ing explicit statement of the purposes
for which the fund is being collected.
To-day the Jews Of America are con

ness. II relates to the tragic plight Of
the Jews of Eastern Europc-a situa-

1t was believed that with that sum our
efforts for constructive relief would
solve all existing problems and render
future appeals for help unnecessary.
These expectations would have been
realized under normal circumstances
Unfortunately, however, economic dis
asters which could not have been fore.
seen have made 1t imperative to come
once more to the rescue.
'Ihc Jews Of America, by their gen
erosity, have literally saved the lives
OF their brethren and have filled them
with hope and ambition. Within the
past year, however, new misfortunes
have overwhelmed them, SO that today
they are again threatened with ab-
solute ruin. with famine, and with the
destruction OF their cultural life. Help
must not be deferred. Unless II comes
speedily 1t will be too late.
These conditions exist In every par,
OF Poland. In Roumania Ltthuania
and Latvia). In Russia and in the
