AN APPEAL TO JEWS. (Per United Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, May 14. The President of the Christchurch Jewish Congregation has received the following cablegram from London; —A terrible crisis in East European Jewry makes a fresh appeal necessary by the United relief organisations of Great Britain. A million co-religionists are in the grip of starvation and pestilence and there are over a hundred thousand homeless orphans. Dr Nansen, the High Commissioner of the League of Nations telegraphs: “The situation is desperate among the Jewish population. Tm,mediate large foreign relief is necessary.” Help us to avert an appalling catastrophe. We hope for the immediate, energetic co-operation of all Jews in the British Empire.
