FOR APRIL DRIVE

RETAIN

Zionist federation. Mr. \Vise's asp- '
pointment to this post is his first
active participation in Jewish af-
fairs since his withdrawal some
years ago from his studies for the
rabbinate. Since that time, he has
written a number of books the last
of which, "Jews Are Like That,"
published under the pseudonym of
Analyticus, is arousing wide-
spread discussion in Jewish and
literary circles.
The Avukah's purpose is to fur-
ther the endeavors of the Jewish
people to reconstitute a National
Jewish Homeland in l'alestine, and
to stimulate Jewish cultural activ-
, ities among Jewish students in
American universities. It has
branches in 30 American colleges,
at which it is the representative of
the Zionist movement.
In taking over the Avukah work,
Mr. Wise will not only direct the
or
campaign and fund-
raising activities, but will also help
to edit publications, including a
l'alestine Anthology anti Zionist
Text Book, which have already
been undertaken and which con-
stitute a large part of the cultural
work of the movement. Mr. Wise
will also take part in the work of
forming new chapters in those col-
leges and universities where there
is as yet no Avukah group, and he
plans to meet with Jewish stu-
dents in the universities in order
to work out with them a more in-
tensive as well as broader program
of Jewish cultural activities.

In an interesting letter received
by Mr. Blumenthal this week from
Robert Marwil, the latter writes in
part as follows, front Jerusalem.
"As the representative of De-
troit Zionists, our stay has been
made very pleasant for us. Have
interviewed Dr. Ussiskin, Miss
Szold and Dr. Magnus, Judge
Frumkin, Rabbi Cook, Dr. Ruppin
and many lesser lights in Zionism.
One and all are optimistic about
the future of the land, but deeply
deplore the lack of funds at pres-
ent. If we could but bring home
to those who are delinquent in
their promises to the U. P. A. on
their pledges, the good that their
money would du here at the pres-
ent time, I feel we would do an
enormous amount of work. Keep
up the work you are sliming, be-
] cause every dollar now is needed
here badly."

as a whole. l'rovision for the United Ilebrew Schools for the cur-
rent year is sought, together with further provision for foreign relief,
which will be necessary, although in decreasing amounts. A subsidy
for the Hebrew University is sought for the first time and a renewal
of our subscription to the Hillel Foundation, the American Jewish
Committee, the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, and a large number
of national organizations which in one way or another are per-
forming services either to the Jewish community of Detroit or for
which our community has obligations.
