National Eme

in Palestine

For seven wejs, the Jews of Palestine have been under fire. They have withstood the onslaughts of Mufti-inspired Arabgangs

and other reactionary forces seeking to flout the decision of the United Nations to establish the Jewish State. These have been weeks of

heroism, but also of heavy tolls in human life and property.

The watchword of Palestine Jewry—led by the pioneer-workers organized in the HISTADRUT—is to stand firm, fight back
the
enemy, continue the job of colonization, receive new immigrants, build the democratic Jewish State.

HISTADRUT has mobilized its full force of 180,000 worker-pioneers to meet the National Emergency. Besides providing
over 70
per cent of the Haganah manpower, HISTADRUT is the chief producer of food, the carrier of
supplies to beleaguered Jerusalem and the Negev
outposts:Peaceful men and women workers of the collective settlements
have left their daily tasks to take positions along the lifeline of the
Jewish State.

HISTADRUT

CALLS FOR YOUR HELP!

The National Committee for Labor Palestine answered this call at
a National Emergency "Roll Call" Conference last Sunday and

Transmitted $1,275,000

To the HISTADRUT IN PALESTINE on account of the $7,500,000 National Palestine
Histadrut Campaign. The present emergency did not allow us to wait for the full amount.

An Advance of $100,000

Mate in behalf of the Jewish Community of Detroit against pledges to come from the $250,000 Detroit Palestine
Histadrut (Gewerkshaffen) Campaign is included in the $1,215,000 Emergency Fund cabled to Palestine.

The $250,000 Detroit Histadrut Cimpaign Is Now In Progress

DOLLARS, NOT WORDS!

ACTION, NOT PROMISES!
NOW, NOT TOMORROW!
The battle for freedom and democracy must be won—do your share!
