largely of routine character so fur
as actual business transactions were con-
cerned. i.
The Catholic priest. who was to repre-
sent his church, was sick and could not
attend, but 1t was officially announced that
Bishop Van dc Vyver had readily agreed
to cooperate In the work. The Hebrew
Association was represented by Mr. Mil
