Liberation: Still a Promise for
1,400,000 European Jewish Survivors Mar. 15 to Apr. 15
By JUDGE WILLIAM FRIEDMAN
President, Jewish Welfare Federation of Detroit
There are men and women and children in Europe for
whom liberation is still something that lies ahead, some-
thing that remains to be achieved. Freed from concentra-
tion camps, from forced labor, from the threat of death .
in Nazi gas chambers, they were filled with great hopes and
glorious expectations.
But today, ten months after the military - defeat of
Hitler's armies, these people, these 1,400,000 Jewish sur-
vivors, these first and most bitterly attacked
victims of Nazism, do not have the real
things that mean liberation.
Liberation! Liberation for what? Liber-
ation to starve? To go without clothes and
shoes? To continue to live in crowded
camps?, To go on day after day and month
after month without useful, constructive
work, without hope, without a feeling of
belonging, of having roots?
No Liberation will be an empty word for
Wm. Friedman the stricken Jews of Europe until they have
food, clothing, shelter, security. These are the things that
our Jewish brothers in Europe do not have. Nor will they
have these things until and unless we, the Jews of America,
give them to our people in Europe.
That is the meaning of. the $2,000,000 Allied Jewish Cam-
paign of Detroit. Our campaign, part of the nation-wide
$100,000,000 campaign of the United Jewish Appeal, means
real liberation for the Jewish survivors in Europe.
It is in that spirit of working fOr the liberation of our
people that we begin the organization of the Allied Jewish
Campaign. It is in that spirit that we must do everything
humanly possible in our Service Groups, our organizations,
and as individuals to reach our goal of $2,000,000. It is in
that spirit that we must undertake the day-to-day work
of the campaign, that we must attend organizational meet-
ings, that v,Te must do the necessary telephoning, the con-
tact work, the carrying out of concrete responsibilities that
will determine the success of the campaign.
This is no time for vague generalities. This is the time
for us to do the real work that will bring real liberation to
our people. That is the simple, direct answer to a vast,
complex problem of human suffering: - Our work, our giving
of time and effort in the weeks ahead will determine the
future of a people, our own Jewish people, for gerierations
to come.

JERUSALEM (JTA) — The
Palestine Government this week
announced the allocation of 1,600
immigration certificates for the
period March 15 - April 15. Of
these, 1,500 will be assigned to
Jews.
Two American engineers, John
L. Savage, designer of the Grand
Coulee and Boulder Dams, and
James B. Hays, formerly with
the TVA and chief engineer for
the Commission for Palestine
Surveys, told the Anglo-Ameri-
can inquiry committee at a closed
session last Friday that the use
of the Jordan River waters for
irrigation and generation of elec-
tric power would add at least
1,500,000 people to the absorptiv-
ity of Palestine, it was disclosed
here today.
Savage told a press conference
that realization of the "Lowder-
milk Plan" would annually add
to Palestine's economic wealth
a sum equal to the entire cost
of the project — approximately
$250,000,000.
