sought from bankers also run into mil-lions
of dollars. . . In addition, Jewish
Agency officials in New York are work-ing
on a plan to
contact individual
wealthy Jews
throughout t he
country in order to
secure substantial
loans. . . In pre-paring
this plan,
the Agency experts
are careful that
such individual loans not affect any
large contributions to the United Jew-ish
Appeal. . . Some aspects of the loan
which the Jewish Agency is seeking in
Washington may require Congressional
action. . . Here is where American
Zionist leadership, through its influence
in Congressional circles, will again be
in a position to perform a great service
to the Jewish State. . . That goes to
- show that the time is not yet ripe
for the dissolution of the American
Zionist Emergency Council, as some
groups have suggested. . . Incidentally,
the fate of the Emergency Council
was discussed at a meeting of Zionist
leaders this week. . . It was decided to
prolong the life of the Council until
Oct. 1, when the Jewish State is offi-cially
set up.
* ZIONIST AFFAIRS
Dr. Abba Hillel Silver is taking a
leave of absence of six months from
his temple in Cleveland. . . He will
spend most of that time in Palestine. . .
Who is behind the "mysterious" or-ganization
American Friends of a Jew-ish
State? . . . The name of the organ-ization
was officially registered soon
after the conclusion of the U.N. Gen-eral
Assembly. . . Zionist leaders are
trying to establish who the founders
of the group are. . . Don't speculate
on the name of the new Jewish State.
. No name will be given to it prior
to the National Assembly which will
be convened in Jerusalem to elect a
President and to select the official name
for the State. . . Since it is taken for
granted that Dr. Weizmann wil be
the first President, there is much talk
of the possibility of having the capi-tal
of the Jewish State established in
Rehovoth. . . On the other hand, there
is a suggestion to make Sarona-the
former Nazi-infested German settlement
-the capital of the Jewish State. . .
Sarona is a suburb of Tel Aviv and
will be among the first areas in the
Jewish State to be evacuated by the
British. . . With the competition be-tween
the extremists and the Zionist-
Laborites in the DP camps not
subsiding, a new type of "illegal" im-migration
to the Jewish State is feared.
Some believe that as soon as the Jewish
State is established, Zionist extremists
will try to send in as many of their
members in the DP camps as possible.
If they are not admitted to the Jewish
State by the Jewish Government, the
extremists will try to land them "illegal-ly."
. . Since the Jewish States does not
contemplate admitting more than 75,-
000 immigrants a year during the first
two years, such "illegal" immigration
is likely to attract many impatient dis-placed
Jews who will not be among the
first to be admited legally.
* COMMUNAL TRENDS
Now that the United Jewish Appeal
has decided to launch its $250,000,000
drive for 1948, many informal polls
are being taken on what will be the
sum actually raised. . . However, it
will be interesting for many to know
that at the Atlantic City Conference of
the U.J.A., there was practically no
opposition to the above goal when it
was discussed at the committee which
was to recommend the quota for the
new year. . . There was no doubt in
anybody's mind concerning the neces-sity
of having a much larger quota for
the coming year, even though this
year's quota of $170,000,000 was not
reached. . . The most interesting part
of the U.J.A. conference was the great
and historic evening session at which
Weizmann, Morgenthau, Lehman, Gen.
McNarney, Gen. Hilldring, Shertok and
other celebrities spoke. . . The most
inspiring address was delivered by Dr.
Weizmann. . . Incidentally, this was
the first time in 30 years that Gen.
Hilldring, who played such an impor-tant
role at the United Nations on the
Palestine question, had delivered a
speech as a civilian. . . And his maiden
civilian address will long remain in the
memory of each of the 1,200 Jewish
leaders who attended the Atlantic City
parley. . . The conference was domi-nated
by the intense desire of all dele-gates,
without distinction, to see the
Jewish State come into being as smooth-ly
as possible. . . The needs of the
Jewish in Europe received less atten-tion.
. . However, expert appraisal on
the basis of first-hand observations in
Europe, emphasized that even in the
best case-if there is a peaceable set-tlement
in Palestine and no further
infiltration to the U.S. zone from East
European countries-the J.D.C. will
have to care for the DP's for at least
three years. . . A less optimistic as-sumption
included the possibility of the
J.D.C. being concerned with DP's for
as long as 10 years, should Jews from
Roumania, Hungary, Bulgaria and Po-land
choose to flee their countries
ipto the U.S. zone with the intention
of reaching Palestine from there.
