An appeal for monetary and other assistance to Jewish community of Aden, where scores of Jews have been killed by rioting Arabs ##ing the past ten days, has been received by the World Jewish Congress headquarters ## today.
In a cable signed “The Aden Jewish Sufferers,” it is stated that Arab mobs, including native troops, burned down two synagogues and the community’s only two ##bols, as well as pillaged and burned nearly every Jewish-owned shop and killed wounded many Jewish men, women and children. If it were not for British troops transit,” the cable said, the “whole Aden Jewry would have been wiped out.”
Immediately after receipt of the message, the Congress cabled the British ##sign Office and the British Governor of Aden, Sir Reginald Stuart Champion, and ##led on them to take “all necessary precautions to avoid repetition of last week’s ## and to rush supplies for the homeless and destitute Jews from the nearest sup## depots.” An appeal for supplies to be sent to the Jews in Aden was made to the ##te Department.
