The Jews in Canada will raise their quota of $1,500,000 for overseas relief, to be spent mostly through the Joint Distribution Committee, it was reported today by Samuel Bronfman, national president of the Canadian Jewish Congress at a meeting of the national executive of the organization.
Saul Hayes, executive secretary of the congress, reported that the immediate prospect of Jewish immigration into Canada was not very good despite the vigorous representations made recently on this subject to the Canadian Senate by the Jewish Congress.
The national executive of the congress decided to convene the seventh plenary session of all-Canadian Jewry here in March. It heard reports on the work of congress representatives at the Paris peace conference, where the congress joined other Jewish organizations in signing submissions of treaty drafts with Axis satellites.
