Jan Masaryk, Foreign Minister of the Czechoslovakian Government-in-Exile, and Quentin Reynolds, American war correspondent, Joined last night in launching the Jewish National Fund’s campaign to raise a half-million dollars to redeem one dunam of land for every Palestine Jew serving with the British forces.

Mr. Masaryk denounced anti-Semitism as “a most cowardly, indecent thing which I despise,” and stressed the need to build up Palestine as a post-war refuge for Jews. Prof. Samson Wright, president of the JNF of Great Britain, extended greetings to the people of America and to American Jews.
