Henry Morgenthau. Jr., who last week announced his
acceptance of the general chairman . ship of the 1947 United
Jewish Appeal, will come to Detroit on Saturday. Jan. 25. to
confer with the Board of Governors of the Jewish Welfare
Federation and other Detroit Jewish leaders. regarding De-
troit's responsibility in the drive for $170,000,000 for overseas
relief.
Mr. Morgenthu's visit to Detroit is one of the first illustra-
tions of his declared "firm resolve to be in active leadership"
of the UJA. "Being acquainted with the responsibilities and
functions of governments and government agencies; know-
ing what Is contemplated in the year ahead by way of assist-
ance from public sources," he said, upon accepting the chair-
manship, "I cannot too emphatically state that humanity and
brotherhood require that the program of raising $170,000,000
for the United Jewish Appeal must be met. America has never
failed the unfortunate. It may be counted upon to show its
great, generous.heart in 1947.
"In 1947 a task of far greater magnitude is before us. The
United Jewish Appeal has been asked to raise $170,000,000. It
is a goal which can and will be reached by a united com-
munity, resolved that those whom we saved from destruction
in 1946 shall be kept alive, physically and spiritually, until
the world rekindles hope for them and gives them the oppor-
tunity, with all men, to live lives of their own choosing in
lands of' their own choice."
