The Jews of Palestine are praised in the Moscow press today as being first among the Jews of the democratic countries to respond to the call for aid for the Russian Army.
An article in Pravda, reports that a delegation of the Palestine Victory League, from Jerusalem, has arrived in Teheran and brought with it a number of ambulances and a portable hospital as a gift of Palestine Jews to the Red Army.
“The delegation,” Pravda writes, “covered 2,000 kilometers traveling along desert and mountainous regions throughout Arabia and Persia. Jewish workers, colonists and men and women of all professions took an enthusiastic part in collecting the funds in Palestine which made the gift possible. These people have asked their delegation to convey greetings to the Red Army in its fight for civilization.”
