Sonneborn Commends U. S.

Jewry on Devotion to Israel

Direct JTA Teletype Wire to
The Jewish News

JERUSALEM — A tribute to
American Jews and their devo-
tion to the cause of Israel was
paid Tuesday by Rudolph Son-
neborn, national co-chairman of
the United Jewish Appeal,
speaking in the general debate
of the 23rd World Zionist Con-
gress.
Mr. Sonneborn praised the
role of the welfare funds which
he said had raised $600,000,000
for the UJA from 1941 to 1950
or 93 per cent of all UJA funds.
"They have been faithful
partners in providing means for
the development of the state
and the ingathering of our
brethren," he told the Congress,
adding that the Zionists had
only themselves to blame if they
did not dominate the _ welfare
funds.
He said that this was because
min our preoccupation with other
matters we have not given time
or energy nor taken our rightful
place in the development of
these funds."
Mr. Sonneborn added that ex-
perience on such issues as a
central Israeli fund and nation-
al budgeting had shown that
whatever "our occasional differ-
ences with the leadership of the
welfare funds, whenever we pre-
sented the Zionist viewpoint we
have been reassured of over-
whelming support for our side"
by the community leaders.

Mr. Sonneborn, who also is
president of the United Pales-
tine Appeal, warned the Con-
gress against too hasty discon-
tinuing of the importance of
traditional Zionist f und s. He
warmly praised the efforts of the
UJA and Edward M. M. War-
burg, its general chairman, and
Dr. Joseph J. Schwartz, its exec-
utive vice-chairman.
In a comment on the Congress
proceedings to date, Mr. Sonne-
born urged the assembly "to
recognize fully the vital import-
ance of raising funds for Israel
and to devote more time to dis-
cussing connected problems." He
said the eyes of those funds for
Israel were on Jerusalem from
where they expected words of
encouragement and leadership.
He sharply criticized "some
American Zionist officials here
who have taken Israel's leaders
to task. This criticism," he as-
serted, "is merely an effort to
divert attention from their own
deficiencies."
Dr. Joseph Tannenbaum,
American General Zionist, told
the Congress that "You Don't
know America. It is too big for
you to understand. You have
fantastic ideas about the United
States."
"We demand respect for the
Zionist movement," he declared.
"Without the Zionist Organiza-
tion of America Israel will slit-
ter."
