The sums transmitted to Palestine from the United States during the last five months equal those contributed during the same period by the small Jewish community of Palestine, it was pointed out here in Zionist circles.
While the United States has undertaken to contribute this year no less than £75,000, the sums transmitted to the Keren Hayesod so far are not more than £3,800. The United States contributes to Palestine today much less than Poland or England. Whereas it once was at the top of the list of countries collecting funds for Palestine, this year the United States has been shifted to fifth place.
The Executive of the Jewish Agency here is disappointed in the results of the present campaign in the United States, and an intensive exchange of cables is going on between the Jewish Agency and the New York headquarters, in which the Zionist leaders in New York are urged to greater activity.
