Dr. Louis Fitch, leader of the Canadian ORT, today received a cable from the Central Committee of Polish Jews in Lublin asking for immediate shipment of motors, sewing machines, knitting machines and equipment for Jewish vocational training schools.
The cable, signed by Dr. Emil Sommerstein, chairman of the Lublin Jewish committee, came in reply to an offer of relief made by the Canadian ORT to the Jews in Poland. Dr. Sommerstein also asked the ORT to send raw materials in large quantities in order to provide work for Jewish artisans.
