22 DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE and The Legal Chronicle "NO DUNKIRK FOR US" By EDDIE CANTOR EDITOR'S NOTE: On the occasion of the New Year Eddie Cantor has add d this special message to the Jews of America, concerning a cause which is very close t o his heart. Mr. Cantor. whose career as a human bein g equals in prominence his as an outstanding comedian, tells in his own way what the United Jewish Appeal means to him and his family. Believe me, I wish I could be in your home and talk to you face to face. Because this is a prob- lem which involves you and me. We're not the only ones—there are a lot of other people con- cerned in this—hundreds of thou- sands, yes, millions. But the trouble is that as soon as any- body mentions them, you and I NEW YEAR'S GREETINGS TO ALL!

SEASON'S GREETINGS AND BEST WISHES Bull Dog Electric Products Company begin to think of the word, "char- ity." And charity has nothing to do with it. The days of giving to somebody else are over. We know now that the help we give really helps us as much as it helps anyone else. I don't think I'm doing anything noble when I give to the United Jewish Ap- peal. The U.J.A. helps the Jews in Europe and it helps the Jews in Palestine and it helps the refu- gees in our own country, right here. But when I give to the U.J.A. I'm doing it as much for myself, for my wife, my daugh- ters and say grandchildren as I do it for anyone else. We're all in the same boat. Do you think that Hitler has a list on which you or I or any other Jew is exempt? As far as the Nazis are concerned, the only good Jews are dead Jews. Remember, there can't be a Dunkirk for the Jewish peo- ple. Are you getting tired of the story of Jewish misery? Are you beginning to feel that maybe we ought to forget about the whole Jewish problem during the war? If you are, you're falling into a Nazzi trap. When you lose the capacity to be moved by a story of Jewish tragedy—beware! When you say, "It's all the same old story"—beware! When our hearts fail to respond and when our emotions are frozen, we have fallen victim to the Nazi propaganda. How can we expect to arouse the world to our plight if we our- selves are going to react with no more feeling than a scarecrow? Don't let anybody tell you to wait until the war is over to solve the Jewish problem. Hitler is solving it in his own way right now and if we don't do some- thing about it there will be nothing left to mark the place of Jewish communities in Europe but the graves of hundreds of thousands of massacred, murdered Jewish men, women and children. And if they die, we may be next. They'•e fighting our battle. They've been on the firing line for nine years. It's our patriotic duty to help them; to give the oppressed Jews in Europe the courage to carry on; to give the heroic Jews of Palestine, fighting for democracy, the means to help us win; to help the refugees in the United States to be good Americans. Don't take my word for it. The highest government leaders will tell you that the fullest support of the United Jewish Appeal this year is a part of our war work as Americans. If we want to pro- tect our own liberty and our own security, we've got to do every- thing we can to free our fellow- Jews over there. This is a tre- mendous job but it's being done every day at this moment. The Joint Distribution Committee is help:n• hundreds of thousands of Jews in Europe, Latin America and in many other lands; the United Palestine Appeal is build- ing up Palestine, which is devot- ing all of its manpower and re- sources to help keep the Axis out of the Middle East, and the Na- tional Refugee Service is giving the refugees among us a chance for a new life. As Americans • we know that we've got to fight on every front wherever it is—in India, Aus- tralia,—to save our freedom at home. As Jews we can do no less. It's all part of the same fight and the United Jewish Appeal is our lend-lease program to help the Jewish people come through the war to victory and freedom. We must be in this fight with everything we have. We must do it now for the sake of all the things we hold dear—for out' families, yours and mine; for our children and their children. Let's begin to make sacrifices now and we will win for ourselves and America. Give to the limit this year to the United Jewish Ap- peal!

CHARLES A. SPRAGUE OREGON "The whole world is indebted to the ancient Hebrews for their legacy of a purified religion and to modern Jews for their alert social c'qnscience. Victims in sonie lands of cruelty and violence and in others of prejudice and dis- crimination, Jews naturally wonder what the future holds for them. While I know that utter despair has at times driven Jews to self-destruction the great majority are sustained by the same hope which has supported them in past centuries of trial. Now the security of minorities is recognized as a prime objective of the foes of the axis powers. Though we gird the sword to put down the ag- gressor our final reliance must be on the spread of moral Machinery enlightenment. This is a task resting on leaders of all races, creeds and nations and is indispensable to avert social chaos." Tools—Many Kinds ARTHUR H.

In his response to the governors' Rosh Hashonah greetings, Dr. Israel Goldstein, president of the Synagogue Council, said "We accept your expression of good will and friendship with more than formal acknowledgement. Your utterance is expressive of the spiritual bond which unites Christian and Jew in the CO. American fellowship as fellow-builders and fellow-defenders of our democracy, pledged with out lives to safeguard it from all 149 E. Lamed St. harm. As the sons and daughters of American Israel go to their synagogues on Rosh Hashonah to utter their prayers and their hopes for the new year in their religious calendar, they will re- dedicate themselves to the principles and purposes which underlie both our American and our Jewish heritage." — BUY WAR BONDS! — A Reliable Place To Buy • STRELINGER
