Passover Message
Frvm The President Of The UJFC
The message of Passover, 1971 was never more-timely. It tells of religious freedom, of the exodus from a land of slavery and oppression, lliis year, too, our people in many parts of the world seelc religious freedom, seek to •• leave lands where they cfinnnot live as Jews, ieuids which are hostile to^them, under economic, social and political peril.
Thus our joy at this season is lesseneid by the thought of our people in coiintries where the struggle for human' dignity and their ri^t to exist as a free people is    still     in     jeopardy.
Thus we must continue to feed the hungry, to help to freedom those who can leave, to fulfill the spirit of. the Hagaddah, by' having symbolically as our guests at our Seder tables, the needy and Digressed Jews of the world.
This is the time when we must reinforce our efforts to help the heroic people of Israel to secure more firmly and enduringly their freedom against the' destruction which threatens them from all sides.
This is the time when the sacrifices   of   the   brave
Why America Will Stand By Israel

(WlJP)r-Once again we face a'Passbver season as our ::liearts.tum to the past, and it's still; Pass-Over for the children of Israel. History is repeating itself in all its stark and perilous reality, but this tinie, as we take to the Sedertable and read the Hagaddah, the E;xodus and Egyptian episodes have -taken; on global dimensions. The struggle, in reality, is 'nota.localone. It is a conflict between East and West and America is-yery mudh in- : volved. There can be no escape for AVashington.
Despite the current ap¬ parent' differences which have  arisen   betweeii   the United Stat^ aiid Israel on the  question  of  a   peace settlement, it is the view of v.your- corrjespondent that, i^when tbeiSituation V(<11 come /down tiiii^^li^itaiclJs^^l'&ny '¦ showdftlwWs«n'tingenby;'both theWitW-iiloiilSd'and the Congress^notwithstanding
politicalljr-unstable Turkey, Greece or even Italy will take. Everyone knows where Israel stands.
Biit there is another, even more important, reason why this writer believes America and IsraeJ^.2|^iie linked in a common Afjit^gj^:
the Fulbrights '^d the State Department Arabists—will stand firnily by Israel.
It might be queried: On what grounds does he believe that the' United States will not repeat What iidid in 1956- 57 und^r the Eisenhower Administration, namely, once again join the Soviet Union and the^roup of non- ' aligned UN stajtes in- a bolid attempt to compel Israel tb withdraw prior to her seciirement of.a n^otiated peace?
Your . correspondent's reply to this is quite simide. First of all, President Nixon is not a "Dulles-guided- Eisenhower." He makes his own decisions. Next, it is to the best interests of America to keep the Jewish State Strong in a region most vital to the security of the.U.S. The loss of Israel as a Western bulwark would, be

people of Israel must be matched by our own sacrifices, if they are to survive, if. the eternal message of Passover is to have renewed meaning and force. The greatesr our purpose, the greater the difficulties, the greater must be, and are, our efforts
Even as I extend to each of you Passover greetings, in behalf of the officers and Board of IVustees of the United Jewish Fund and Council, I urge you to remember our brothers who need our help, as you sit with your families at your Seder tables.
