The largest Jewish relief conference in Great Britain was opened here Sunday under the chairmanship of Dr. Joseph H. Hertz, Chief Rabbi of Great Britain.
Dr. Jochelman was elected chairman of the conference. The Anglo-Jewish Board of Deputies, the Oze and the Ort were represented at the conference.
Dr. Leon Reich, former president of the Club of Jewish Deputies in the Polish Sejm, who arrived here, declared at the conference that the creation of a credit bank for Polish Jews is the greatest necessity.
Mr. Otto Schiff in a moving appeal declared that it is the holy task of every Jew in the British Empire to exercise self-denial in order to create the necessary relief fund.
