Rabbi Silver-co-chairman of the United Jewish Appeal, declared in a message to Red Cross Chairman Norman H.Davis that “the tragedy which has overtaken the peoples of Europe knows no boundaries of race or religion.”
Catholic Archbishop Curley of Baltimore and Episcopal Bishop Freeman of Washington emphasized that all religions – must cooperate in support of the Red Cross, which ministers to all without respect to color, race, nationality or creed.
