What do you consider the purpose of a newspaper?
If you concede that a newspaper should be a vehicle of information, how do you ex-
plain your failure to print the rear facts about the Service-At-Cost Ordinance?
Are you afraid that, if you print the truth, your readers will see you have been lying

and will desert you for some truthful newspaper?

Should a newspaper judge public questions FOR its readers or should it provide facts
on which THEY shall judge it?

WE CHALLENGE THE NEWS TO TELL THE TRUTH!

ABE HERTZBERG, Mgr.

I IY did you refuse to print letters from News
readers urging the merits of Service-At-Cost,
substituting, instead, letters obviously written by
members of your own staff, and assailing the Or-

WHAT are the D. U. R. "broken promises" to

umns? We challenge you to name ONE!

W HY have you not included among your pub-
VV lisbed interviews on Service-At-Cost the
statements of many leading public officials and
private citizens whom you found to FAVOR the
Ordinance?
Did you omit such interviews because these men
refused to submit to your dictation and authorize
the statements you had prepared for them to sign?

S it ignorance or merely characteristic unfairness

1 which causes you to refer to the Service-At-Cost

Ordinance as a "30-year franchise" when the Or-
dinance plainly specifies that the City can end it at
the end of any year by giving SIX MONTH'S
NOTICE?

WOULD you be willing to paralyze Street Rail-
Vlf way service in Detroit in order that you may
profit by a prolonged turmoil and eventually saddle
the taxpayers with your own pet plan?

how hungry you would be if your
mother forgot to give you your din-
ner some day. Then try to imagine
how hungry some of these children
must be who think themselves lucky

consists only of hard bread and wa-
tery soup, which you would not care
to eat. •
In America we have more than
enough food. Children with three
good meals every day usually have
plenty of candy, too: Many of them
are anxious to do without the candy,
that the starving children in Europe
may have bread to eat. All over
this rich, generous country, little
children are saving their pennies that
the little children in Europe may have
food, clothing, and even toys, once
more. Begin to save your money this
very (lay, and as soon as you have
a dollar saved, send it with the money
your parents are sending, to the Edi-
tor of the Jewish Chronicle. Then
begin to save all over again.
Remember, boys and girls of
America, the orphans of Europe are
waiting for you to feed them.
