est industries to spring up in Europe
according to the Jewish relief com
mittee which announced that it had
nipped one such case by bringing the

derfed him, while he pocketed funds
sent by Abraham's father for his sup
port. The committee experienced diff
ficulty in tracing the body as the rel
ative regarded him as such a good as
set that he was kept carefully con-
