Leaders of Polish Jewry will gather here tomorrow at a special conference to appeal to the Jews of the world for financial relief and for organizing wider assistance for the hundreds of thousands of Jews in Poland who have been reduced to dependence of charity.
The conference will be attended by representatives of the most important Jewish organizations in Poland. A special appeal may be addressed to the Joint Distribution Committee in America, pointing out that the sums assigned two weeks ago by the Joint Foundation in Paris as credits for Polish Jews are merely a remittance of old funds previously collected in Poland.
Invitations to the conference were issued over the signatures of Rabbi Rubenstein of the Wilno Jewish community; Rafael Szereszewski, leading Jewish philanthropist; Dr. Joshua Thon, president of the Jewish parliamentary club, and Rabbi Dr. Schorr.
The conference expects to provoke greater interest in America in the fate of Polish Jewry. It is felt here that American Jews must concentrate their relief activities on Poland this year if they wish to save Polish Jewry from economic annihilation.
