Dear Jim,
Any constructive effort of rehabilitation of reorganization, whether from an industrial standpoint or dealing with human equations, cannot be successfully accomplished without an orderly program extending over a period of years.
The primary steps that were taken by the various Jewish agencies abroad to alleviate the suffering resulting from the aftermath of the War, as well as the maladjustment of millions of individuals without basic industrial or agricultural training, can only be considered fundamental. Those receiving only primary help from this country are still a vital problem to those who, being in a more fortunate position, should feel it a privilege to solve these difficulties permanently.
It is my firm conviction that the successful rehabilitation of the Jews in Eastern and Central Europe is dependent on a continuous program that will eventually develop industrial, agricultural and professional classes that will not only be self-supporting but will simultaneously, with this new economic background, gain the respect and encouragement of their respective communities.
I am sure that those of us who have had every advantage through citizenry and education will do all we can to give equal opportunities to those who, through no fault of theirs, have not been as fortunate in being offered the same opportunities.
Sincerely,
(signed) Howard S. Cullman.
