The Committee, which was instructed to co-operate with the Canadian Committee, will also protest to the government which will be requested to take steps to curb the anti-Semitic incitement.
Speakers at the meeting stressed the danger to the Jewish community, if the agitation is permitted to continue.

He declared himself personally ready to institute legal action against the papers. Other speakers included H. Wolofsky, Z. Rabinovitch, Rabbi Julius Berger, Alderman B. Schwartz.
