Responsible Jewish leaders today ridiculed as absolutely fantastic a report appearing in the Sunday Chronicle stating that Jews were planning to raise a fund of £500,000,000 to fight governments conducting anti-Semitic propaganda. A. G. Brotman, secretary of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, stated to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that there was absolutely no foundation for the report. The Chronicle said that a meeting of Jewish leaders would be held in a village near Geneva this week to plan the “counter-offensive.”
