"Thru the medium of the Ohio Jewish Chronicle as well as ,by personal letters I am keeping the Jewry of Central Ohio informed in regard to thc latest developments of the National Campaign in every section of the country. That the full significance of the plight of our coreligionists abroad is tiow well known by every conscientious Jew is a practical certainty.

MAYOR SEASONGOOD'S
STATEMENT
Hon. Murray Seasongood,
Cincinnati's Jewish Mayor, says: !
"Tlie calamitous situation of the Jew¬ ish population a-broad in Poland, in Russia and the world over calls for the inunediatc response of American Jewry,
Thc Fifteen Million Dollars United Jewish Campaign for reconstruction and relief in the stricken areas oi the Old World is a great humanitarian project. It deserves and has received the sup¬ port of Jew and non-Jew. Only the success of this Campaign can save European Jewr>.
We, who live in the midst of pros¬ perity must not refuse the helping hand tn the unfortunate, confronted with war-time conditions in peace* time.
The character of the men who have sponsored this campaign, for example, I^uis Marshall, Nathan Strauss, JuUus Rosenwald, Felix Warburg, David A. Brown, its national chairman, is a war¬ ranty of the worthiness of the move¬ ment.
The Jews of Ohio, 1 feel confident, will not say; "Nol" (Signed)   MURRAY SEASONGOOD.
to thc effect that each one should con¬ tinue his occupation as in peace time and fronr that <la> to this no obstacle has been placid towards thc upbuilding of thc courtry and to thc participation by all of justice and liberty,
"I was in Jerusalem last May when Lord Balfour opened the Hebrew Uni¬ versity on Mount Scopus and there I heard Lord Balfour repeating the Bal¬ four Declaration, that Palestine was to become a homeland for the Jewish peo¬ ple. I noticed m. the occasion of that visit thc remarkable progress that the country has made since 1919. In 1918 I was in Tel-Aviv. It then had a popu¬ lation of three to four hundred, whereas now it has a population of over thirty thousand. When I was there last May, I was entertained at a tea on the saiAe spot which in If^lS was surrounded by sand dunes and which now is in the midst of a .street as large and as nice a; any in this city.
"The influx of the Jews in the coun^ try was considerable. Of all I have seen and I have heard the new Jewish immigrants arc proving themselves to be very capable and fit to do pioneer work to rcinhabit the uninhabited places in Palestine The self-denial of the Jew¬ ish pioneers is sulTicient assurance that the progress of the country will continue and that in a short time restore to the country the prosperity that did exist in thc days of King Solomon. This pros¬ perity will be shared by all the inhabi¬ tants, the Jews, Arabs and Christians and any little friction which may have existed is dying out and will be replaced by amity and friendship and they will work shoulder to shoulder. *'
"You know as well as I do that Great Britain will never go back on its prom¬ ise to fulfill fhe Balfour Declaration and helping the Jewish people build a home in Palestine. At the opening of the university last year I met Dr. Weiz-, mann and other Zionist leaders and was pleased at the great progress that the Zionists are making.
"I am glad to have played my part, and that it was my happy lot to help your people return to their ancient country after centuries of suffering."
