Dissatisfaction with the United Israel Appeal of Australia and the demand that it be dissolved was voiced here at an annual conference of the Federal Council of the Jewish National Fund.
Delegates to the parley asserted that the chief burden of administration of the United Israel Appeal falls on the J.N.F. which, however, does not receive from the campaign as much as it would if it used its traditional methods in an independent campaign. It was also reported at the conference that the united campaign was a financial failure in the small communities of Australia and New Zealand.
