Sobeloff's Guest Editorial

(Continued from Page 1)

For the three great rescue organizations, which it

supports—the Joint Distribution Committee, United Pal-
estine Appeal and National Refugee Service—are all en-
gaged in offering aid and succor to enemies of aggression

and champions of freedom. The Jewish people were the
first to suffer from totalitarian tyranny. We are the most
intense sufferers today. And, as always, we are among
the chief fighters against the barbarian wave that threat-
ens to engulf us all.
In the light of the lesson we have now all learned:
one for all and all for one in the common struggle for
democracy and civilization, the rescue work maintained
by the Allied Jewish Campaign becomes doubly signifi-
cant. Its major beneficiary agencies have long been aiding
the cause of democracy, and now that America is' at
war, they have a major function in the war effort. That
function is to help keep alive the flames of civilization

to the defense of which we have dedicated our lives, and

to supply aid to Jewish fighters for civilization anywhere.
Thus the cause of the Allied Jewish Campaign is
not simply a Jewish cause, it is an American cause, a
democratic cause, humanity's cause. But in this common
battle we, the Jews of Detroit, must assume the responsi-
bility for this cause. Every nation and every people has
its special, responsibility in this unified struggle, in addi-
tion to the common effort. To aid their distressed people
is the special responsibility of the Jews of America. We
are doing all in our power to help our country in the
present crisis. Our sons are in the front lines, our daugh-
ters are in the auxiliary services, and we, ourselves, in
office and factory and everywhere on the home front
are not for an instant shirking our duties as patriotic
Americans. But remember that nothing short of total
mobilization will do. And total mobilization means not
only intensified war activity on our part but also increas-
ing the'flow of supplies to our allies. It is the job of the
Jews- in America to maintain the supply lines of aid to
suffering world Jewry. It is the job we must do not only
as Jews but as American patriots and humanitarians. It
is the job the world looks to us to carry out.
The United Jewish Appeal is the single, unifier, in-
strumentality through which we can make available the
necessary material resources for the parrying out of this
all-important job. Its three agencies are engaged in wide-
spread emergency campaigns to do this job : to provide
the means of sustenance to victims of Fascist persecution
overseas ; to support the heroic defenders of that ancient
stronghold of democracy, the Jewish homeland in Pales-
tine ; to afford the means of speedy adjustment to refugees
in the Americas who are eager to contribute to the com-
mon defense of civilization.
The Federation idea of a 'united community working
together for 55 essential services,—local, national and
overseas—also faces a new challenge which we must
meet. Every human need, at home and abroad, every
type of common service,—culture, education, relief, self-
defense, a sound community structure—pleads for in-
creased assistance through the Allied Jewish Campaign.
The whole nation and the whole democratic world
is now mobilized for victory in a spirit of unprecedented
unity and grim determination. In the worldwide chain of
democratic defense there is one vital link, the support
and maintenance of which is our special responsibility.
That link is the Jew throughout the world, who, wherever
he may be, persecuted and in distress, takes part body
and spirit in the defense of civilization against barbarian
hosts that threaten all of us with destruction.
The continuation and redoubling of support to that
vital link of democracy to our people everywhere, is en-
tirely dependent upon our all-out support of the 1942
Allied Jewish Campaign. Our support in this emergency

campaign is basic to the common struggle, just as is our

support of the war effort in our country. We must not
shirk any part of our patriotic duty. At this crucial
moment we must fulfill our responsibility to our people,
to ourselves and our children, to our country and to demo-
cratic humanity which expects of us nothing but our

utmost. The democratic world knows it will not be let

down.
