GUEST EDITORIAL
Jewish Needs and War Chest
By HENRY WINEMAN
Member of Executive Committees of Jewish Welfare Federation
of Detroit and War Chest of Metropolitan Detroit
As we take our place in the War Chest campaign, we
must recognize one basic fact, that it embraces many
phases of the world problem which will have a direct
effect on our communal thinking. In past campaigns we
have been concerned with the Jewish
problem without pausing to establish its
relationship to the world struggle for
freedom. The War Chest has changed all

forces that are holding the battlefront
for civilization.

broader aspects of the programs and
needs involved. Our primary concern has Henry Wineman

of their relationship to the future of the Jewish people*

that the Jews were the first casualties in Hitler's war on
democracy. Nor is it necessary to repeat that wherever a
Jew is helped to survive Nazi oppression the forces of
freedom are strengthened. It certainly is not necessary to
demonstrate that our campaign is an integral part of the
prosecution of the war. That has been made obvious in a
dramatic manner by the establig}, Tna-, t of the War Chest,
