Quota In Local History For Saving And
Rebuilding Lives Of European Jewry
V-E Day has come and gone, but we, the Jewfe of America, have a duty in the victorious camp.aign of the alHed forces in Europe. It is to keep the victory cheers from drowning out the cry for help that rings in our, ears.
Only the American Jewish community can help Euro¬ pe's Jews today. It alone has the time-tested instruments for giving life-saving help tliru such agencies as the Amer¬ ican Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, the J. D. C; the United Palestine Appeal, the U. P. A.; and the National Refugee Service, the N. R. S.
Realizing that this year is one of greatest crisis for our people, the like of which has never been equalled in the history of civilization, Simon Lazarus, who succeeded the illustrious leader, the late Edwin J. Schanfarber, as presi¬ dent of the United Jewish Fund, has this wfeek announced that Robert W. Schiff will again this year head the fund liaising campaign as general chairman. He will be assist¬ ed by I. W. Garek, well known attorney and veteran com¬ munal worker, as chairman of the campaign organization committee and vice-chairman of the Men's Division-
During the past few weeks numerous pre-campaign meet¬ ings of the Initial Gifts Division have been held, all of which were highly successful.

"We are therefore vitally con¬ cerned that any trusteeship plan which Is written into the United Nations charter shall e;fpressly safeguard the rights ot the Jew¬ Lsh people to Palestine and shall place no obstacles or Impedi¬ ments in the way of the exercise of those rights.
"An examination of the var¬ ious trusteesh.ip proposals re¬ veals that the definition of the purposes of the trusteeship is couched In general terms. As a result, adequate allowance is not made for the unique character of the Palestine Mandate with its dynamics In matters of popu¬ lation and itji objective of creat¬ ing a national home for a people still to come to the country.
"In our memorandum, we have offered the following five pro¬ posals;
•1) To Include in the chapter of the charter of the United Na¬ tions dealing with international trusteeship a clause designed to preserve existing rights acquired under the mandate system of the League of Nations.
'2) To center responsibility fnr the transfer of the League of Nations' Mandates lo the authority of the United Nations In the hands of the pcrnuuieni members of the Security Council together, In the case of any par¬ ticular territory held under man- dale l)y il l.'nlled Nation not a member of the Security Council, with the nation holding such mandate.
