The Hebrew daily, “Davar,” welcomes the combined drive in America for the J.D.C. and Palestine. “Two campaigns would have been perhaps technically and psychologically impossible. United action ends the curious quarrel, which Zionists never wished, over the so-called competition between Palestine funds and European relief. The quota represents a considerable advance over former years.”

Another Hebrew paper, “Ha’Aretz,” rejoices that “work has finally begun. There is nothing like work to obliterate difference, diffuse unity. The quota, shows an insufficient grasp of the peculiar demands of the Palestine situation. . . The Zionist Organization of America must now seek means to intensify essential Zionist effort, namely, education, propaganda, the strengthening of political work and a greater interest in national questions among American Jewry.”
