The President of the World Zion

At the annual convention of the

for the Mizrachi, as the religious-na-
tional party in the World Zionist Or

the means for the development of Pal

The time has now come to transform
our speech into action.
Every Jew, whatever his affiliation
or synpathies, must and indeed will
at this crucial moment do all in his
power to aid the "Keren HayessOd'
campaign in America so that the neces-
sary sums may be raised wherewith
to redeem the soil of Palestine and to
accomplish the industrial growth and
development OF our land. under the
supervision of the special Economic
Council, which is II part of the World
Zionist Organization.
But upon the great masses of orth-
odoX Jewry and upon the Mizrachi
members there rests an even greater
obligation to help bring about the sue

this staumch element of our people
Judaism was ever interlinked with Ma
