LISTENING

(Continued from Page 6)

Judge Rifkind said this week,
and urged that the Palestine In-
quiry Commission should issue
an interim report recommending
the immediate admittance into
Palestine of 100,000 Jews.
Predicting that the year 1946
"will most certainly be by far the
most prosperous peacetime year"
in the history of the United
States, Robert R. Nathan, former
deputy director for War Man-
power and Reconversion, de-
clared that it is inconceivable
that the American people "will
smugly and complacently a cept
this abundant prosperity without
sharing some of its benefits with
those who are in much less for-
tunate circumstances."
The noted economist, who last
year spent two and a half months
in Palestine conducting a survey
of the economic potentialities of
that country, asserted that the
survey had concluded that in the
next decade Palestine could ab-
sorb from approximately 600,000
to over 1,100,000 Jewish immi-
grants. The economic develop-
ment of Palestine to date has
been "truly phenomenal," he
said.

c

Named Gift Chairman

The conference officially was
opened by Edmund I. Kaufmann,
of Washington, who was named
national chairman for Initial
Gifts. In his opening remarks he
said:
"All of us are deeply aware
of the solemnity and determina-
tion with which the Jews of
America have pledged them-
selves to raise the sum of $100,-
000,000 for the United Jewish
Appeal cognizant of the tremend-
ous needs of the agencies which
compose the UJA, the JDC, the
UPA and the NRS. -
"The action we take here today
will sound the keynote for the
campaign through the length and
breadth of the land."
William Rosenwald stated that
the refugee assistance and ad-
justment program of the NRS
must be greatly expanded in 1946
in line with President Truman's
recent directive facilitating the
- admission to this country under
existing immigration quotas of
war refugees and orphans from
Europe. Mr. Rosenwald lauded
the NRS for its "smooth integra-
tion" of approximately 250,000
refugees since the rise of Hitler-
ism into the American cornmun-
ity..
Ready to Take Lead
The U. S. graphically has dem-
onstrated that it is ready to take
the lead among the nations of the
world in offering refuge to the
homeless and the oppressed, he
said. The NRS, Mr. Rosenwald
declared, has done much to pro-
mote a liberal immigration policy
in this country by its effective
and systematic adjustment of
newcomers to this country into
the American stream of life.
Palestine will play the central
role in the "entire drama of our
homeless people of devastated
Europe," Charles J. Rosenbloom,
of Pittsburgh, national chairman
of the UJA, stressed in outlining
the needs of the United Palestine
Appeal in 1946.
Declaring that "we live in an
important moment of history,"
Paul Baerwald, honorary chair-
man of the UJA, said that ''your
labor, your generosity and your
vision are the tools with which
we hope to reconstruct the shat-
tered structure of European
Jewry."

priated $13,750,000 for the first
quarter of this year. Describing
the crisis facing the Jewish sur-
vivors in Europe, Mr. Baerwald
stated that "the efforts we are
engaged in abroad, and the pres-
ent counterpart of these efforts
here at home are one of the most
important things in Jewish life
today, if not the most important
thing.
Rabbi Jonah B. Wise, of New
York, national chairman of the
UJA, declared that the Jews of
the U. S. were confronted with
the greatest challenge in their
history and that only through an
unprecedented effort in behalf
of the $100,000,000 United Jewish
Appeal could they assure the
survival of the remnants of
European Jewry. He declared
that Europe, Palestine and the
U. S. were the "three theaters in
the battle for Jewish survival
which is now in its most critical
stage."

They were kissed by young and

to make a speech in his best

As they finally began leaving,
one of the guys asked if there
