By THE HON. PAUL V. McNUTT

Through your influential and widely read pub-
elication I wish to extend a hearty and deep-felt
Rosh Hashonah greeting. The spirit of the occa-
sion has always appealed to me. You do not

the wisdom of the ages you look upon it as a day
for spiritual stock-taking, for introspection, for
rededication to those ideals which have brought
you survival, strength, and purpose, with such
magnificent benefit to the world.
Such a reaffirmation of faith and loyalty is par-
ticularly timely. It is needed by all lovers of
democracy as we face 5701 Anno Mundi. Sadly

enough, it has become almost trite to say that

we live in difficult days. We are all mindful of

the tragedy of millions of Jews abroad; we must
face facts and realize that intolerance and pre-
judice are making inroads in this country. We
know that attacks on minority groups are threats
to our national democratic ideal which is based
Rosh Hashonah Greetings
on respect for the freedom, the liberty, the dig-
nity, and equality of all minority groups.
But it is not a sufficient defense of our way of
life to be intolerant of intolerance. We must
work and we must have faith to inspire us to
work for our religious and political ideals.
We have faith. Jewish fidelity to tradition and
heritage, symbolized by Rosh Hashonah, is an

as never before. Alone among the peopples of

However, faith alone is not enough. The Jew

flourish cannot survive by adopting an ostrich at-
titude—by pretending that the coming year will
be serene and without severe tests for democracy.
We must all recognize that only sound internal
unity gives us strength to face an hostile world.
Holiday Greetings and Best Wishes
We must recognize that we have would-be Hitlers
and Goebbels in our midst. We must recognize
that these parasites on the body politic feed on
discontent and exploit dissatisfaction in order to
foster hatred to serve their own ends. The most
effective way to fight them is to remove the fes-
tering social sores on which they seek to capital-
ize. We must face courageously and honestly
the fact that mass unemployment and social dis-

is a direct relation between the social legislation

Hate and discontent and prejudice arise from
fear—fear of insecurity and economic frustration.
The youth unable to get a job and the family man
facing penniless old-age are always the nucleii of
those dissatisfied groups ready to listen to dema-
gogues offering crack-pot utopias. The man who
has a job with unemployment compensation bene-
fits to protect him against suffering from its loss,
the man who may find hope and help towards a
new job through the employment service, and the
man who can look forward to security and in-
dependence because of old-age and survivors' in-
surance all have a degree of security. They are
not malcontents and they do not hate easily. They
have the time and the disposition to consider
issues critically. I cannot emphasize too strongly,
therefore, that the salvation of democracy and
minority groups rests in the continuation of so- ,
cial progress which will eradicate want and in-
security. By removing discontent springing from
these sources we can make ourselves invulnerable
to hate-mongers within and to threats from be-
yond our borders.
For this reason, I profoundly believe that in
carrying on the program for unemployment com-
pensation, employment services, old-age and sur-
vivors' insurance ,the Civilian Conservation Corps,
and the National Youth Administration, we are
entrusted with work which is the keystone of our
internal defense of democracy and of the pro-
tection of minority rights.
As you rededicate yourselves to your faith and
your ideals on this Rosh Hashonah I am proud
and privileged to give you reassurance that we
who work in the Government also renew our ef-
forts to root out the present anxieties and fears
of insecurity which breed threats to those of your
faith and to all Americans.
In this program of internal defense your Gov-
ernment works shoulder to shoulder with private
social agencies such as those of which Detroit
may well be proud. We are mindful of the aid
and the strength for democracy contributed by
the Detroit Jewish Community Council, the Child
Placement Bureau, the Social Service Bureau, the
Home for the Aged, and the North End Clinic,
to mention but a few of Detroit's splendid social
service organizations.
Thus, strengthened within our gates, together
we may face the world and the New Year with
confidence, pride, and high purpose. It is my sin-
cere hope and earliest prayer that we shall de-.
stroy the forces of darkness and hate. May the
Jewish Community of Detroit prosper and con-
tinue to contribute to the City, the State, and the
Nation by its intelligent citizenship, its adherence
to a rich heritage, and its loyal Americanism. It
is with this spirit and with faith in this ideal that
we greet the New Year.
