Vote on National Budgeting
At Federations Assembly

Distinguished Visitor

Equitable Decisions
It woUld function very much

in the way that the well-organ-
ized federation budget committees
function: as an "impartial and
objective group concerned prim-
arily with reaching equitable
decisions which would be help-
ful to fund raising and to local
budgetary procedures."
When the lifting of OPT travel
restrictions made it possible to"
plan an Assembly, it was decided
to . utilize the procedure which
had been agreed upon by previous
Assemblies and by the 1942 oP-
position group. The delegates to
the 1946 General Assembly will

be asked to vote on the following
question:

"Do the delegates to the As-
sembly wish to have a National
Advisory Budg- eting Service, as
defined, established for the ben-
efit of those member agencies
that desire such a- service?"

In the meantime a national
committee to oppose the budget-
ing plan was formed under the
chairmanship of Ezra Shapiro of
Cleveland. The Rabbinical As-
sembly and the Milwaukee Jew-
ish Welfare Federation have gone
on record opposing the budget-
ing plan.

Definition of Plan

The definition for the proposed
plan stated that the "national and
overseas agencies would . . . as
heretofore,. determine what their
budgets should be." The propoSed
national advisory budgetary com-
mittee "would then review the
budgets and, after objective and
thorough study, would attempt,
together with the national and
overseas agencies, to -arrive . at
joint decisions on the amount of
funds required to carry out the
specific programs." Where joint
decisions could not be reached
"the committee would advise the
welfare funds as to the part of
the agenty's budget and program
of work which had been agreed
upon and would present both
sides of the major items of dif-
ference."
The committee would suggest
only national minimum needs of
each national a. n d overseas
agency. These national goals
would be "recommended—in an
advisory way—to . the welfare.
funds."

Jewish Palestine and a leading

Funds Council to Act on Proposal; Oppositions
Enlists Aid of Two Groups

NEW YORK—One of the most
important decisions facing the
delegates to the first Post war
General Assembly of the Council
of Jewish Federations and Wel-
fare Funds, which will be held
early in 1946 in a city yet to be
selected, will be whether, as rec-
ommended by a considerable
board majority, they want to est-
ablish a national advisory budget-
ing service to be made available
to the member agencies that wish
to use such a service. •
Twice approved by referendum
—by the member agencies of the
Council in 1941 and by the hoard
of directors in 1945—the adoption
of national advisory budgeting
would put into operation a na-
tional method of reviewing the
financial requirerrients of nation-
al and overseas_ agencies'. By defi-
nition this is to be done by "a
committee acceptable both to the
member agencies of the Council
and to the national and overseas
organizations:"
