the need of every housewife for suitable con-

This year's campaign is being
Over Station WMBC: May 5,

It so happens that the depression that
has hit us was responsible for the setting
up of new standards of giving. Two years
ago this community entirely exempted
itself from contributing to national and
international causes. Our gifts to Ger-
man-Jewish relief causes and for the settle-
ment of large numbers of refugees in Pal-
estine• have been cut to ridiculous sums.
Similarly, we have been compelled to re-
duce also the gifts that come from Detroit,
through the Jewish Welfare Federation,
to numerous other important causes, such
as the Hies (Hebrew Sheltering and Immi-
grant Aid Society) which does an import-
ant job among Jewish immigrants through-
out the world, and other agencies.
An honest examination of the figures
involved in the campaign should force an
admission that the community is not being
overtaxed; that it would not be unfair to
ask for much larger sums for the support
of our local agencies alone, not to speak
of the important national Jewish obliga-
tions. We are curtailing the income of
our Hebrew schools, the North End Clinic,
the Jewish Old Folks Home, whose main-
tenance fund is provided for by the Fed-
eration's Allied Jewish Campaign, the He-
brew Free Loan Association, and of the
other agencies included in the drive.
But we are primarily concerned at this
time with the pressing overseas obliga-
tions. It is an unfortunate fact that in
speaking of the work of the Joint Distribu-
tion Committee, which, with the Ameri-
can Palestine Campaign, are united in the
United Jewish Campaign for relief and
reconstruction efforts abroad-we empha-
size German-Jewish needs but understate
the Polish-Jewish tragedy.
Here are some facts about the Jewish
situation in Poland which should serve to
stimulate action in behalf of the drive:

1 ■ Warsaw child mortality is propeetio ■ -
ately greater than among non-Jews.
In Vilna and the smaller towns in Eastern
Poland where poverty is at its height, every
fourth Jewish child born dies.
Disease, physical and mental, is rampant.
Tuberculosis is growing rapidly among
Polish Jewry.
Insanity among Jews is fur higher than
among the non-Jews.

Though the Jew• form only 10 per cent of
the population, the number of Jewish mental
cases totals 22 per tent of the whole. Last
year the figure was only 16 per cent.
The number of suicides is constantly ins

creating.

special Jewish benches-were set aside
for the Jewish children in the schools of
Germany, in order to segregate them, like
lepers, from the rest of the school children.
Lady Violet Banham-Carter, during the
course of an address she delivered in Lon-
don a few months ago, read a letter from
a German-Jewish child, a boy of 13, the
son of a Jewish father and a Christian
mother, who was brought up as a Protest-
ant and was, until lately, in a school in a
southern German provincial town. Now
he is safe in Paris, and from there he wrote
in part: "I was the only Jew in my class.
Until Easter I was a Protestant, then they
found out that my father was a Jew and
so I became one. After that everything
was different. No one would be friends
with me. No one would answer me. In
school no one would sit next to me. They
all used to want to before, as I was the
best in the class and they all wanted to
crib. Now I had to sit all alone on the
back bench. At first I was frightfully
unhappy, more so as the masters, who al-
ways used to like me, could not stand the
sight of me any more. When they came
into the classroom everyone had to jump
up and with right hand outstretched shout
'Heil Hitler!' I did too, or I didn't. I
don't know. If I did then the whole class
would shout 'The Jew is profaning our
greeting!' And if I didn't, the master
shouted 'You wait, you Marxist ...'! Then
I was ordered to shout 'Heil Hitle!' alone
three times. The whole class laughed. I
was so afraid I wanted to cry. And then I
used often to be late so that I shouldn't
have to shout 'Heil Hitler!' The master
used to give me extra work to do as a
punishment. He wrote in the class book
' for Jewish slovenliness.' "
Only the most hard-hearted can possibly
fail to respond to a community appeal
which aims to provide a minimum of relief
for some of the German-Jewish children
who are subjected to such abuse and deg-
redation. Only the most hard-hearted can
possibly fail to respond to all of the other
causes which aim to provide relief for
young and old, for our people here and
abroad, and at the same time to keep alive
the Jewish spirit by financing important
Jewish educational movements.
Advance reports indicate that then, 1,
a desire on the part of a much larger
number of Detroit Jews to become partici-
pants in local community efforts, and that
former donors are increasing their gifts.
This is heartening, and encourages us to
hope that the entire quota asked in the
present drive will be fully subscribed.
An interesting community development
as a- result of the present campaign is the
formation of the conference of Jewish
organizations for the support of both the
Allied Jewish Campaign and the Old
Folks Home building fund. It should be
stated to the credit of Kurt Peiser, execu-
tive director of the drive and of the Jew-
ish Welfare Federation, that for the first
time many organizations have enrolled to
support the Federation's projects and are
thus making it possible for true unity to
be achieved here. Mr. Peiser aims not only
to retain the interest of a large number
of Jewish groups in Detroit in fund-raising
efforts, but also to form a permanent Jew-
ish Community Council to include in its
scope all important Jewish projects claim-
ing the attention of Jewry. In this effort
Mr. Peiser should also be given the whole-
hearted support of the entire community
in order that fund-raising may be made
easier and that efforts to fight discrimina -
tion and to advance Jewish ideals may
similarly be coordinated so that whatever
action is taken should be the work of an
organized community rather than of a
handful of people.
The current drive is blessed with go"
leadership. Fred M. Butzel, Henry Wine-

support of an able army of workers. They
are deserving of a devoted community fol-

a very recent report on the horrible moral
and physical degeneration of Polish Jewry.
and the frightening pauperization of
3,000,000 of our kinsmen in that country.
These figures tell only part of the story
describing how millions of people are be-
ing placed on the fringe of society, how
two of the three million Jews in Poland
are without the means of a livelihood and
the other third of this impoverished group
being helpless in a situation the mere
thought of which is sufficient to drive to
despair. In Poland proper it drives to
insanity.
Every available force at our disposal
should be utilized to solve the problems
for as many as can possible be saved, in
Poland, in Germany, in other sections of
hate-ridden Eastern Europe. The Joint
Distribution Committee, if provided with
sufficient funds, can go a long way in solv-
ing some of these problems. But if com-
munities like Detroit should fall short of
their quotas and instead of raising their
minimum obligations should instead incur
another community deficit, it will mean
not a local but a national deficit to the dis-
credit of our pecple here. And if we fall
short of the quota, we are partners with
the various elements of bigotry and dis-
crimination which help to drive the mil-
lions of Jews abroad to poverty and des-
pair.
There is another important element in
the present campaign which must not be lowing.
