"I cannot possibly exaggerate

aid. "It is the one really de-
sive test of American Jewry's
evotion to the cause of Israel

Reference to the passing of
Dr. Stephen S. Wise, made in
his opening remarks by Mr.
Kaufmann, spontaneously
brought the vast audience to
its feet as a mark of tribute
to the departed leader. Ref-
erence to Dr. Wise also was
made by Dr. Weizmann.
The brief greetings were fol-
lowed by an address by Henry
Morgenthau, Jr., who described
the courage and calmness of Dr.
and Mrs. Weizmann during an
air raid at Rehoboth, Israel, near
their home where he was a
guest last year. He reviewed the
needs in Israel and the objec= -
tives of the $250,000,000 cam-
paign for. the United Jewish
Appeal, of which he is national
chairman, and declared:
"The job of absorbing 250,000
men, women and children, most
of whom have nothing more in
the world than the clothes on
their back, is a tremendous one.
The new immigrants need
homes. They need food. They
need jobs. They need the chance
to make a fresh start. And we,
the Jews of America, joined to-

the partners in Israel's pride,
let them share in its travails
which it has endured not for
Israel itself, but for the life and
dignity of our people."
Industrial and agricultural de-
velopment on a large scale will
be required to provide a "digni-
fied standard of life" for the
greatly increased population of
Israel, Dr. Weizmann said. In
this connection, he pointed to
the importance of the Negev
(southern desert of Israel) in
the expansion of economic and
settlement opportunities. He
reported that the Weizmann In-
stitute was engaged in explor-
ing the possibilities for large-
scale settlement in the Negev
and that its first findings had
been encouraging.
The brilliant event opened
with brief greetings by Edmund
I. Kaufmann of Washington,
president of the board of direc-
tors of the American Committee
for the Weizmann Institute;
Dewey Stone of Boston, chair-
man of the board, and Abraham
Feinberg of New York, chairman
of the New York committee.

gether under the aegis of the
United Jewish Appeal, must as-
sume the responsibility for do-
ing this job. We have to do it
because the future of the State
of Israel depends on it. At this
moment, Israel faces a crucial
testing period. The great influx
of homeless Jews must not be
turned into a tragic emergency
for the Jewish state. It will be
tragic unless we meet the his-
toric opportunity with the kind
of action that this moment de-
mands."
The strictly Kosher dinner was
catered by Patrician. Men and
women representing all walks of
life in American and world
Jewry, Orthodox, Conservative
and Reform, attended the gath-
ering. The flags of all nations
were on display. The orchestra-
tion for the playing of Hatikvah
by the NBC Symphony Orches-
tra was arranged by Kurt Weill.
The program was .held in the
main ballroom of the Waldorf
Astoria and the receptions and
dinners were served in five ad-
joining ballrooms.
