Dr. Joseph J. Schwartz, chairman of the European executive council for the Joint Distribution Committee, announced during a press conference today that his organization was fully prepared to march behind the victorious Allied armies in North Africa, to relieve want and suffering among the civilian populations.

Dr. Schwartz is returning within a few days to his post at the European headquarters of the Joint Distribution Committee in Lisbon from where he plans to go immediately to North Africa to pave the way for the arrival of two relief directors which the JDC is dispatching to that territory.
