The Commission for Polish Relief, Inc., stated today that the German Government’s “full approval and consent” for non-sectarian relief work in Nazi occupied Poland was expected greatly to facilitate arrangements to be made for such assistance by Frederic C. Walcott, J. Edgar Rhoads and Arthur Gamble, representatives of the commission arriving in Berlin today. W.C. McDonald, who conducted the negotiations in Berlin, sails from Genoa for the United States on Nov. 24 to report on the results of his experiences.
The commission also announced receipt of cable reports from its representative in Rumania, Paul Super, stating that 20 well-organized relief centers for refugees there had been set up by the commission, with King Carol taking great interest in the relief work.
Meanwhile, it was announced that the three Polish Jewish leaders in New York, Jakob Apenszlak, Dr. Arjah Tartakower and Dr. Leib Wulman, had conferred with the commission, as well as with the Joint Distribution Committee’s Polish committee, regarding relief plans.
