The call of the executive, after pointing out that the American Jewish Committee in 1914 initiated the nation-wide effort of the Jews of America to come to the aid of their brethren in Europe and gave the sum of $100,000 as the first contribution to this relief and recalling that in 1918 it greeted the Balfour Declaration and pledged its support to those who seek to establish in Palestine a center for Judaism, urges its members and all other Jews to support the Allied Jewish Campaign and whole-heartedly endorses the purposes of the campaign.
