stein: "Through its large and
important health program, Ha-
dassah has been able to provide
one of the foundation stones of
nation-building. It has helped to
bring to an old land the social
approach of the western world
and the scientific miracles of our
era.
"What we have done thus far
has only been in preparation for
the future which Palestine faces.
At a time of the direct tragedy
for our people, Palestine holds
out a hope and a comfort for the
homeless. It stands as a har-
binger of that bright new world
which we all pray may arise from
the ashes of the old. We believe
that the just demands of the
Jewish people for an opportunity
to rebuild their land and estab-
lish there a Jewish Commonwealth
will be granted.
"American Jewish women
through Hadassah, will be given
the privilege of strengthening
the foundations that have already
been built and of helping to
make of this reconstituted Jew-
ish Land, a home and center
where the highest Jewish ideals
and aspirations may be realized."
