Representatives of the Middle East Rehabilitation and Relief Administration, an official British Government relief group with headquarters in Cairo, conferred here today with the Palestine Jewish Council for the Relief of European Jewry on the extent of the contributions that Palestine can make to the rehabilitation of devested Jewish communities in Europe.
