the JDC has united all sections
of the American Jewish com-
munity in the mighty tssk of
helping.
In the 33 years of its exist-
ence it has provided more than
$300,000,000 worth of supplies
and services to our distressed
brethren abroad through peri-
ods of disaster, hopelessness,
pogroms, war and famine.
For Jews everywhere, 1948 is
the turning point year. The UN
partition decision has cressed a
Jewish State and opened the
doors of Palestine.
JDC will have increased re-
sponsibilities in preparing those
who will go to Palestine for
their new life there.
After 33 years of tireless serv-
ice, American Jews through
their agency, the JDC, will meet
with confidence the challenge of
1948.
