GUEST EDITORIAL
Last September William A. Keenan, an ex-Army engi
neer who was living in Port Washington, N. Y., began to
worry about the atom bomb. Packing his family and furni
ture in a car and small truck, he headed for the wide open
spaces. The Keenan caravan ended up in a tiny Montana
village called Dc Borgia where, with the help of several
hospitable neighbors, they settled permanently. Bill
Keenan no longer worries about being a potential atom
bomb target.
That’s one way to deal with the threat that over
shadows our future; but it’s not practical for most of us.
The answer to the atom bomb is not decentralization of
cities. Vast industrial and urban areas of our country just
can’t be moved. The only real answer is to stop war itself.
Right now, as the United Nations General Assembly
reopens its sessions in Lake Success, N. Y., Americans ev
erywhere are celebrating United Nations Week. Heading
the slogan, “There’s a IJ in the United Nations,” all of us are
ready to help wipe out the economic, social and political
conditions that lead to war. We realize that, at the present
time, the economic factor outweighs all the ohers. Living
on starvation diets and in bomb-shattered homes, Europe s
millions may soon be ready to join any extremist leader,
fascist or commnunist, who promises food and jobs.
Here—in the hunger and despair of these people—lies
the real threat of war in the world today.
That is why our country is mustering its great resources
to help the United Nations rebuild the world’s economy.
As Secretary Marshall has said, “Our policy is directed not
against any country or doctrine, but against hunger, pov
erty. desperation and chaos.”
‘ Without hesitation, the factories and farmlands of the
U.S.A. arc shifting into high gear, just as they did during
the war. And, just as in the war, the full cooperation of
every American is needed to see the job through. That
moans every American, no matter what his color or creed.
Whenever any man is refused employment because of his
race or religion, where talents are wasted and incentive
discouraged, productive efficiency suffers.
By now it is a truism that the United Nations depends,
(in a large measure, on our material and moral support. Only
by eliminating all the tensions and conflicts that create dis
unity, only by releasing to the full our typically American
spirit of teamwork, can we hope to be the tower of strength,
the force for lasting peace, so sorely needed in the world
today.
The New Year 5708
GUEST EDITORIAL
The coming of 5708 brings world Jewry to the begin
ning of another now year in a period of history when
centuries of misery and tragedy have crowded into decades.
The years of Hitler persecution and the destruction of war
are over. But the Jewish people are still in the throes of
suffering and homelessness.
As wo say, “May we be inscribed for a good year,” we
cannot help but feel that the world has let us down. It is
difficult to believe that Cyprus and Exodus-1947 could oc
cur more than two years after the end of the war. It is in
credible to see how the year 5707 could bring a reduction
in governmental help at a time when Jewish homelessness
was on the increase. The events of 5707 lead us to the sad
conclusion that the world as a whole would prefer to forget
about the Jews who survived in Europe. We sustained many
disappointments on the international stage in 5707. The
only solid foundation of hope was the recognition by the
• Jews of America that they were the guardians of the fate
of their people. This was dramatically illustrated by the
extraordinary response to the $170,000,000 campaign of the
United Jewish Appeal. Another event in the credit side
was the emergence of Henry Morgenthau, Jr., General
Chairman of the U. J. A., as one of the most dynamic and
dedicated leaders in the survival of the Jewish people.
As we enter the year 5708 we once again hope for a new
and brighter chapter in Jewish life. But the crisis that have
recently developed a sense of frustration and lack of confi
dence in world action place a challenge of new proportions
at the door of the Jews of America. To focus national
attention at this time on the United Jewish Appeal the High
Holiday period has been designated as “Ten Days of Re
membrance"—remembrance of the great losses in life
brought on by Nazi devastation—remembrance of the fail
ure of the world’s conscience to react to this incomprehansi-
ble tragedy—remembrance of the obligations we have as
the bulwark of hope and reconstruction for our fellow Jews
in Europe, in Palestine and in the United States.
During the High Holiday services we place a great deal
of emphasis on the question of “who shall live and who
shall die.” In the present Jewish situation, we are vested
with alomst divine powers in determining the question of
life and death for the Jews who are still in DP camps, still
without home, still without the means to regain a place of
dignity in the world. If the new year is to be a promise of
redemption for our long-oppressed people, every Jew in the
United States must dedicate himself with spiritual fervor
to the task of assuring the success of the $170,000,000 United
Jewish Appeal. In that way we can, with heads erect, say
‘’Happy New Year” to our brothers throughout the world.
