Dr. Sihwariz added that "It will be ihi' kind of emergency tlial will not wail for tile for- mulali.iii ami cariying out of carefully   laid   plans".
¦\sseriing that the .Jews In .¦\ineri(;a will find themselves confronted with emergency sit- iKitunis exceeding the current financial resources of llie .Joint Dlsiribulion Committee, Dr. Sclnvtirfz declared: :
'Many of us have been hoping secretly that when the war was oviM- an(| the situation became clear, we woukl find that the tragedy was not as great as we liad imagined it, or as it had liecn described. J am afraid, lio\\ever, that we tire going to' 1 lie ilksajipointed in that hope, that we are going to discover that the .lewish coimnunlties of Kiirope arc in ruins: that we are going to find a country like Hol¬ land whicii had a .lewish com¬ munily of 110.01)0 reduced to some l.'i.OOO or 'JO.ono . Jews. 'I'hal is the kind of thing we are going to find in Western and Central ICurojie. 1 do not have to. cx|»iain to you the tragedy we are going lo find in I'oland. This is unfolding daily. In.Po- lanil. when all 'of iliesc cities famous in .Jewisli history and lore lieconie lilierated, we shall liroliabiy find .lewish communi- lics rediiced to remnants. That is the situation we must i)e pre- p.ircd f<rr: hectuise we shtili be called ujion to deal with those wlio icieain 1111 an emergency basis. We shall be called upon i(j deal with tiio.se situations ([Uickly  and  efoctively."
Dr. Schwartz ouilineti the re¬ lief programs that had been car¬ ried out hy the J. D. C. In Slo¬ vakia, Rumania, Hungary and Poland during the occupation. "Our relief activities In most of these places" he declared, "have not stopped for a single da.v. Through Switzerland alone, for the occupied countries, we ¦ have expended about $6,000,000 under war t:onditions, with all the difficulties and with all of the complicated, although nec¬ essary, regulations of the Treas¬ ury ;md State anti other gov¬ ernmental   departments".
In a letter to Paul Baerwald, Chairman of the committee, Herbert H. Lehmann, chairman of the UNRRA, called attention' to the "very close and constant cooperation between UNRRA and the .1. D. C. both here and overseas". Mr. Lehmann's let¬ ler said:
"It serves to highlight what I have publicly and privately said Iiefore, that the voluntary agenctes possessing the exper¬ ience anti tibility have a defi¬ nite and responsible task to per form In the vast job of reclaim¬ ing the broken lives and shat¬ tered communities of the world".
