JAMES G. McDONALD

Post of League• of Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees, in
1933. After two years in that posi-
tion he resigned in'1935 with a blast
at Hitler, whom he accused of a
planned policy of race extermina-
tion, and a sharp criticism of the
'democratic nations for failing to
face that fact.-
During World War II, he held,
among other positions, the post of
chairman of President Roosevelt's
committee on political refugees.
In 1944 and 1945, he urged repeat-
edly that Palestine be opened to
Jewish immigration. After Presi-
dent Truman gave de facto recog-
nition to the new State of Israel in
1948, McDonald w a s appointed
the first head of. America's diplo-
matic mission to Israel. Later,
when the United States gave Israel
full, de jure recognition, he be-
came Washington's first ambassa-
dor extraordinary and plenipoten-
tiary to Israel.
Meanwhile, he had served, un-
der an appointment by Truman,
on the Anglo-American Committee
of Inquiry on Palestine. After his
resignation from the Ambassador-
ship, he continued speaking and
writing on behalf of Israel at
every opportunity. In 1951, when
the first Israel Bond campaign was
launched, Dr. McDonald was one
of the most forceful proponents of
that phase of large-scale invest-
ment in Israel. •

and settled in Detroit in 1904.
During his 60-year residence here
he was first a tailor, pursuing the
trade he learned in his native
Austria, and later was engaged in
real estate.
Even during the most trying
days when earning. a living for
himself, his wife and 10 children
was most difficult—in the critical
years in this land—he never failed
strictly to observe the tenets of
Judaism and to sanctify the Sab-
bath.
He was treasurer of Beth Abra-
ham Synagogue in 1906 and since
then aided in the formation of
several smaller synagogues. The
Agree-Synagogue, which began on
Rosedale Court more than 50 years
ago, owed its foundation to him
due to his having assisted in secur-
ing the land for the synagogue
building.
