try by June, 1914, DR.. Heller an
nounced.
The United Palestine Appeal,
which is part of the United Jewish
Appeal for Refugees, Overseas Needs
and Palestine, has accepted quota
of $14,OO0,000 as American Jewry'S
share for 1914 Of the total sum Of
SIS, 497 ,919 required by the Palestine
Foundation Fund and the Jewish
National Fund, the two agencies
which compose the United Palestine
Appeal.
The report from Palestine made
public by DR.. Heller stated that 5000
immigrants had arrived in Palestine
in the four months between October
and January. These included 5000
Jews from Yeman and Turkey and
1900 from NaZi-occupied countries.
Mr.. Kaplan's cable emphasized that
the immigrants are arriving in
state of restitution. Large sums arr
required for their housing and &C
comodation.
The budget Of the Jewish Agency
includes $l,559, $50 for immigration,
relief to refugees and rescue work.
It was also announced by DR.. Hell
Ter that Jewish refugees who are
expected to arrive in Palestine In
the next two months include 500
who had chen interned at F'erra-
monti, Italy, $50 Roumanian Jewish
refugees now in Cyprus, 600 from
Turkey, 420 Bokharan Jews now IL

the funds for the transportation OF
these refugees while the United Pal.

ed for their Indignation into the
economy of Palestine. Both agencies

Appeal for Refugees, Overseas Needs

900 goal in 1914.
The explanation for the large
number of Yemenite Jews included
among recent immigrants entering
Palestine lies in the conditions OF
hunger, disease and death which
have prevailed in recent years. The
terrible hardships endured by these
Yemenite Jews have been SO great
that the Yemenite authorities mod
flied the long-standing law forbid
ding Jews to leave that country. 1t
is hoped that all or the major por-
ton of some $4,000 Jews still resi-
dent in Yemen might be rescued.
A representative Of the 1mmigra-
ton Department Of the Jewish
Agency is stationed at Alden TO fac-
ilitate the transport Of these Yem'
enite Jews.
