Upon Capt. Waren's return to the U.S. in January 1946, he pre- pared to shed his many medals and resume his private life. But when rumors began to reach him of the condition of the Jewish displaced people in Europe, and the relationship of this problem to Palestine, he decided to ac- company his sister. Helen Waren, to Europe and Palestine and to assert for himself what the prob- lems were and to offer his as- sistance. Palestine had a tremendous ef- fect upon him and he brought back his "Report from Palestine" before many sectarian and non- sectarian groups. Mr. Waren , has resumed his duties at the College of New York City. He has been per- suaded to continue his speaking role at educational and appeal functions describing conditions as they exist in Palestine. Guest soloist will be Emma Schaver, popular lyric soprano. who will appear in a new series of Yiddish, Hebrew and Palestin- ian songs. Mrs. Schaver spent six months in the displaced persons camps bringing cheer to the sur- vivors in Europe. A new movie, "The Road To Freedom," also will be shown. Mrs. M. Michlin is chairman of the Moatzath Hapoaloth Fund and with the aid of the eight clubs, has pledged a quota of $75,- 000 for this year.

"A self-respecting people makes things happen, causes them to be activating factors in the construc- tion of their land," Dr. Arzt stated. He pointed out that Hista- drut, the Palestine Jewish Feder- ation of ,Labor, has taken 160,000 people with a love for the soil and has caused them to .take the land with a poor economy and to enrich it.
