NEW YORK-A special meeting of the oir,cci-.s of the Joint Distribution Committee ami the United Jewish Cam¬ paign was held on Sunday, April twenty- fourth, at the home of Mr. Louis Mar, shall to consider ways and means of meeting the very grave situation now confronting the Joint Distribution Com¬ mittee hccauscof lack of funds to meet tiic program in Eastern Europe, in Rus¬ sia and elsewhere.
¦The Treasurer of the Joiiit Distribu¬ tion Committee rcportiid. that there was : on.that day in, the, treasury a total of only thirty-five thousand dollars. For the remainder of April and tip to September first, nineteen Iwenty-seycii, , there is needed one million eight hundred fifty tiransaiul dollars more, if we are to con- tmue th6 program, whicfi we authorized Dr. Rosen aiid.Df. Kahn to carry out. In addition fo' this sum''the Joint Dis- ,,tributioii Committee now owes five! hun¬ dred thousand dollars .borrowed on the notes, of a; few leaders. Foiir hundred thousand doliars of these notes are pay¬ able cai-Iy in May. . .
A Splendid Record
... The United Jewish Campaign has achieved a splendid record in securing about Uvciity_ million dollars in subscrip¬ tions up to this time.rand a remarlcahle. showing has.becn madein the collection of six; million seven hundred thousand dollars which lias already been turned over tp the Joint Distribution Committee. Our lack of funds in large .measure is due to the fact'that at tlie September. ¦ conference in . Philadelphia in 1D25, the
_ Joint T3istributiqn Committee was author¬ ized to begin its program di help imme¬ diately, and -we' were compelled ¦ to bor-
" ro\y One Million Dollar's 'in advance of collections.
The actu.'ii city campaigns'.throughout the country,' however, were/not .com- , menccd in inost cases mitil the mid-spring oi V.yiii. Many largccommunities did not start their caiilpaigiis ¦ until the fall of .lU-l(h. Some campaigns were commenced during the, early part of this year, and iicveral lai'ge communities have, still Jo meet iheir .responsibility. For. that reason tlie Joint Distributioii Committee has, since the beginninii: of this campaigii, been compelled to borrow in anticipation of' the later.collectioiis of the campaign, and there has been a deficit of about One Million Dollars. The monthly drawings are approximately five, hundred thousand dollars.  .'     ..¦• jfv-  '¦
While the great mass of the conunun- itics liave loyally uiet their obligatipns in securing subscriptions, aiid in making their payments, the outstanding  fact is,
'that because of the gap betwen the ill; .ceptioil of the new, program ot the Joint ' Distribution Committee and the dates of the new camiiaigns, the Joint Distribution
'. Committee has had to resort to constant borrowing over a period ,6E a year and
"a half.   ¦    /'

And so the Wider Scope pimpaign was projected, to give the Jews of America an.opportunity to determine their future. Through their response,,the Jews of St Louis have showii that they have an in¬ telligent understanding of the problem of Jewish survival.
