maximum amount of $25,000
needed for the purchase of the
building and its alteration.

when he first came to Detroit,
a building was purchased on
High St. to house Zionist ac-
tivities. Reminiscing, he point-
ed out that Zionism was un-
popfilar at that time. "In a
sense," he said, "it is popular
today. But we need intensive
work, not philanthropy. We
need intensive work to deal
with the higher aspects of our
movement.' I hope the new
center will provide incentive
for such efforts."

A. C. Lappin, president of the
Detroit Zionist Organization, re-
viewed the history of efforts to
build a Zionist home and de-
clared that its reality will aid
all branches of the movement.

members inviting them to join
in the effort to provide the
necessary funds for the build-
ing—contributions to be given
supplementary to gifts to the
Allied Jewish Campaign, with-
out affecting normal aid to
Israel.

Mr. Field stated that ,David

Dingell Makes Plea to Foreign
Affairs Committee to Aid Israel

Appearing before the Foreign
Affairs Committee of the House
of Representatives last week,
Congressman_ John D. Dingell
made a strong appeal for sup-
port of his $500,000,000 Aid to
Israel Bill, H. R. Resolution 57.
In the course of his remarks,
Congressman Dingell stated:
"I assume that a bill of this
importance will have to run the
gauntlet of thorough hearings,
but to me it is evident that the
objective of the billy is very
worthy and desirable. It is self-
explanatory and you can un-
derstand the substance of it is
to proVide $500,000,000 for the
new State of Israel so that it
might participate on the same
basis as other countries which
have been the beneficiaries of
the Economic Cooperation Ad-
ministration and of the Mar-
.- a shall Plan.
"I stress the need for this on
the basis of welding the friend-
ship of the United States and
the New Republic of Israel, the
only genuinely democratic na-
tion in the Dear East, and as I
like to think of it, the keystone
to the arch of our policy in that-
Near East area.
"You are all familiar, of
course, with the fact that Is-
rael has undertaken a most gi-
gantic plan of aid to its own for-
tunate people throughout t h e
entire world. It was a new na-
tion of 600,000 at the time they
`declared their independence and
undertook to take in Jewish
refugees from Poland, Russia,
Germany, China and everywhere
-4k else. Today in Israel there are
• more than twice that number
of people living in this impov-
erished area.
"They have rehabilitated these
people and restored their faith
in themselves and in humanity.
"However, they need our help.
Certainly they are entitled to
assistance I should say more so.
than Germany and we are
spending approximately one bil-
lion dollars per annum on Ger-
many. Why shouldn't we do
some ping for Israel? Indeed, it
may turn out to be a good in-
. xestment, it might prove to be
the beachhead for democracy, in
that area. .
"The Jews thus, far haVe sub-
Sist-ed very largely on their own

•

production and on such assist-
ance as they could get from
their own people, chiefly in the
United States.
"A great number of Jews were
brought in from China.
"I think Israel will be a na-
tion of much value to the Unit-•
ed States and other democratic
countries in preserving the peace
in the Near East. Their'indus-
try and perseverance will not
only make them prosperous but
will serve as an example to their
neighbors.
"For that reason I am very
anxious that they be included
under the Marshal Plan a n d
ECA, so that they may take
root and develop to the fullest
extent and at the earliest date.
"I would like for the Commit-
tee to go into this proposal very
carefully. I am sure if y o u
analyze it from a humanitarian
standpoint and from the stand-
point of America's future you
will see it as I do. To me the
establishment of Israel is not
just the creation of another
state in the family of nations.
To me, it is the fulfillment of
God's promise to His people. It
is the word of the prophet come
true.
"The events we witnessed
prove to me that the Bible is the
word of God. They strengthen
my Christian faith."
