went on, "as the best friend we have
here tonight. / don't agree in all re-
spects with the lurid terms be has used,
but he has put the thing like an artist,
and that means plenty of emphasis. 1t
is true that New York city has not done
her share. / see many rich and powerful
men here tonight ana see many among
them who have not done one 1.-THE OF
their duty.
TT is true, Mr.. Loeb. that New York
has not done all she should. The very
magnitude of the city makes it hard for
any organization except Tammany Hall
10 do that. You in Chicago are homo
geneous community. We in New York
are heterogeneous. Our right hand
knows not what our left hand doeth
And we have not had workers enough;
we must have more.
UNLESS every man here doubles his
contribution of 1920 ] fear that when
we appear before the Almighty Judge
we shall have to plead guilty to your in
dictment. We are going to show Mr.
Loeb that there is an aristocracy of
Israel--not the aristocracy of the Rolls
Royce and Of luxury, but the aristocracy
of the spirit. of the great souls of Is
rael"
Urges Common Gratitude.
1--WE have attained so much We have
reached such heights in the mercantile
and the professional world We have
the inestimable privilege of American
citizenship. Are we going to show graf
itude for all that has come to us?
"There are 100000 war and pogrom
orphans in Europe who have no place to
go. All our Jewish orphan asylums in
the United states contain only 10000
children, and they are cared for as these
are not. OF what use is our wealth to
us unless we help?
There is no use pleading that these
Jews who are dying are not Jews of our
blood, not of our stock They are. Per-
haps most of them are of families that
came from western Europe, but do not
forget that the Polish Jews lived on the
Rhine in the fourteenth century. Some
went west and some went east that is
all. We were fortunate in that our
fathers went west"
The dinner at the Commodore was
presided over by Felix NJ. Warburg.
Julius Rosenwald of Chicago spoke
briefly David A. Brown OF Detroit.
the national chairman of the drive. un-
dertool< the collection of funds at the
Commodore. where 100000 of the ST.
100000 was subscribed
His announcement that Felix NJ. War
burg, Paul NJ Warburg and the SchEf
family had together offered 100000
was received with much applause. But
when he asked If there was any one
present who would match that contri-
button all he got was a laugh./ Mr.
Brown called on Judge Otto A Rosalsiy
and Samuel c. Lamport 90 go about
among the tables and obtain suhscrip-
tions while he carried on running fire
from the speakers table.
Most of the larger amounts had been
pledged when Mrs. Henry Moscowitz,
in charge Of the women's division in the
campaign. rose to say that Mr.. Loebs
charges were not true of the Jewish
women of New York, for whom she said
she could pledge 100000.
Challenges New York Men.
"Will any man here" asked Mr..
Brown. make a pledge with me to offer
as much as ! can offer? / am not
New Yorker. but I'm ready to help your
fund. Is there any man here who will
measure up with me?"
Nobody chanced It until Mr.. Brown
asked "If 1 give $4,000 to the New
York fund. how many men here will add
5000 to what they have already given?"
Several additions were made.
