In connection with payment of pledges for Jewish Community Center building, the following article appeared in "The;Day": .Pledges must be kept;-—- even _ pledges to charity^—that'iis the' decision handed down by a Municipal Court in New; York Cjty.f, The case resulting in-this verdict was one in which the American Jewish Relief .•'. Committee sued a Brooklyn attorney* for the; sum of $200 ^which he pledged to the Jewish war relief campaign of 1922 and refused to pay. By the decision of .the Court, the defendant' must paynot only the original pledge, but also the interest accruing as well as the cost of the trial. ' v This is a just verdict. . F o r charity organizations, believing . in the: good faith of the;p!edger, make.' their budgets and - incur expenses'on the strength, of-it. And of all the fourflushers.-and; shirkers the meanest,- it. seems to us,- is. the man who. makes a grandstand play by pledging money to some cause," gets due; publicity, for his generous ges^ ture, and the proceeds to forget all about.it. This type ofrshirker has unfortunately multiplied ' among us of late; and - became a problem to our public organizations and" institutions;. Let- us. •_• hope that the verdict;: in the present case will have a salutary effect and' check the growth of • this most undesirably- ; weed r among us. . / . ;. . - .•.
