A conference to discuss ways and means for providing Jewish aid to Russia in response to the appeal for such aid from the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee in Kuibyshev will be held here on August 30, it was announced today by Morris Meyer, editor of the London Jewish Times and chairman of the United Jewish Committee.
Addressing a press conference, Mr. Meyer today stated that the United Jewish Committee wishes that “the Jews in Russia who sent their appeal to us as fellow Jews should know that we respond to this appeal not only together with other people resident in this country, but also as Jews who, though holding various views and confecting opinions on many subjects, have united in order to mobilize the Jewish population in Britain to give every possible aid to Russia in her fight against Nazi barbarism.”
