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. r•• ■ • In Detroit Contribute to the Allied Jewish Campaign U nited Jewish Appeal, on behalf of Joint Distribution Committee , United Palestine Appeal • United Service for Nev Ansericans : a
