Permission to send raw materials, free of duty, to their relatives in Russia, who are now among the “declassed.” has been granted Jews in countries abroad, including America. An agreement signed today between the Comzet, governmental department, and the Ort Association, which promotes trades and agriculture among the Jews in Russia, makes this possible.
The great importance of the new agreement was pointed out since a large number of Jewish artisans are lacking work due to the shortage of raw materials. These can now be supplied by Jews abroad, who can send them directly to their relatives here.
