The French Committee for the relief of German refugees, headed by M. Painlevé and Baron Edmond de Rothschild, has issued an appeal for funds as well as a protest condemning the German policy of carrying out internal reform on the basis of hatred and at the expense of the rights and the economic and physical security of German Jewry.
