The two million dollar sum was
first proposed by the UJA delega-
tion at a meeting of the Federa-
tion Board on Tuesday afternoon
and it was there decided that the
proposal must be presented to the
larger meeting that night. It was
at this larger meeting that the
proposal and the quota were ac-
cepted with acclamation.
Ask Government
To Take Action
On Arab Boycott
TEL AVIV (JTA) — A -demand
that the Palestine Government in-
form the Jewish community of
what steps are being taken to
protect the Jewish economic struc-
ture from the Arab League's boy-
cott, was voiced by Dr. Emil
Shmorak, head of the Economic
Department of the Jewish Agency,
at a press conference here.
Dr. Shmorak also demanded ab-
olition of all war-time import and
export restrictions, and called for
Government attempts to bring liv-
ing costs down to the level exist-
ing "in Anglo-Saxon countries"
through the free importation of
foodstuffs and machinery for in-
dustry and building activities.
A protest delegation calling on
High Commissioner Sir Alan Cun-
ningham was cordially received.
The UJA delegation was com-
posed of names that are familiar
to Jews throughout the world. In-
cluded in It were Henry Montor,
executive vice chairman of the
UJA; Rudolph G. Sonneborn, a
leader in UJA who, in private life,
is one of the larger independent
oil dealers of this country; George
Alpert, nationally known attorney
of Boston; George Backer, former
publisher of the New York Post,
who is also one of the chiefs of
the psychological division of the
OM just back from three years
overseas work and who is also
the president of the Jewish Tele-
graphic Agency and president of
the Ort, and Chaplain Herschel
Schacter, a rabbi, who was the

Throughout the evening, stress
was laid on the need for com-
plete community cooperation on
all fronts if the fund raising is
to be successful. It was pointed
out that, while the sum is far in
excess of any ever asked before,
the need is proportionately great-
er.
Plans are being laid for a com-
plete organization by trades, pro-
fessions and businesses of the
campaign workers.
Everyone at the meeting seemed
certain that the necessary money
will be forthcoming and the work-
ers were ready to pledge them-
