Brown Replies to Minneapolis “jewish World” Charges

A reply to the change of the St. Paul and Minneapolis “American Jewish World” against David A. Brown. in connection with the abandonment of plans for a joint campaign of the United Palestine Appeal and the United Jewish Campaign in Minneapolis was made by Mr. Brown in a telegram to the “Jewish World.” Mr. Brown’s wire reads:

“The caption of your article in the issue of the 23rd is grossly misleading and does the cause which I am representing great harm. I have not refused sanction for the joint drive, but I have laid down conditions upon which the United Jewish Campaign will participate in the Joint Drive.

“I would call your attention to the Minnesota State conference of February 21. which passed resolutions for the State of Minnesota of which Minneapolis is a part. On the basis of this State Conference representing all the Jewish groups Minneapolis is obligated to conduct a three year campaign.

“I resent and regret the attack on me personally. My only objective during the months that I have given of myself in this cause has been to secure the largest amount of money possible from the Jews in this country in the shortest possible time. Because of the position I occupy there is resting upon my shoulders a sacred obligation in stimulate the Jews in this country, which includes your city, into action.

“Up to the present time we have not received any advance money from Minneapolis although most of the larger cities in the United States have already sent in from ten to fifty per cent of their road first year’s subscription.

“There is an other cause of any type ### kind that should take precedence over our campaign because of the fact that there are involved the Eves of little children, old man and women waiting ### I have implicit confidence in Minneapolis Jewry and that it will ###ry their will share of the burden I believe it your duty as a Jewish newspaper to make a plea for help in our cause rather than to attack me individually.”
