THE LORD MAYOR’S FUND
GIFT FROM TANGANYIKA (British Official Wireless) RUGBY, Dec. 12. (Received Dec. 13. at 7 p.m.) Including a gift of £2OOO from Tanganyika, the Lord Mayor’s Red Cross Fund rose yesterday to £869,000 —an increase on the day of £4OOO. _ A German Jewish refugee visited Mansion House and handed in a German gold 10-mark piece. He explained that he had been engaged in importing glass from Czechoslovakia, and after that became impossible from Finland. His business had now disappeared so he had decided to make a gift before he had nothing left to give.
