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.
