August 15, 1937
See Original Daily Bulletin From This Date

WARNED BY AMERICAN MEMBERS OF THE POSSIBILITY OF A FALLING-OFF IN CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE UNITED STATES AS A RESULT OF THE CONTROVERSY OVER PARTITIONING PALESTINE, THE ZIONIST FUNDS COMMISSION TODAY DECIDED TO ISSUE A FINANCIAL APPEAL TO JEWS THE WORLD OVER.

THE COMMISSION’S MANIFESTO WILL EMPHASIZE THAT DURING THE TRANSITION PERIOD UNTIL THE PROPOSED JEWISH STATE CAN BE ESTABLISHED, THE ECONOMIC EQUILIBRIUM OF PALESTINE WILL BE UPSET AND THAT ONLY AN INCREASE IN NATIONAL FUNDS WILL HELP STABILIZE THE ECONOMY OF THE JEWISH HOMELAND.

Reporting the stories that define our era. When history unfolds in real-time, the Jewish world turns to JTA. Your support ensures we can document the complexities of war and the resilience of Jewish communities with integrity.
