H.M. Caiserman, general secretary of the Canadian Jewish Congress, who is now aboard the Empire McCallum on route to Canada, is carrying 500 letters from Polish Jews to their relatives in the Dominion and 1,000 more for relatives in the United States, according to an announcement today by Saul Hayes, national executive director of the organization.

Mr. Caiserman has spent ten weeks in Poland studying the conditions of the surviving Jews in the country and seeking to speed the shipment of supplies and funds by the United Jewish Relief Agencies in Canada. He was accompanied by Samuel Lifshitz of Toronto, editor of the Canadian Jewish Weekly. Mr. Caiserman and Mr. Lifshitz, the first Canadian representatives to visit Poland since 1939, toured some 20 cities and towns in the country outside Warsaw.
