UJA CONFERENCE

trying to buy Arab friendship at
the expense of Israel. In a wildly
applauded declaration, Mr. Sha-
rett sharply rejected the 1947 par
tition plan. “The Arab invasion
killed the partition plan of 1947,”
he exclaimed. “The plan cannot
now be resurrected by word of
mouth. History has moved for
ward. Israel has moved forward.”
The former Prime Minister de
clared that since 1948 his country
has achieved an “enormous ad
vance in productive capacity and
economic performance.” He ex
pressed special gratitude at the
financial assistance accorded Is
rael’s economic growth by the
United States Government through
loans and grants, and at the same
time paifl tribute to the efforts of
American Jews for their aid to
the humanitarian work of absorb
ing Israel’s immigrants.
Mr. Warburg listed the “cru
cial” tasks which he foresaw that
the supporters of the United Jew
ish Appeal must make possible
in 1958 through both the UJA
Rescue Fund and the regular
campaign. “Some 70,000 Jews in
Eastern Europe, North Africa and
other Moslem areas will be in
urgent need of resettlement in Is
rael in 1958. Another 10,000 dis
placed Jews including refugees
who fled Egypt and Hungary last
year, and who now are in transit
camps in Western Europe can be
resettled to free countries includ
ing the U n i t e d States, British
Commonwealth lands and Latin
America.
"In Israel," he declared, UJA
funds must be used to carry for
ward vital programs of construc
tive aid for 375,000 previous im
migrants — making up more than
half of the 615,000 individuals
who will require UJA help in
1958 — whose absorption is far
more completed, or who are among
the aged, the handicapped and the
young, requiring suitable welfare
aid.
“More than 22,000 families, re
presenting 100,000 immigrant men,
women and children are still liv
ing after many years in tin-hut
towns, known as ‘ma’abaroth,’ ’’
Mr. Warburg pointed out. He add
ed that another 100,000 recent im
migrants “are living in substand
ard semi-permanent housing units.
All these people have a high pri
ority on our help,” Mr. Warburg
said.
Rabbi Herbert A. Friedman, the
UJA executive vice-chairman,
summed up 1958 objectives and
called for “meeting the greatest
part of the commitments we have
pledged ourselves” by the time
of the UJA Anniversary Confer
ence in Jerusalem next June 24-
26. “Our promises will be empty
rhetoric unless we leave here to
day ready to begin immediate
campaign activity in communi
ties across the land,” he added.
Dr. Nahum Goldmann, in the
major address of the final ses
sion, warned against any settle
ment of the Middle East problem
at Israel’s expense. He said “Is
rael may soon face its most cri
tical and decisive test as a result
of the mounting ferment in the
Middle East. The danger may not
be military at all, it may be po
litical. Attempts may soon be in
itiated to stabilize the Middle
East,” Dr. Goldman stressed that
“the weakening of Israel, an ex
emplar of democratic living to all
Africa and Asia, would weaken
the democratic cause among the
underdeveloped countries and
could be a fatal blow to the mor
al stature of the free world.” “It
is high time,” Dr. Goldmann de
clared, “that wc learned the re
petitive lesson that peace of mind
and peace of area cannot be ob
tained at the expense of others.”
Dov Joseph, Jewish Agency
treasurer, addressing the dele
gates, warned that the severe
shortage of philanthropic funds
had slowed down Israel’s absorb-
tion program “to the danger
point." He emphasized that the
problem of housing continues to
be Israel’s “greatest financial
headache,” with the inflow of
newcomers outpacing the housing
constructive program.
Charles H. Jordan, director-
general of overseas operations of
the Joint Distribution Committee,
predicted that the beginning of
1958 will see “growing numbers
of Jews on the move, forced to
flee from tyranny and anti-Se
mitism and hunger, and hoping
to find a h a v e n in hospitable
lands." He reported in detail on
the JDC program of aid to 1D.000
Jews repatriated to Poland from
Russia.
Presentation of a specially in
scribed Bible was made to Joseph
Meyerhoff of Baltimore, who is
ending his 1957 term as chairman
of the UJA National Campaign
Cabinet to assume the duties of a
national chairman for the 1958
campaign. Other leaders elected
to new posts included William
Rosenwald as UJA national chair
man representing the Joint Dis
tribution Committee; Dr. Jonah
B. Wise as honorary national
chairman; Samuel Rubin as hon
orary chairman of the 1958 UJA
Rescue fund, and Fred Forman
as chairman of UJA National
Campaign Cabinet for 1958.
