D. May, brother of the Belgian Minister in Washington and president of the Jewish Consistoire of Belgium, and Chief Rabbi Wiener of Brussels, are heading a relief committee which has just been established in order to take care of Jewish refugees who have poured into Belgium in the last few weeks.

The number of German-Jewish refugees in Belgium is estimated to exceed 3,000.

The Union of Leather Merchants formed a boycott committee against Germany. Last night, after a huge protest meeting, a crowd consisting of 2,000 youths demonstrated before the German Consulate shouting “perish Hitler”.
