeo appointments to be

taken up at the earliest possible moment, and in any ease

should like the dèlegatè»nto enter into their functions

on the spot not If ter than January lot next, so that

arrangements should oe made for their departure not Inter

the» the beginning of ocember.

The delegation at Buenos Aires would have to

explore tne posslbllitieo not only in the Argentine but

al® in Uruguay, Paraguay, and Guile. The salaries and other

expenses which would be placed at the disposal of those

delegations are set out on pege 44 of our Report to the

Assembly.

Before examining various applications which have

been received for these posts, I am anxious to know whether

in principle you would like to consider the possibility cf

taking charge of the delegation in tiuenos Aires, which would

Dear Childs,

I have read with interest your letter of

the 6th October in which you enclose me extracts from

a letter from your refugee protégé working in the

Sarre. As it would appear that this refugee has found

work through the S.G.I., could you not perhaps invite

Dollinger’s observations on the allegations that the

terms of the contract have not been carried out,

Yours sincerely,

for Chief of the Refugee Service.

With reference to your letter of the

Dear Mr. Sohlesinger,

With reference bo the question cf Russian

students and professors in general, and more parti­

cularly to your letter of the 10th October, I am

sorry to state that It would be Impossible for us to fintf

the money asked for, all the money available from our

private funds being required for advancèng the trans­

port expenses of the refugees who have found employment

In other countries. As you know, the sums at our

disposal are not very large, and it would be very

serious to deplete our capital at the ppesent time

by a sum of 5000 marks.

I am however writing to the International

Student service, asking them to consider the

possibility of furnishing the money you require.

Informed me that you are in urgent need of 200 departure

visas for married men, and by this I presume she means men

with wives and possibly children.

As you know, it la somewhat difficult to obtain

contracts in France for other than single men, but during

e recent meeting of the Refugee Commlaslon in Paris, I was

given to understand by the représentative of the Société

Générale d'immigration that they would be prepared to

conalder issuing double contracts to married couplea, If the

witfeswould undertake certain farm or domestic duties. Will

you therefore be so good as to let me know oa soon as possible

how many married couples you have In Constantinople who are

qualified and willing to take advantage of this possibility.

At the same meeting, M. Lebelle intimated that

he vas now In a poaltion to receive furtner groupa of

refugees from Constantinople, who would be qualified to

undertake Industrial work. 1 ahould be glad therefore if you

would at tne aeme time acquaint me with the numbers and

eue 1If1oatlone of the Industrial refugees who are reglatered.

In order that I may communicate them to M. Lebelle.

Dear Mr. Oellati,

With reference to your letter no.501 of the 7th

November, I gathered during a recent meeting of the

Refugee Commission In Paris that If you could find 200

filles de ferme and 50 filles de laiterie among the

Russian refugees In Eathonia, for employment In r'renoe,

the Société Générale d'immigration would be willing to

accept an equal number of male agricultural workers.

Would you therefore be so good as to discuss this

matter with the representative of the Société Générale

d'immigration in Riga, and ascertain whether it would not

be possible to place 250 refugee agriculturist married

couples on the basis of this suggestion.

As you know, it is the general practice of the

Société Générale d 1 Ironigration to advance the transport

expenses of agricultural workers recruited by them, and

we of course prefer, whenever possible, to take advantage

of such advances. Nevertheless, es I am so anxious to

facilitate in every possible way the commencement of an

evacuation of Russian refugees from the Baltic States, I.

should be only too willing to recommend Dr. Nansen to make

an advance of the necessary transport expenses from his

funds, against adequate guarantees for their reimbursement

within a reasonable period.

Dear MT. Scherbetokoy,

During h reocnt vlait to Brussels, I had

several conversations with reference to the possibility

of introducing Hussian refugee labour IrA'Belgian coal mines.

I should therefore be interested to have

certain information regarding the Russian refugee miners

actually in Germany, and I should be very much obliged if

you would let me -mow, at your earliest convenience:

1) whether, among the rtusslan refugees who registered to

go to Brazil, there ere any qualified miners,

2) whether, from the 3000 miners mentioned in your census

figures, it would be possible to raise a group of about

400 to 500 to go to Belgium.

I should like to lay particular emphasis on the

fact that the greatest possible cere would have to be

exerciaed in selecting these refugees, as the result of a first

trans.'er would either open up interesting possibilities for

the introduction of refugee workers on a large scale, or would

close «Je door of Belgium to further Hussian refugee immigra­

tion. It would therefore be absolutely essential that only

qualified minera should be selected, as it is feared that

workers who have had no experience of mining work would find

it uncongenial, and probably leave it before the termination

of their contracts, and I should be very grateful if you would

keep this fact in mind when carrying out the above enquiry.

Yours sincerely,, i v v r A \Mr. SCHERBATSKOY,
