The .Tewish women of Detroit have long been noted for their Yiddish stage and on the radio,
devotion to the needs of their . fellowmen. In their wholehearted
support of the 1947 Allied Jewish Caampaign, they have once again
given a stirring _demonstration of the -communal awareness and
social initiative which earn them the rightful respect of the rest
of the community.
Their , contributions, given from their household allowances,

or personal funds, were in many cases made at great sacrifice, be-
cause Jewish wives and mothers have realized that 1947 is a year
of decision for Jews throughout the world.
This year the crisis in the lives of the Jewish survivors has
brought more than 1,500 women into the drive, as chairmen, captains

and workers. New needs brought new challenges and the Women's
Division redoubled all past efforts in iaising a sum larger than

170,000. Jewish child survivors in Europe. More than 35,000 of
them are -orphans. Still confined to DP 'camps are 26,000 Jewish

children. Undernourished, ill and mentally exhausted, these young-
sters have been getting barely enough food to live on, much less to
recover their strength.
These children are the pride - and the hope of Judaism. They can
be the core of a healthy and creative generation which will re-
kindle Jewish life -in the wake of the greatest tragedy in modern
history. Their fate is in the hands of this community, whose con-

It outlines the standard of agri-

He disagreed with Viscount
Samuel's contention that Jews
should be admitted to Palestine
under all circumstances. He de-
nounced as criminals those per-
sons responsible for fostering
"illegal immigration" and called
upon "the moderate Jews and
Arabs" to assert themselves. He

The First Lord of the Admir-

paign "to raise ;30,000,000 in the
United States for encouraging il-

guns" and for "openly advocating
the support,of the terrorists who
are shooting down British sol-
diers." On, the other hand, he
admitted that during recent
months the Jewish Agency has
done much to cooperate with the
British authorities in Palestine
and that it has denounced ter-
torism. However, he claimed that
e Haganah could do more to

it does.
