SMITH, HOOVER, MANNING, PRAISE ACHIEVEMENT OF UNITED JEWISH CAMPAIGN

Commendation for the achievement of the United Jewish Campaign to date was voiced by Governor Alfred E. Smith, Secretary Herbert C. Hoover, Bishop William T. Manning and a number of other prominent Americans who have examined a report sent to them by David A. Brown, National Chairman, of the United Jewish Campaign activities since the inception of the national drive for $25,000,000.

“It is with great pleasure that I have read the Report of the present status of the twenty-five million dollar United Jewish Campaign. I am especially gratified at your sending it to me, as it is not often that I receive reports of the progress from organizations in whose behalf I have made an appeal,” Governor Smith stated in his letter to Mr. Brown.

“If I was in any way able to contribute to the success of your effort I am proud that it was my privilege to do so as Governor of the Empire State. As I stated in my letter to you, the members of our community have never failed to respond to such an appeal and I was confident they would come forward again.”

Secretary Hoover, who was the first American statesman to endorse the United Jewish Campaign and to appeal to the American people to support it, in a letter to Mr. Brown expressed satisfaction with the progress of the campaign.

Bishop William T. Manning declared that the report “reflects the highest credit upon the officers of the campaign and those associated with them and also upon our Jewish fellow-citizens and the community in general.”
