Evacuation Plan May Be Curtailed

By .1. I. lander-son

Canadian Press Stall Writer

LONDON. July 10 - (C? Cable)— The British Govern- ment has made no decision yet on thc future of the large- scale plan to evncunte thou- sands of children to Canada and the United States. But there are indications the plan will be curtailed considerably.

Shipping space and the Iioyal Navy's lack of spare ships to provide adequate convoys are tilt‘ MK llmblfima but iii some quarters it is being suggested that Washington should be ap- prnached for permission to use United States ships.

"The plan has not been drop- pcd but I believe it will be re- duced considerably in scope," iiii authoritative source declar- ed tonight.

This source suggested that while the plan was conceived on the basis of thousands of children going overseas, it might be reduced to a scale of hundreds leaving this country. lie emphasized the filial decis- ion had not been made by the government.

(At Ottawa an offii-iiil said there would be iii-ell disappointment through- oiit (‘aiiada if thc plan were abandolicil. "All the machin- ery is ready here now for ilie i"\"\<‘i'~-1llfll1." this official said. “l’._'l- just have to turn the liivitrli and the organization uili start t0 receive and care for these children for the dura- tl-ii oi’ the wan“)

if the government schema for the children is stopped the llfivate evacuation of children will be stopped as well. it was indicated.

Briiainis homesteads were in the path of the fire. The battle 0t’ Britain had start- ed zind the battle of Britain was also the battle of Can- aria.
