to hold, if possible, a parade, of
at least one thousand cars, with
placards, demanding favorable
action on the part of the United
Nations, in order to bring about
a final solution of the Jewish
problem.
3. In order to make the pa-
rade possible, we will ask that
every Jewish business place, be
it shop, factory or office, to close
for a three-hour period, and
notify the community, that we
are closing our' stores and of-
fices, beeatite the world has
cloSed its ears' to the' cries of

cause' it 'hag " closed' its" eyes 'to

It is only thrOugh such' action
that the world may become
aware of ' the meaning ' of all
this, and will -become aware of
our united determination, and
Might even act.
Will you join forces with us?
Will you be 'there'when you are
called upon?
I ptgy to God that this time
not a single one'of us will shirk
his duty!
