National Home in the present Uritish war effort. Those in attendance are to be enlighten¬ ed on the grave war-time re¬ quirements of embattled Pal¬ estine anrl the r».'35{),000 .Jews who are not only fighting for exist¬ ence, but al.so playing a vital part in the vanguard of the forces to crush Hitlerism and pre.'^erve our democratic ideals.
With !I.110() recruits now fight¬ ing in the armed forces of Creat Hritain and with all their in- duKirial and agricultural re¬ sources, the Jews of Palestine are standing heroically by the aide of Great Britain in the stryg^je to reatore reason and Justice, to a ¦w^r-iovn y^orld^ The modem industrial machine of Palestine, developed with the help of the United Palestine Ap¬ peal, has been placed at the dis- po.sal of the British Government
More than 1200 factories ir Palestine are engaged in manu facturing products for Ihc Brit ish war effort. The present cri.sis in the lialkans must call for even more effort from the Palestinean community to stem the  Hitler drive.
