Speaking at the Anglo-Jewish Association meeting Sunday, Haham Gaster declared facts had shown that he was right in the attitude he had taken on the question of nationality for the Jews of Roumania. He had always insisted, he said, that it was unwise to refer to the minority clauses in approaching the Government. Roumania does not like it, he said.
The meeting approved grants in aid for Jewish schools in Bombay. Beirut and Damascus, as well as for the Evelina de Rothschild School in Jerusalem.
Reports submitted show the Bombay school had 450 pupils.
