The more than 700,000 immigrants `brought to Israel since 1948 must be knit into the fabric of a stable, viable, creative society. Thousands upon thousands of additional acres rust be put under cultivation. Agricultural settlements and housing projects must go up everywhere. This effort to make the land more fruitful and its immigrants pro- ductive and self-sustaining represents the most challenging and formi- . dahle task since the start four and a halfyears ago of the dramatic and unprecedented ingathering of exiles; In 1953, the task of prbSiding free funds for these great and urgent programs is the continuing responsibility of the UNITED JEWISH APPEAL. UJA dollars are the lifeblood of Israel's new, dynamic society. They are vital to Israel's healthy growth. In 1953, then, UJA funds must slow with renewed vigor. Warranted and Unwarranted Campaigns In addition to the UNITED JEWISH APPEAL, there are other authorized organizations with established records of constructive work m Israel that can claim public support in the United States. The Jewish Agency for Palestine,"with the support of the Israel Government, and in wsponse to requests from the organized Jewish community in the United States, set up in j949 a COMMITTEE ON CONTROL AND AUTHORIZATION OF CAMPAIGNS. This Committee passes on the validity and general usefulness of all proposed campaigns for institutions and projects in Israel. On occasion, new campaigns for limited purposes have been launched by individuals and organizations. Some of these have put forth claims not always warranted by facts, and have requested support out of proportion to their. importance. Jabotinsky Biography It Four Languages When in Doubt The Committee on Control and Authorization of Campaigns will shortly publish its 1953 list of authorized campaigns. Until such a list is • published, whenever you are in doubt write to the JEWISH AGENCY FOR PALESTINE, CoMmittee on • Control and Authorization of Campaigns, 16 East 66th Street, New York City. However, nothing surpasses the importance of the UNITED JEWISH APPEAL for Israel's future. The country's great potential of material- and moral growth depends on continuous, uninterrupted support of UJA: In 1953 a contribution to the - UNITED JEWISH APPEAL is an investment in Israel's stability and a vote'of confidence in the 1,500,000 .men and women who are building a powerful demo- eratic society in the Middle East.
