At the first session of the Dominion Executive of the Canadian Jewish Congress here yesterday a unanimous decision was made to raise $25,000 for the relief of stricken German Jewry.
The sum will be raised in a campaign to be conducted simultaneously throughout Canada in September.
A protest to the English government against the restriction of immigration to Palestine was voted.
The B’nai B’rith was invited to cooperate by representation on the anti-defamation committee of the Congress.
General feeling here is that the session strengthened the Congress in its work in Canada. H. M. Caiserman, general secretary, submitted an exhaustive report concerning activities of the anti-defamation and boycott organizations since the last conference.
The conference was well attended. Members of the Eastern Central Division; A. Heaps, M. P., representing the Western group and F. W. Jacobs, M. P., president of the Congress, who acted as chairman, were among those attending.
