An urgent appeal for an increased supply of matzoth for the forthcoming Passover was received by the Berlin committee for the supply of matzoth.
The committee, headed by Dr. Hildesheimer, announced today that as the result of the Russian appeal, its previous decision to limit its shipments will be revised. Notwithstanding the high import duty, further shipments will be made. Up to date, 27 carloads have been despatched, in addition to thousands of individual packages.
Money remittances coming from the relatives of Russian Jews in various parts of the world are an important factor in relieving the situation.
