United States Warned to Take Steps to Guard Against Being Swamped.
London.—The greatest exodus in history is looked for as soon as Europe finds the necessary transportation facilities. Information gathered by the British government indicates 10,000,000 persons are eager to leave the continent. The situation is regarded as full of perils.
Britain, fully aware of all that this exodus will mean, will continue its immigration restrictions. A government official said:
"Britain cannot sustain any more than it has, and the emigrants will likely seek homes in the United States."
Officials here are inclined to warn the United States to take steps guarding against being swamped.
British officials hope some 2,000,000 Jews of eastern Europe will go to Palestine, but no one has any idea of how to sustain the rest of the would-be emigrants except by such aid as to make it possible for them to stay in their respective native countries.
Storage of food, lack of production, and unsettled political and social conditions are expected to last for a long time all over Europe. Passenger ships are booked months ahead, but there are not enough vessels for carrying even the most important and immediate traffic.
