"Mr. Leavitt told me," said Mr.
Sobeloff, "that on June 21, the
J. D. C. arranged to transfer 375
refugees from Vienna, Prague
and Old Germany, by way of
Siberia and Yokahoma, to the
United States and South Amer-
ica. Refugees are also being
brought to Greece and Rumania
by air, he said, and from there
embarking on steamers sailing
for Palestine.
"Today," he stated, "$125,000
was sent by cable to Europe, of
which $25,000 was for refugees
and the native population in
Lithuania, and $100,000 for
Swiss refugees and for work in
Hungary and Rumania.
"Mr. Leavitt advises that re-
lief work continues in more in-
tensified form in Hungary, Ru-
mania, Switzerland, Lithuania
and Poland, as well as the spe-
cial work in Germany, Austria
and Slovakia. Although no Amer-
ican dollars are being sent into
Greater Germany, there arc now
850 feeding stations in Poland
alone. Relief work is also contin-
uing among the refugees in
South America and in Shanghai,
he said.
"Mr. Leavitt pointed out the
likelihood that help will be needed
shortly for work in England,"
continued Mr. Sobeloff. "It is ob-
vious that neither the British
government nor the leaders of
English Jewry can help the refu-
gees there as generously as they
have in the past.
"In his conversation Mr. Lea-
vitt declared that the situation in
France is still unsettled, and that
word has not been received from
Morris Troper, or Dr. Joseph J.
Schwartz, J. D. C's European di-
rector and assistant director, for
the past three days, but the un-
derstanding was that Mr. Troper
had left Bordeaux and was due
in Lisbon on Tuesday, where he
was to confer with Dr. Schwartz
and others."
Mr. Sobeloff recalled to the
meeting that many of the board
members had met Mr. Troper in
Detroit several months ago, and
that Dr. Schwartz had addressed
the Detroit Service Group Bud-
get Committee for the 1940 Al-
lied Jewish Campaign, last Feb-
ruary .

New Relief Problem Created
by Defeat of France

The defeat of France has cre-
ated a tragic relief and refugee
problem in the very country which
had given shelter and freedom to
hundreds of thousands of refu-
gees regardless of race or creed.
Up to the very last day that
France valiantly resisted invading
armies, funds contributed by
American Jewry to the United
Jewish Appeal, made possible
emergency relief for tens of
thousands of German Jewish refu-
gees in that country, who were
fleeing before the onslaught of
the forces that uprooted them
and destroyed their homes in Ger-
many. Through the Joint Distri-
bution Committee all available
resources were placed at the dis-
posal of French Jewish refugees
and relief committees in an effort

to stem the suffering of waves of
homeless men, women and chil-
dren exposed to the terrors of
war. Far greater funds will now
be necessary to alleviate the
plight of Jews in France and
to provide food and shelter for
the homeless and distressed.
Today in prostrate France, the
fate of 450,000 Jews, among
them 42,000 refugees from Ger-
many, is in the balance as the
danger of Nazi domination draws
closer. The destruction of de-
mocracy on the continent of Eu-
rope has created in its wake a
vast area of misery for the Jew-
ish people. The defeat of France
and the siege of England have
eliminated the last source of help
in Europe, placing upon Ameri
can Jewry the full responsibility
of rescue, relief and resettlement.
With the spread of distress
and need in Europe the constitu-
ent agencies of the United Jew-
ish Appeal find their resources
taxed to the vanishing point by
the new tasks of sustaining life
and hope for large sections of
European Jewry.
Despite difficulties resulting
from enlargement of the theater
of war, the Joint Distribution
Committee, the United Palestine
Appeal and the National Refugee
Service are continuing and broad-
ening their programs to the full
limit of the funds at their dis-
posal. Relief and feeding meas-
ures on a rising scale hie being
carried on in German-controlled
Poland, in Rumania, Hungary,
Lithuania and in Greater Ger-
many. New avenues of emigra-
tion to Palestine have been open-
ed and refugees are now being
brought to Greece and Rumania
by air and from there embarking
on steamers sailing for Palestine.
Others are to use the new route
across Russia, leaving from Stock-
holm and Vilna and passing
through Odessa on their way to
the Jewish Homeland with the
assistance of the United Pales-
tine Appeal.
