GUEST EDITORIAL
The Good Neighbor
By ABRAHAM SRERE
Chairman, • Board of Governors, Jewish Welfare
Federatiim of Detroit
The nations and peoples of the world have achieved a
high degree of understanding and unity of purpose in the
prosecution of the war against Germany and Japan. On the
battlefields and on the home fronts of the United Nations a
unanimity of spirit has brought us hopefully
to the - threshold of victory. In. 'fighting the
common enemy everyone has been quick to
recognize that science has sharply reduced
space and distance and that 411 are neighbors
engaged in a struggle for free,dom. Now we
are about to face the problem of maintaining
that same spirit of unity and fellowship in
the period of conversion from war to peace.
A. Srere _

The City of Detroit has a unique. oppor-
tunity to demonstrate that, as in the period of crucial war
need, its citizens, regardless of race, creed or color are good
neighbors working together for a common goal of brother-
hood and communal well being. That opportunity can and
must be fulfilled through the forthcoming campaign of the
War Chest of Metropolitan Detroit.
The War Chest will seek to raise funds for the Detroit
Community Fund, the -Allied Jewish Campaign and twenty-
two Agar relief and war-related agencies at home and abroad,
approved by the National War Fund. The wide range of t
locial, welfare,. • relief and war-connected services which are
to be supported by the War Chest is a concrete manifestation
of a united community, working and giving together for the
causes without which the , war for the preservation of human
liberty would have little meaning.
Not only the men and women across the: street, but the
men and women across the oceans must be regarded as our
neighbors. The war has demonstrated that their fate and
ours are inseparably intertwined. The approach of victory
has already indicated that the new era of peace and brother-
hood either in our own community or in the world at .large
will rest on insecure foundations if elements within our own
city, or peoples in other parts .of the world are not given
every opportunity for sharing in the blessialgs of that new era.
The Jews of Detroit will readily understand that through
their participation in the War Chest they are not only making
possible continued aid to their fellow-Jews in Europe, Pal-
estine and elsewhere, and adequate support for the Russian,
French, British, Dutch, Chinese and other Allied peoples but
that they are also carrying. out -in the highest tradition of
American democracy the duties and responsibilities of citizen-
ship when united action and joint planning are required to
meet the stresses and strains of the greatest period of transi-
tion in modern history.
