Dr. Bernard Kahn, European representative of the Joint Distribution Committee, who came to Poland to investigate the economic situation of the Jewish population in Poland has completed his work and is leaving for Berlin today.
Before leaving, Dr. Kahn called on the United States Minister in Warsaw and submitted a report on the work of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee to relieve the suffering of the Jewish population in the Polish Republic.
Dr. Kahn received a number of delegations who pleaded for immediate relief, including a delegation from the Warsaw Rabbinate. Representatives of the Rabbinate handed to Dr. Kahn an appeal addressed to American Jews, beginning with the words, “Rachmanim, B’nai Rachmanim.” (Merciful sons of the Merciful).
Of the $150,000 allotted by the Foundation of the Joint Distribution Committee and the Ica at its recent session in Berlin for Jewish credit institutions in Poland, 15 per cent will be assigned to the Jewish workingmen’s cooperatives.
