Despite the depression, Dr. David Lvovitch, member of the Executive of the O.R.T. World Federation, who has been conducting a campaign in America for funds on behalf of the Jewish reconstruction work of the O.R.T. in Eastern Europe, said, when leaving on board the “Olympic” on his return to Europe, friends of the O.R.T. have made every effort to help the O.R.T. Federation in its present difficult financial position. Because of the present conditions in the United States, Dr. Lvovitch went on, expressing satisfaction with the results of his mission, I doubly appreciate the understanding and sympathy which the American O.R.T. the Joint Distribution Committee and Chicago friends of the O.R.T. have extended to us.
