Large Selection of Artistic Mora-
meets Here for Your Selection.
To the Editor of the Detroit Jewish
Chronicle.
Dear Sir:
Permit me to say a few words in
regard to the article that appeared
in your publication on Nov. 5, under
the title, "For Whom Does He
Speak?"
The writer of that article denounces
the idea of calling a Jewish Congress
in this country for the sole purpose
of finding means and ways of putting
an end to the bloody masacres of
Jews in Poland and Ukrainia.
I call easily see that the writer
fears, as do many incite Jews in this
country, that a Jewish Congress may
have some effect upon the standard
of our citizenship--that our neigh-
bors may call us bad citizens.
I, as a man who has served in the
last war, ask you, what is all this
nervousness and fear about? Haven't
we Jews contributed the best that
Was in its toward the battle of democ-
racy and freedom for the oppressed?
Haven't we, Jews, as much right as
the Armenians, Irish, Poles, and.
others who are working through their
associations and congresses in this
country for the good of their coun-
trymen?
Who in this world is suffering more
than our brethren in Europe? Has
the Union of American Hebrew Con-
gregations or the Union or Orthodox
Congregations, or any of the oilier
organizations mentioned in the Chron-
icle done anything to stop the po-
groins. the most horrible in the his-
tory of the Jewish race?
Only by united effort can we do
our duty towards the sufferers across
the ocean, I think we cats come to
our fellow-citizens and make them
listen to those terrible tales of op-
pression of our people. Listeu to
some of the eye-witnesses of those
atrocities or to a sufferer who has
managed to escape to this country.
Listen to them and see whether you
can go home and enjoy a good night's
sleep. After listening to some of
them, you will wonder how they have
kept their sanity or retained the de-
sire to live at all.
Now, what are we in this country
going to do? We all know that an-
other million, or several millions of
dollars, will not stop massacres.
I.et as all unite then into one or-
ganization. Call it what you may.
Let its voice our protest to the civil-
ized world. It is the only way left
to do. If the necessary steps are not
taken immediately. the rest of the
Jews will be wiped out by the hands
of the murderous groups who call
themselves the saviours of the world.
Yours very truly,
W M. M EISLER,
I86 Holbrook Ave.
