A message of thanks from the British Government was delivered by the British Consul-General here to the Jewish Central Committee in appreciation of $16,000 which the Jews of Mexico sent to England to aid victims of Nazi air-raids.

The message said seven kitchens would be acquired with the money. Each kitchen will carry a bronze plaque: “Donated by the Jews of Mexico.”

A circular letter sent out by the Minister of Education to all school inspectors in Mexico instructs them to educate pupils of Mexican elementary and high schools against Nazism and to impress them with the idea that Hitler’s racial theory is a menace to humanity.
