One hundred and sixty foreign students have lost all means of communication with their homes and sources of finances due to American entrance into the war. Lawrence A. Mead, chairman of the Foreign Students Advisory Committee, stated yesterday.
These students are either citizens of enemy countries or have been cut off from their homes in friendly or occupied country due to the disruption of all communication, Mead related. Forty-seven Chinese students, along with two Australians, eight Filipinos, four Thai and one Maylayan are isolated although their countries are not at war with this country.
58 Enemy Aliens Moneyless
Students with German, Italian, and Japanese citizenship have lost all financial assets in addition to being classified as enemy aliens. Fifty-eight students in this category are now stranded without means of continuing their education, and with no possibility of returning to their homes. Another complication arises over the predicament of enemy alien scholarship students, whose stipends are now in danger of being discontinued.
Mead disclosed that the enrollment of foreign students had grown over seventy-five per cent in the past year, with the exception of Japanese registration, which had fallen off sixty per cent before Pearl Harbor.
