With a quota of $125,000 as its goal, the United Palestine Appeal will be launched here on October 14. Dr. I. M. Rubinow, executive director of the U. P. A., will be the principal speaker at the opening rally. The campaign is headed by George J. Klein as chairman and S. J. Bialosky, David S. Kohn and Mrs. Sigmund Herzog as vice-chairmen. The drive will last ten days and on Oct. 24, the drive will close with a banquet at which Dr. Chaim Weizmann, president of the World Zionist Organization, will be the principal speaker.
In a message issued on the occasion of the opening of the Cleveland drive, W. R. Hopkuts. Cleveland City Manager. urged the Jews of the community to particpate in the United Palestine Appeal drive, and said:
“Among all the amazing and fascinating movements of our time, none is more staking or appening than the movement to make Palestine once more a worthy expression of the genius of the Jewish people.
“It is not strange that the mere possibility of such a movement stirred the imagination and commanded the cooperation of scholars and statesmen like Lord Balfour and Lloyd George. No one familiar with the history of religion and civilization can be indifferent to it.
“But to every Jew the Palestine appeal should come as an opportunity to prove himself worthy of his inheritance and to have a full share in the work of establishing for all the world new and visible proof of the great quality of a great people.”
“And get it.” was chosen as the slogan of the drive.
