Assistance to Jewish refugees in Italy is being reorganized by the Union of Jewish Communities. The work of the dissolved Committee for Relief of Jewish Refugees will be continued on a restricted scale, concentrating more on material assistance than possible emigration and absorbing the work of local committees.
As the result of discussion of the question between the Union and the Italian authorities, the Union has named a commission headed by Vittorio Valobra to study the refugee question. On the basis of this investigation a memorandum will be presented to the Ministry of Interior, which, it is hoped, will bring greater cooperation from the Government on refugee matters.
