One of the most consistent and most famous exponents of
the Zionist cause will address an open meeting Sunday eve-
ning, June 15, at Temple Beth El, when Dr. James G. Mc-
Donald speaks under the auspices of the Labor Department
of the Jewish National Fund.
The meeting will be the opening rally of a $15,000 drive
for the JNF, according to Alex •
Nichamin, Labor Department
chairman, but there will be no
charge for admission.
The public is invited to attend.
The Guest Speaker
Dr. McDonald arrived in the
United States May 23, after re-
visiting Palestine and England.
A member of the Anglo-Ameri-
can Inquiry Committee on Pales-
tine, he has long been recog-
nized as a friend of Zionism .
During his recent Palestine
visit, Dr. McDonald participated
in the ground-breaking cere-
mony for the first building of
the new Palestine Medical School
of the Hebrew University and
Hadassah. In England he
launched the Joint Palestine
Appeal, and in Europe toured
the DP camps.
Of the latter, Dr. McDonald
reports that the Jewish DPs are
depressed, feeling that the world
has let them down. Most of them
look to the UN for help in en-
tering Palestine, he said.
While in England, Dr. McDon-
ald engaged in a verbal duel on
Palestine with American-born,
former MP Lady Astor, who
charged him with being anti-
British for supporting the Zion-
ists. Lady Astor called the Pales-
tinian Jews "gangsters" who are
injuring the cause of all Jews,
but Dr. McDonald praised the
modern developments brought to
Palestige -by the Jewish settlers.
Guest Soloist
In addition to Dr. McDonald's
speech, the JNF meeting with
feature a musical program w ith
Cantor Joseph Posner of New
York, guest soloist, offering a
group of Palestinian and Yiddish
folk songs.
The Labor Department also an-
nounces that arrangements for
the establishment of Nachlath
Pinski in Palestine will be re-
vealed at this meeting. The settle-
ment is being founded by the JNF
in honor of the 75th birthday of
David Pinski, noted Yiddish poet
and playwright.

JOSEPH POSNER
The pivotal point in the constructive program
which the 22nd World Zionist Congress approved
at its historic sessions in Basle, Switzerland, is em-
bodied in a far-reaching settlement blueprint for
the future. The plan envisions the establishment,
within the next two years, of 85 additional agri-
cultural settlements on nationally owned soil in all
parts of Eretz Israel. To provide the necessary
land tracts, the Congress authorized the Jewish
National Fund to raise and invest $40,000,000 in the
acquisition of land in Palestine during 1947.
by the Labor Department of the
Jewish National Fund this Sun-
day evening at Temple Beth El,
began his tour to musical renown
as a member of the youth choir
which appeared with the late
Cantor Rosenblatt.
As cantor and musical director
of Temple Emanuel in Passaic,
N. J., he is well-versed in Jewish
liturgical music. In addition, he
is known on the concert stage
for his wide repertoire, including
arias from Bach, Verdi, Brahms,
Haydn, Mendelssohn, and Handel.
Although he claims no operatic
aspirations, Posner has sung the
leading roles in Traviata, Secret
of Susanne, Faust, Rigoletto, and
other favorites of the operatic
stage. He also has participated in
the performance of Ernest Bloch's
"Israel Symphony," and Julius
Chajes' "142nd Psalm."
The accompanying chart gives a graphic `sump; ;
mary of the ceaseless struggle and great achieve=
ment of the Jewish National Fund since its estab- •
lishment 45 years ago. The Keren Keyemeth, ax
the instrumenetlity of the Zionist movement for
reclamation of Palestine's soil as the property of
the Jewish people, has recently entered on the
forty-fifth year of its epoch-making work. The
JNF's past achievements are the firm foundation
for the struggle of the present and the blueprinted
advance of the near future.
