A contribution of $1,000 has also been made by George MacDonald, Papal Marquis, who expressed his sympathy with the rebuilding of the Jewish National Home in Palestine, to which homeless Jews from various lands may come for security and freedom. Other contributions by Christians include $500 from George Hill, president of the American Tobacco Company; $250 from John F. Curry and $250 from James J. Hines.
