Humanitarian Endeavor Vital to War Effort, Says
President Franklin D. Roosevelt in Letter Made
Public by C. W. Avery, War Chest Chairman
Communication Endorses United Jewish Appeal for Refugees,
Overseas Needs and Palestine Which Are Included in City's
Unprecedented Campaign with Community Fund, and U.S.O.
The significance of humanitarian endeavor in wartime as a means of upholding
the ideals of democracy which all free men are struggling to defend in the present
conflict was stressed today by Clarence W. Avery, ChairMan of the Was Chest of
Metropolitan Detroit, as he made public a letter from President Roosevelt in en-
dorsement of the United Jewish Appeal for Refugees, Overseas Needs and Palestine,
which, through the Allied Jewish
Campaign is included in this
city's unprecedented campaign
for the Community Fund, U.S.O.
and war relief overseas.
In his message,
President
Roosevelt said: "In these days
when inhumanity and cruelty are
taking toll of so many innocent
victims throughout the world, it
is more than ever necessary for
us to uphold the ideal of help-
fulness to others. Organizations
such as the United Jewish Ap-
peal are giving concrete evidence
of the determination of free men
that persecution, homelessness
and racial discrimination shall be
banished. Through the support
which is extended to this organ-
ization and to other similar or-
ganizations, we can reinforce the
humanitarian front as a vital
sector in our war effort."
The United Jewish Apeal for
Refugees, Overseas Needs and
Palestine functions as the single
fund-raising agency for the Joint
Distribution Committee, United
Palestine Appeal and National
Refugee Service. Since the ad-
vent of the Nazi regime in
1933, these agencies have sought
to stem the tide of suffering and
homelessness which overwhelmed
many hundreds of thousands as a
result of an unrelenting cans-
