An extensive campaign is now being conducted among the Jews of China and the Far East to get them to participate in the relief work for the Jews in the Eastern European countries and in Palestine.
The relief campaign is conducted in the same manner as it is in America by the Allied Jewish Campaign, reports the Shanghai English weekly, “Israel’s Messenger,” editorially advocating the great relief cause.
“Pogroms, hunger, epidemics, an army of helpless orphans and over two million souls without means for livelihood are waiting for your help,” the paper writes. “If no relief comes immediately, every Jewish institution in Eastern Europe that was established with great energy is doomed to destruction. It is impossible in a few years to heal the wounds that pogroms, revolutions and wars have brought upon the Jewish body. More time is necessary for that purpose, and our happier brothers in other countries must come to the rescue,” is the appeal of “Israel’s Messenger.”
