The campaign for the Haym Salomon Monument Fund will be opened with a dinner at the Biltmore Hotel, Thursday evening, April 18, at which George Gordon Battle, Senator Nathan Straus, Jr., Congressman Charles A. Mooney, Jonah Goldstein, S. Stanwood Menken, a great gradnson of Haym Salomon, and Benjamin Winter, president of the Federation of Polish Jews in America, which is sponsoring the Haym Salomon monument, will speak. Plans for the campaign will be outlined by Z. Tygel, Director of the Haym Salomon Campaign.

A number of descendants of Salomon, including, besides Mr. Menken, Mrs. Charles Hendricks, G. Osgood Andrews, and Mrs. Florence Dreyfus, will be present. Ralph Pulitzer, and George Gordon Battle, noted lawyer, have endorsed the campaign, Mr. Winter stated, adding that the movement for the erection of the monument had already resulted in recognition being given to the patriotic services of Salomon in some of the history textbooks used in the public schools. “We feel,” said Mr. Winter, “that the Haym Salomon Monument Committee has already accomplished something worth while. The facts dealing with this great patriot hitherto buried in the archives of the government are now being made public.”
