(Reuters) - Malaya Friday he- came independent and the loth member of the Commonwealth When the town clock struck the Union Jack was Both Vienna government has under considera- tion a plan to make airplane space available to some Hun-E garian refugees in Canada desir-t ing in return to their homeland. it was learned Friday. No decision has been taken pending word from Budapest that any Hungarians accepting the fa- cility would be readmitted to Hungary. and from Vienna that they would be accepted by Aus- tria as travellers in transit. Officials in the immigration say that it vias bound to happen. in such a large movement as in- volved the Hungarians who fled their homeland after last No- vembor's uprising. that some would find adjustment in a for- eign country difficuli. -Since last N o v e m b e r 33,000 Hungarians have entered Canada. SMALL NUMBER Canadian officials say that. if any such persons appear unlikely to become contented Canadians. the country would be better off without them. The number in- volved would be relatively small. Roy Shaeffer, a Canadain citi- zen employed by the Polish lega- tion here to handle Hungarian af- fairs. says the number ls close to l.ii00. He said Friday that language difficulties have caused number of Hungarian immigrants to feel devaatingly insecure." Applications for H u n g a ri a a Are Awaiting Word From And Budapest OTTAWA (CF)-The Canadianiravel documents had been re- ceived from more than '800 by mail and from more than 1,000 who had appeared at the lega- tlon's Hungarian affairs office personally. Poland watches over Hungary's interests in Canada in the absence of direct diplomatic relations between the two coun- tries. Zia ISSUED Mr. Shaeffer said 213 travel documents were issued to Hun- garians before the expiry last March Iii of the general amnesty accorded by the Hungarian gov- ernment ior citizens who had fled. Applications since had to go to Budapest for approval. He had 300 approved applications on hand awaiting for the persons involved to pick up once their transportation was arranged. Hungarians who had settled in communities in which there al- ready had been considerable Hun- garian settlement, as in Toronto and Hamilton. usually adjusted quickly to new surroundings. The Polish legation said the Ca- nadian external affalra deart- ment informed it Aug. 14 that Canada has under consideration a plan to make space avaiiablo to Hungarians desiring repatria- tion. on government - chartered aircraft bound to Vienna to pick up Hungarians awaiting transpoh tntion to Canada.
