GM Symphony to Play
Listt's Music Sunday
weeks, the American Jewish
Joint Distribution Committee
was informed in a cable from
Dr. Joseph Schwartz, European
chairman of the organization,
who returned to Lisbon from a
relief mission in the Middle
East, immediately following the
Italian surrender, in order to
map emergency relief and re-
habilitation for the Jewish• Pop-
ulation of the Italian peninsula.
The Joint Distribution Corn-
mittee is at present allocating
$102,500 each month for assist-
ance to refugees in Switzerland,
of whom there were 12,000 be-
fore the battle on the Italian
peninsula began. This large
sum, Dr. Schwartz's cable indi-
cated, will shortly need to be
substantially increased again as
Nazi pressures tighten upon
both Italy and France and impel
the desperate Jewish popula-
tions of these countries to seek
asylum in neutral countries. The
Joint Distribution Committee's
present appropriations for its
work in Switzerland, Spain and
Portugal alone amount to $2,-
500,000 for this year. These
funds are raised in the United
States through the United Jew-
ish Appeal for Refugees, Over-
seas Needs and Palestine.
Funds for the United Jewish
Appeal are raised in Detroit by
the Allied Jewish Campaign
through the War Chest.

exercise the right of self-
defense."
In a resolution unanimously
adopted at a special session of
the Assembly, which was held in
the Jewish Agency Assembly
Hall Monday morning to take
action on the results of the arms
trial, the Assephat Hanivcharim
asserted that although "violence
is not a method through which
national regeneration can be se-
cured," the Yishuv, "if need be
. . . is prepared to defend itself
against those conspiring to bar
the way for its future and exist-
ence."
Remain Steadfast
Pointing out that the "tradu-
cers" desire to "undermine world
faith in Jewry as wartime allies
. . . and to defeat among the
Jews their belief in the consci-
ence of the democratic nations,"
the resolution called upon the
Yishuv to overcome these "evil
designs" by remaining steadfast
"against the political regime
which is trying to bar the way
to the upbuilding of our land and
the redemption of the Jewish peo-
ple within it."
Enlarging upon these points,
David ben Gurion, Chairman of
the Jewish Agency Executive,
the sole speaker at the extraor-
dinary session, said that the in-
citement against the Yishuv
originated in an attempt to "bol- .
ster up the tottering moral foun-
dations of the White Paper."
For two hours, Mr. Ben Gurion
held the interest of the large
gatherings which included all
members of the Assephat Haniv-
charim, leaders of all community
councils, municipalities, the Chief
Rabbinate and hundreds of rep-
resentatives from all parts of
Palestine.
The session was opened by
Isaac ben Zvi, chairman of the
Vaad Leumi, who stated that the
matter before the meeting af-
fected "the very foundations of
the future of the Yishuv."

ducted in New Zealand by Dr.
Michael Traub reached the un-
precedented sum of £20,000, it

was felt that this man was a par-
ticularly remarkable achievement
