sit in every Jewish home.

tasting the bitterness that has

shall remind them that while they
are rejoicing over the deliverance
from Egypt of old, they must not
forget their duty to liberate you
from the Egypt of today. I shall
tell them that if God has not seen
fit to give us Moses and per-

they must out of the depth of their
hearts solemnly pledge themselves
to fill this void, to take up the
staff of Moses, to lead you out of
darkness into the light, out of the
wilderness into the Promised
Land shall sit and partake of the
Passover feast. But I shall ask
them to remember those who will
have no feast and no wine, but the

desolate hour that will be their

less than the relief bill for the
current fiscal year and the appro-
priation for the WPA alone is $50l,-
350,000 less than the sums allotted
to the WPA by the last congress.
The reduced funds, the commit

average of 100000. To keep en-
ployment at that level for an entire
year would require $1,000 100000

While granting President Roose-

the WPA fund in eight months the
