The celebration of the 15th anniversary of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency will be a worthy occasion for testifying to, and recalling, its important position in the world today, a position fraught with the tremendous responsibility of enlightening Jewish opinion on Jewish problems and events, and of acting as a link between scattered Jewry. In a world where so much changes and happens from day to day the necessity for such a link grows, for it gives unity and courage. I look forward to hearing that such a formidable gathering as you will hold this evening will help to weld these great attributes into faith in our national task of establishing a home in Eretz Israel.
