A Jewish refugee relief official, Dr. J. Robinson, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency today that Lithuanian Jewry approved the Government’s “favorable attitude” toward the refugee question.
He said cooperation with the authorities and the Red Cross was developing satisfactorily along lines of reciprocal understanding which gives “hope for future humanitarian attitude by the Government toward the refugees.” Except in one case, where 21 Jews were expelled, no refugees have recently been deported by Lithuania, Dr. Robinson added.
