Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Chicago Conference of the American Jewish Relief Committee: An Official Record of the Proceedings of the Sessions Held at the Standard Club, September 24-25, 1921
Your Chair suggests that in order that we may arrive at proper conclusions that a basis be laid for our deliberations. I do not know of a better basis than a summary of the things which have been done in the past. I may say that it is not intended to make any speeches; it is not intended to have anyone tell us anything else except what he knows, and I want the delegates to know that we have not asked anyone to come here prepared to make a speech, but we have taken it for granted that everyone has come here with a heart and soul which is responsive to the situation as we know it to exist in Europe, or as it may be pictured to us to exist there. The press is not represented, no publicity has been given to this meeting, Nothing is to be reported as coming from this meeting except as you may determine yourselves.
We have come Here to plan together, to put our heads together, our hearts with a single purpose of interest and service, with the hope and determination that we shall all get back of the proceedings of this conference, and put them into execution.
