reports on future plans of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee at the
organization's 30th annual meeting, held at Hotel Commodore, New York. Announce-
ment was made at this meeting of the need for $46,570,000 for relief and rescue of
European Jews in 1945.
LEON MEISS, provisional chairman of Central Consistoire of France (right) and
CAPT. GUY de ROTHSCHILD, member of the staff of Gen. Pierre Koenig, Military
Governor of Paris, thank PAUL BAERWALD (left), chairman of the Joint Distribu-
tion Committee, for supplying the funds which made it .possible to maintain thouSands
of French Jews and keep them hidden from the Nazis.

Tell Plight of French Jewry:

The Joint Distribution Committee, one of the three agencies of the United Jewish
Appeal, receives its support in Detroit from the Allied Jewish Campaign of the Jewish
Welfare Federation, through the War Chest.

T

HE Senate Foreign Bela-
tions Committee is over-
whelmingly, if not unanimously,
sympathetic toward vigorously
maintaining the American posi-
tion toward Palestine which was
first asserted in the Resolutions
of 1922. The long and scrupu-
lous consideration which it gave
to the Wagner-Taft Resolution,
and suggested substitutes there-
for, is a clear indication of its
general feeling toward action in
behalf Of Jewish immigration
and colonization in Palestine,
and the evolution there of a free
and democratic commonwealth.
It was only the earnest rec-
ommendation of the State De-
partment against any action at
this highly critical moment in
international relations, lest it be
of disadvantage to the Palestine
'movement as well as to the war
effort, which led the Committee
to postpone action for the bal-
ance of this Congressional. ses-
§ion. To be truly helpful, such
etetion must represent substan-
,t
unanimity in the ,Govern-
ms6nt.. Efforts. will continue un-
til we find the means to this
'deeply desirable end at the earli-
est practicable date.
