50,000 dollars, a quarter of the total of 200,000 dollars raised for the Palestine campaign at the farewell dinner given here to Professor Einstein (reported in yesterday’s J.T.A. Bulletin) was given by Mr. Felix M. Warburg.

There is no blinking the fact that because of the unsettled financial condition the situation in Palestine is serious, Mr. Warburg wrote in a message to the meeting held in New York on January 25th. to launch the 2½ million dollar campaign of the Jewish Agency for Palestine. Much that has been accomplished is in real danger, he said, unless financial aid reaches Palestine quickly. At this present moment notes are coming due which cannot be met. Upon the success of this effort much depends if the upbuilding of Palestine and the honour and prestige of the Jews throughout the world are to be maintained.
