“I hope when I return to the United States I will find that the $15,000,000 Overseas Chest of the Joint Distribution Committee has met with the greatest success. I am confident that American Jewry will wholeheartedly support the United Jewish Campaign,” declared Julius Rosenwald, well-known American Jewish philanthropist who donated $1,000,000 toward the Chest, before sailing yesterday on the Scythia for a cruise in the Mediterranean Sea.
In its cruise, the Scythia will call at the ports of Egypt, Turkey and Palestine. Mr. Rosenwald, however, will not disembark in Haifa.
“I do not expect to visit Palestine because my health does not permit me to make a strenuous journey,” Mr. Rosenwald declared in an interview with the representative of the “Jewish Daily Bulletin.”
