Chance to DO Good.
wye are in the position of holding
the Bat for the Jews of New York city
relief, to the saving OF the lives of the
Jewish people in all the war devas-
tated regions" said Mr.. Warburg. I'VE
have been asked to make II possible
through our effort for the Jews of this
city to give in order that the Jews
abroad may not die. This campaign
for 100000 is but repetition Of
what has gone on all over the United
States during the year. New York
alone has been thus far deprived of
the opportunity to give its quota for
the most urgent, the most worthy OF
all causes which have ever appealed
to the Jews as Jews.
This campaign is a campaign of,
by and for the people OF New York
city without regard to their station in
life. The slogan will be. Think,
Thank, Help"
Jacob II. Schiff in his remarks de-
clared to the guests that never was
the actual need Of the Jewish people
80 great as now, that the ending OF
the war had but increased the scope
of the opportunity to give help, Great
AS has been our duty, the. duty Of Jews
TO hearken to the cries which have
come to US through the past four
years. our duty to-day Is even
greater" he said.
DR.. Goldwasser outlined the plans o.
the campaign, and expressed his APP
probation of the part the division
chairmen, campaign workers and
others are playing in the preparations.
while Mr.. Ward declared that of the
many campaigns in which he has been
engaged, none had given him greater
satisfaction.
New York City's Quota,
Jacob Billikopf, who has been in
charge of the collection OF funds by
the American Jewish Relief Commit
tee throughout the country. gave fig.
ures to show that while New York
city's quota Of 5000, 600 is the same
us last years. it is relatively much too
low, for the reason that virtually
every other community in the country
has many times exceeded its last
years quota.
