During the Great Depression, Felix Warburg encouraged rich jews to send their money to jews living outside the United States, as seen in this Daily News Bulletin of the Jewish Telegraph Agency, dated 30th May, 1932.  Quote is at top of page 6 in this 7-page pdf.   

New York, May 18th.  (J.T.A. Mail Service).

Warburg, since it's foundation in 1914, Chairman of the Joint Distribution Committee, and now Honorary Chairman, said at a gathering of leading Jews in Buffalo, which he addressed at the Hotel Statler yesterday, urging them to continue to raise funds for the relief of the Jewish populations abroad.  But in comparison to the difficulties which the people abroad have, he claimed, ours are more easy to carry.
