HOSPITALITY FOR GERMANS
Sta,—Some 500 German students are now in this country, helping with the harvest, and will be staying in harvest camps in Nottinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Lincolnshire, Lancashire, Wiltshire, Yorkshire and Gloucestershire, until the middle of November. We feel that this is a good opportunity to show them something more of the life of this country, and we therefore suggest, with the full consent of the Ministries concerned, that they should accept private invitations for a few weeks after they have finished the harvest work. The Home Office has agreed to a further stay of one month, and we would ask whether some of your readers might offer hospitality to one or more of them. The return fare from this country is assured, but hosts would have to be responsible for expenses incurred during the students' stay with them.
A liaison office for the German harvest students has been set up at 43 Parliament Street, London, S.W.1, and we would be grateful if readers would communicate with it direct, and as soon as possible, of they have hospitality to offer. This seems an opportunity, at relatively small expense, to make a positive contribution to the cause of
international understanding.—Yours faithfully, ERICH HIRSCH, Secretary, German Educational Reconstruction. 15 James Street, Long Acre, W .C.2.
