The dinner was held in the Mayflower I Hotel. i The 183 pledges followed a speech; by Dr. Abba Hillel Silver, president; of the Zionist Organization of Amer- j ica and head of the Central Confer- ! ence of American Rabbis, in which; he pointed out that the Jewish refu-j gee was "beginning to crack." Explaining that the refugee's! hopes have been raised high "and then dashed· down," Dr. Silver, in| his plea for funds, added: "How; long can the human heart endure; t.hpRA frustrations?" Loyalty Manifested. "To me a meeting such as this is a manifestation of loyalty and of a great sense of responsibility," Dr. Silver said. "Forty per cent of our people have been destroyed. The Jewish people are the toughest, not ; in numbers but in fibre and life- j hunger. Now they are proving their ι toughness by gathering together and concerning themselves with people i they have never seen." This, he i said, was because of "universal bonds of memory, a sense of fraternal com pulsion and of love." Dr. Silver told how industrial, agricultural and cultural progress was being made In Palestine al-: though press accounts tell of noth-j ing but violence. He said the money donated makes it possible to take care of immigrants to that land, and that this year 18,000 i refugees would be admitted legally; and "quite a number of others not ; legally." He suggested that the United States, acting within the frame-ί work of United Nations, take the j lead in obtaining UN action for unr 'stricted immigration to Pales ; tine. Another speaker, Ε. I.
