FUND RAISED FOR JEWS
TOTALLY INADEQUATE

Declaring that the funds thus fan
raised for Jewish relief abroad are
totally inadequate, Nathan Stratus mas
addressed letter to the central com
mittee for the relief of Jews suffer
ing. through the war. 81 Chambers
Kamaiky Is chairman and Harry
F'ischel. treasurer
The letter of Mr.. Straus supple
ments the passover appeal issued by
the central committee and says:
I'VE have heard so much of the SUI
fering of our coreligionists abroad
that we are apt to become callous to
their cries of despair. We are in
ciined to take for granted their misery
as something which does not con-
Germ us. since ii is so far away and
since we do not see it or feel 1t.
..And then we try to ease our con-
science nv claiming that we have al
ready done our duty--that we are tired
OF giving--that 1t cannot be 40 bad
now. since the war In over. And All
the other arguments made to hush the
inner voice and save our pocketbcoks.
The sad fact is that conditions are
worse than last year The return OF
the refugees in all the former zones
OF war and to the general want and
misery. They are without shelter.
without food without clothes. Their
vitality is reduced by the long deprfva =
ton and they are sick In body and
mind. Unemployment is making itself
felt everywhere. as economic condi-
tons are entirely unsettled.
IT will say nothing OF the actual
physical suffering. which has been
brought to your notice so wildly dur
ting the last years by many able writer's
and speakers. But I do want to say.
that the vers@ same conditions sui
exist and THAN all the money which
has been raised is entirely inadequate
to the needs.
IT wish I were able to convey to
you the JOY of giving--the feeling
OF happiness which makes life bliss
full existence when you know that you
have done your duty towards the re-
lief Of those who are suffering through
no fault of their own. So for God 8
sake give-giye all you can-and
quickly"

that a great deal of work was neces-

connection with over-crowding and
the absence of any provision for re-
