The 70th birthday of Dr. Chaim Weizmann in Nov. 1944 served as an occasion for reviewing the work of this distinguished scien- tist and Zionist leader whose name is indelibly linked with the Balfour Declaration and the up- building of the Jewish National Home in Palestine. In appreciation of his achieve- ments in the field of science and as a tribute to his Zionist leader- ship, his friends have undertaken to present to the President of the FDR 1- Ickes Heartens American Jewry With His New Year Message of Hop Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes, in his Rosh lIashonah message, declares: "Slowly the ethical forces of the world are taking hohi of the gigantic problem of rebuilding Europe. In the year now drawing to a close, the great enemy of the United Na- tions and of civilization in Europe, was crushed. The physical evidence of its death struggle is found in the rubble of its cities. The physical reconstruction of the defeated and cowed enemy is a much more complex and difficult one. "The end of the war in Europe has brought an end to horrible devastation, and it has also brought an end to the sadistic torture of Jews and others. To that extent, the plight of Jewry in Germany and occupied countries has improved. Further damage has been stopped and an opportunity is pres- ent for rehabilitation to set in. I hope that the year 5706 will bring great strides of progress in this rebuilding. "To my fellow citizens of the Jewish faith in the United States, I extend greetings on the advent of the New Year. I express the hope that in our own land we will continue with strength and courage on the true path of democratic action, and that significant progress will be made in re-establishing the dispersed peoples of Europe."
