TANGANYIKA’S GIFT
BRITISH RED CROSS GERMAN JEWS DONATION (British Official Wireless.) Reed. 9 a.m. RUGBY, Dec, 12. Including a gift of £2OOO from Tanganyika, the Lord Mayor's Red Cross fund rose yesterday to £B69,ooo—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 the gift before he had nothing left.
