the Conte di Savoia on April 22,
for a six to eight weeks' speaking
tour in behalf of the American Jewish
Joint Distribution Committee's 1937
Campaign, in a statement issued on
shipboard declared that the Jews of
Poland were being "cut off from any

misery, intensified by the boycott
campaign of anti-semites, but he

Mr. Asch said of the Joint Distri-

thankfulness of millions of starving
in Europe, just as in the days of
