Reports on the Jewish situation in Germany, Austria, Poland, Roumania and Czechoslovakia were considered at today’s meeting of the Board of Jewish Deputies.

The Board decided to take a hand in procuring further particulars of the ritual murder libel case now pending in Czechoslovakia and also to consider the difficulties encountered there by Jewish Staatenlose, Jews who lost their citizenship due to the map changes as a result of the World War. Another decision taken was to assist the Czechoslovakian Jews with materials to combat the projected compulsory Sunday closing law, which the Czechoslovakian government intends to enact.

The Deputies also resolved to continue the representations to the Greek government for securing the modification of the Sunday Trading Law, which presses harshly on 80,000 Salonican Jews.
