Welcomes the Jewish News and Urges
Co-Operation of Jews of Every Shade
of Religious Opinion
Palm Beach, Fla., March 15, 1942
The announcement that a new Jewish periodical is about to be
launched is In itself not a thing about which to become greatly excited.
It has for years been a matter of unfavorable comment that there are
dozens of so-called Jewish newspapers in every part of the land that
cannot possibly justify their existence. They render no service to the
Jewish cause; they have no literary merit or cultural value, and the
community they presutne to serve would be at least as well off without
them
What makes the announkement of the new Detroit Jewish News a
matter of interest, hi the asasirance of Its publishers that it intends to
serve the entire Jewish community of the Detroit area without bias or
partisanship; that its purpose will be to deal with Jewish news objec-
tively; that Its allotment of space will not be measured by the orthodoxy,
the conservation or the reform views of its contributors, but that every
worthy Jewish cause will be presented with absolute fairness to the
reader.
The proved ability of Mr. Slontovitz as an editorial writer and the
representative names of thoiw who are to constitute his advisors augur
well for the character and the calibre of the new paper. If it lives; up
to Its possibilltie-t, as we have every reason to believe it will, Jewry
in Detroit will have a new and worthy mouthpiece. Under such circum-
stances I sincerely hope that the sponsors of the Jewish News may gain
the co-operation of Jews of every shade of religious opinion, and thus
be assured of genuine success.
