In his introductory remarks, Mr. Field said that a sum of $5,000 already has been sub- scribed in cash towards the 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.

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." •• CAPTAIN GREISMAN in the crucial battle of the Ne- gev, will be in Detroit this week to address meetings of three groups.
