Cables of protest to the British government and to the League of Nations are being despatched in hundreds. The majority of Jewish newspapers have opened public subscriptions for a Palestine relief fund.
The Jewish women’s organization despatched an appeal to Miss Bondfield, only woman member of the British Labor cabinet, urging that British womanhood raise her voice against “the shameful slaughters of the Jewish population of Palestine.”
The Club of Jewish deputies despatched cables of protest to the British government, the League of Nations and to the Palestine High Commissioner.
Feeling ran so high that when the Yiddish daily newspaper, “Tog” published in Vilna, carried an editorial unfavorable to Palestine, a group of Zionist youth invaded the editorial offices causing much damage.
Polish Jewry’s answer to the Arab attacks was the departure today of 50 Chaluzim for Palestine.

Reports received here from Kovno and Berlin state that a number of Chaluzim are proceeding today from these cities to Palestine.
