Example: London is running a two months' campaign to raise £3000 to cover the cost of settlement for 150 refugees. Biographies and photographs of adopted refugees have been supplied to a large number of London organisations and local committees in the Region are adopting Spanish families. This system to be extended to every region.

5. To arrange for the distribution of the members of the International Brigades still in camps in France amongst all democratic countries, Great Britain to take special responsibility for the 200 Czechs, and to arrange the necessary guarantees.
6. To recommend to the Spanish Medical Aid Committee to take responsibility for providing a hospital in France for the wounded and sick refugees.
