A Discussion of the Ob-
jectives of the $2,000,-
000 Drive

By ,ABE KASLE
President United Hebrew
Schools of Detroit

The $2,000,000 which Detroit is
asked to raise for the United
Jewish Appeal will not supply
the barest necessities for our
people overseas.
All of us should be thankful
for the privilege of living in this
country. We should be thankful
not with words alone but with
honorable deeds. We should be
thankful that we and our parents
were fortunate not to miss the
good ships which brought us to
free America which offers oppor-
tunities for all.
There are 5,000,000 Jews in the
United States. More than that
number lost their . lives. Had we
and our parents missed that boat,
our fate would have been differ-
ent. Call it fate, luck or accident
—here we are.
There are approximately a mil-
lion and a quarter surviving Jews
in Europe.
Is it too much to ask that each
family of four should presume
that it has an invisible guest for
whom it must provide a roof
over his head, clothing for his
body, medicine and food, to help
him rebuild his broken body and
tortured soul? What would WE
expect of the Jews of America
if WE were among the survivors?
Even if we were to relinquish
all our possessions, we would not
be making much of a sacrifice.
I cannot see, therefore, why
we are out to raise only $2,000,-
000. Actually we should set out
to raise four or five million dol-
lars in the Allied Jewish Cam-
paign, as part of our share in
the , $100,000,000 United Jewish
Appeal. Even such a sum would
provide the barest necessities for
our people abroad.
