An Actions Committee to Help North African Jews was formed here last night at a meeting attended by representatives of all Belgian Jewish organizations. The committee approved plans to launch a campaign between February 25 and March 25 for funds for the refugees from North Africa.

The committee was created after the delegates heard a report from a representative of the American Joint Distribution Committee on the needs of the North African Jews, particularly those who settled in France. The Keren Hayesod, which had been scheduled to launch its annual campaign among Belgian Jews on February 17, decided to delay the campaign for a few weeks.
