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.
