Committee Joins Conference in Protest
Against Hungary's Persecution of Jews '

August Designated as
Labor Zion Building
Campaign Month

The month of August has been
designated by the Labor Zion-
ists and its affiliated organiza-
tions of Detroit as campaign
month for a building fund of
$100,000.
The new Labor Zionist Center
should serve as a home for all
the branches of the Jewish Na.
tional Workers Allia lunbese, and
the
of the
Poale Zion-Zeire Zion, of the
Pioneer Women's c
you Ni t o h rrg is routps ‘ql
ehaab‘enri, m. chairman
Schauer,
of this campaign, announced that
a good beginning toward this
fund has been made at the first
few meetings of the building
committee. Over $40,000 in cash
and pledges came in through do-
nations ranging. from $150 to
$5,000.
Among the postwar Jewish
problems Palestine will occupy
an important place side by side
with the many Jewish problems
in the United States. It is, there-
fore, urgent that all efforts of
both young and old; members,
as well as sympathizers, of the
Labor Zionist movement be con-
centrated in helping to carry
out the above mentioned tasks,
An appropriate Center would
help greatly in performing our
tasks properly.
It is, therefore, the hope of
the Building Committee that the
Jewish community of Detroit in
general, and the Labor Zionists
members in particular, will re-
spond to the call and help make
the campaign a success.

It is all on the hush-hush level
now, but the United States Gov-
ernment at least, has been work-
ing hard to rescue the Jews in
Hungary—and there is a good
chance of success.
The first steps were warnings
from the President, House For-
eign Affairs Committee, and Sen-
ate Foreign Relations and the
State Department that further
persecution of the Jews would
not go unpunished. Then the
War Refugee Board asked Arch-
bishop Spellman of New York
to make an appeal for humani-
tarian action by his co-religion-
ists in Hungary.
\
As a direct result of these and
other protests came Regent Nich-
olas Horthy's offer to the Inter-
national Red Cross to release all
Jewish children under 10 who
can obtain foreign visas and all
adults with Palestine visas.
The Horthy proposal was trans-
mitted by the Red Cross in Gen-
eva to its delegation here, and
forwarded to George L. Warren
of the State Department, who
is concerned with all refugee
problems, and to John W. Pehle,
executive director of the War
Refugee Board, with a request
that the United States take ac-
tion to provide visas to the Unit-
ed States and to persuade other
countries to do likewise.
Meanwhile the Red Cross has
been given permission to furnish
