Forced To Fulfil Pledges.

Unfulfilled pledges amounting to
nearly $1,500,050 hate been recovered
by the Jewish War Relief Committee
of New York in the last two years
through civil actions. This became
known when a judgment was entered
in the First District Municipal Court
against Charles Berlin of Brooklyn
for a pledge of $200 made in 1922.
The judgment includes the interest
and costs to the amount of $215.
The Jewish War Relief Committee
held a campaign in 1922 to raise $15,-
000,000 for the relief of war-stricken
Jews in Europe and I'alestine. The
quota for New York City was $1,000,-
000, and 92,000 persons contributed
cash and pledges for that amount.
When the time came for the collections
however, the committee found that it
had on its list hundreds of persons
who were reluctant to redeem their
pledges. After repeated efforts to col-
lect the money the committee decided
to carry the cases to court.
The suits are brought under the
laws of contract and are supported by
an Appellate Division decision which
holds that the subscriber is legally ob-
ligated, since the committee, which
had obtained other pledges on the
strength of those previously received,
had itself incurred a legal obligation.
