An appeal for aid for 1,700 German students now in exile either because of their Jewish descent or political opinions was issued here over the signatures of Lord Cecil of Chelwood, Dr. Chaim Weizmann, Professor Ernest Barker and William Ebor. Ninety per cent of the students are Jewish, the appeal said.
Funds were asked for the International Student Service, which is conducting work among the exiled German students.
