Call to Youth

By MAYER BEN ZION

Thpusands of American Jewish
youth have joined the ranks - of
Zionist youth. Hundreds of De-
troit Jewish youth have done so.
Their numbers are continually
growing.
The reasons are understand-
able. Both the approach and
content of Zionism are romantic
and practical, ieaiistic and real-
istic. Its program is challenging.
it offers dynamic social and per-
sonal stimulation and ° broad,
provocative activities. Most in-
spiring of all, Zionism affords
Jewish youth positive, concrete
action in the great struggle
Which is surely theirs—the crea-
tion of a Jewish Commonwealth
m Palestine. •
In the rebuilt Jewish Home-
land, Jewish literature, art,
science, music, ritual. social or-
ganization, philosophy and ethics
were regenerated and reinvigor-
ated.
The Nati q.nal Young Zionist
Action Committee anti its local
groups- have done the following
in political action:

1. After June 29, 1946, leaflets were
passed and street corner meetings held
to protest British terrorism.
2. Mass petitioning of the Demo-
cratic National Committee.
3. Circulation of the anti-terrorist
pamphlet "Terrorism and Palestine."
4. Street corner meetings to protest
American inactivity.
5. A Palestine Zouth Conference was
sponsored.
.
.
6. Picketing the British Consulates
and spreading anti-British stickers.
7. Circulation of anti-British loan
leaflets.
8. Circulation of material aaginst
the terrorist front.

Further aims of YZAC are:
i. To educate American Jewish

youth for personal identificatibil with
the action for Zionism'
2. To influence American and world
opinion to support and act for Zion-
ism; and
3. To bring young people into con-
tact with existing Zionist youth
groups in which they can find positive
media of expression.

Join in the struggle for the re-
demption and regeneration of the
Jewish people!
Help rebuild a free Palestine
for a free Jewish people!

etc., about the Zionist youth move-
ments in Detroit, call TO. 7-5318 be-
tween 2 and 5 p. m. all weekdays.)
