The meeting was addressed by Mrs. Robert Szold, National Presi dent. Among the very vital points which she brought home to the gather ing of 3(X) delegates representing 50,000 Zionists from all parts of the country, was the following: “The answer that the Jewish people must make to Great Britain is further work. Nothing can stop us. Hadassah recognizes as it never did before that the strength of our movement lies in ourselves. Upon us rests the responsi bility and the obligation to continue with the ideals for which we have stood for these years—to make of Palestine the Jewish national homeland that our ideals have made of it for the last 2000 years and that the inner will to live of the Jewish people will foster and go despite all the dark clouds, despite Great Britain, despite every thing. “We must ourselves find strength, the resources. All the assets which make up a real people must go into our efforts to rebuild in Palestine the new est national home. It is because such a spirit animates Hadassah that we are gathered here together as a group of Zionist women ready to do what we can to further that ideal.” live in Brooklyn rather hattan and the Bronx charity organization sh<, the philanthropy in all i Last year the New York raised about $5,0(X),(XX) and lyn Federation about Man- unified Sl1 per vise '"roughs, •-‘deration e Brook- ->!
