The Joint Distribution Committee must go on until European Jewry is set squarely on its feet. The United Jewish Campaign must continue to appeal to the Jews of America on behalf of the long suffering Jews across the seas. The Jews of America must be made to realize more thoroughly than they have in the past shown by their splendid contributions, that they alone can save the Jews of Europe, long suffering victims of war, pogroms, civil wars and economic upheavals.

This is the concensus of opinion of over 96 per cent of the letters so far received at the headquarters of the United Jewish Campaign, New York City, in response to the open letter sent by David A. Brown, national chairman, to 100,000 leaders, workers and contributors of the United Jewish Campaign, putting to them the question of the continuance of American Jewry’s work for European Jewry after the end of this year, it was announced by Mr. Brown yesterday.
