The other conference is in Paris, regarding the desperate situation of 600.000 refugees from the Sudeten area (Sudetenland, today Czechoslovakia). The conference is hold by the"International Bureau for the right of asylum and aid to political refugees'.

Nevertheless all organizations were dicussing about the situation of the refugees in their own committees. Moreover letters of correspondence between organization memebers regarding the conferences are contained.
