Time Runs Out!
What the United Jewish Appeal Must Do in 1951
A Statement By
Edward M. M. Warburg, General Chairman, United Jewish Appeal
FOR TUE "PEOPLE
of America—for people
everywhere—the year 1951 is not just another
year. It is a time for getting jobs done that are
vital to advancing the free way of life. The
emergency that confronts us, confronts free
men everywhere.
Today—as the world situation calls for a speed-up
in the timetable of rescue, as hundreds of thousands
plead for freedom and a brighter future for their
children—the United Jewish Appeal urges your sup-
port for its campaign now, to meet human needs
totaling $203,684,000.
What must be done
Before time runs out—before opportunities for
rescue vanish—the United Jewish Appeal must:
Save 200,000 Jews from danger zones in Eastern
Europe and Arab lands by bringing them to Israel.
help Israel transform herself from a beachhead
to a stronghold of democracy, by:
building 120 new agricultural settlements,
expanding 235 already established settlements,
constructing housing for 40,000 in rural areas,
providing for 50,000 newcomers in reception
centers,
caring for 15,000 children and more than 5,000
aged and handicapped new arrivals.
Supply 400,000 distressed Jews in Europe and
Arab countries (90,000 of them children) with food,
medical help and rehabilitation aid.
To delay a single part of this program is to increase
the danger to human lives.
At this moment, more than 70,000 Jews are wait-
ing to leave Iraq. They have had to give up their
homes and their citizenship. Thousands of them
sleep in city streets as they wait for rescue planes
to fly them to a land where they are wanted and
welcome—Israel.
In another Near East land, other thousands who
fled persecution wait for help in a Jewish cemetery,
where they have received temporary haven. At
night they rest their heads on the tombstones of
their fathers—and pray for the planes that must be
sent.
In Eastern Europe, 90,000 wait-50,000 in
Rumania alone.
Tens of thousands more wait in Tunisia, Tripoli-
tania and elsewhere.
They wait—in the knowledge that the exit doors
may slain shut at any -time.
UJA alone can bring them to freedom
The people of Israel are determined to share their
freedom with all who plead to come. They have
opened their gates and are keeping them open at
enormous sacrifice, by lowering their standard of
living to the minimum. They offer hope and haven
to hundreds of thousands—but the rest depends
on us.
Resettle in this country and in other western
Only we—through the United Jewish Appeal
—can help the homeless reach new homes.
democracies a total of 25,000 displaced Jews from
Europe before emigration doors are closed.
Only our aid and our generosity—ex-
pressed through the United Jewish Appeal—
can start them on the pathway to a new life.
Only our help—given through the United
Jewish Appeal—can sustain those who wait for
deliverance.
Past achievements point the way
Today, we stand at the half-way point in a tre-
mendous human enterprise. Since the end of World
War II, the United Jewish Appeal has fed and cared
for more than 1,000,000 distressed human beings. It
has brought more than 500,000 immigrants to free-
dom in Israel, and helped another 100,000 reach the
United States. It has helped to build a new life in a
new country, reclaiming land, founding settlements,
building homes.
All who have made possible the work of the United
Jewish Appeal can be proud of its great achieve-
ments. They have contributed greatly to freedom
and democracy.
But 1951 is not the year to be content with past
accomplishments, however notable.
For every human being we have brought to free-
dom, another waits in bondage. For every one we
have freed from want, another still goes hungry.
For every one we have helped to strike new roots,
another is still homeless.
This is the challenge we face in 1951. We
can meet it—today, now—through the United
Jewish Appeal. Today—now—you are urged
to help the United Jewish Appeal meet crucial
needs which total $203,684,000. To save lives—
to strengthen the free people of Israel—to aid
democracy everywhere—give more than you
have ever given before.
