Jewish War Relief Merely Because
You Gave to the Red Cross.

The two do not conflict. While
the Red Cross will undoubtedly
disburse without discrimination
against Jews, it must be distinctly
understood that the funds gath
cred by the Jews are for an en-
tirely different purpose and the
Red Cross cannot possibly cover
that purpose. The starving Jews
of Russia, Roumania, Palestine and
other countries must be fed by
Jews and out of Jewish funds while
the Red Cross confines itself large
ly to medical service work for the
allied governments.
The Red Cross will not maintain
soup kitchens in Constantinople,
or furnish shoes to suffering Jew
ish children in Wilma, or give bread
to the hungering Jews of Palestine,
or enter into any one Of the thou
sand and one activities that depend
upon us for maintenance.
The American Jewish Relief
Committee must send it's own med
ical unit to Palestine.
