Drive for Refugees
Proclaimed by UJA

paign for $1,000,000 for matzoth
and other Passover food for
Jewish refugees M the Soviet
territories, and in Switzerland,
Spain, Portugal, Britain and
other countries, was launched by
the. Council of Organizations of
the United - Jewish Appeal, at a
conference here.
Over a million Jews are in
need of food shipments, Dr.
Joseph Schwartz, European chair-
man of the Joint Distribution
Committee, declared in a cable
from Paris. In a mesage read to
the conference Ira Hirschmann,
former Istanbul envoy of the
War Refugee Board,, warned
against barring the doors of Pal-
estine by refusing transit through
Turkey to Jews seeking to emi-
grate from the Balkan countries.
Dr. Israel Goldstein, president
of the Zionist Organization of
America, told the conference
that "anti-Semitism has become

tries does • not signify security

their frontiers. Palestine, he
said, Was the only solution.
