Excerpts from an address by General of the Army Dwight D. Eisenhower, Army Chief of =~ Staff, at the National Conference of the United [Jewish Appeal held in Washington, D.-C.
Although the task you have undertaken is vast in terms of material values, even the greatness of your goal and the depth of compassion it evidences, do not stand as the most significant feature of your concerted effort. Its deepest implication is in its eloquent protest against man’s inhumanity to man.
When you seek by material sacrifice to rescue the innocent victims of savagery, you give much more than the contents of your purse. You give a demonstration of men united in mercy toward the stricken, an example that invites the world to renew with increased zeal the struggle against injustice, persecution and slavery. Your success will add impetus to the moral regeneration needed to banish from the world these evils that have darkened the way to peace among men.
The spirit of charity, among the most sublime of human emotions, in itself stamps your project as one conceived in the noblest traditions,
Here, Indeed, is need for charity. Only one who has seen, as I have, the mental and physical effects of savagery, repression and bigotry upon the persecuted of Europe, can realize the full need for the fnaterial help and encouragement you propose to give. The terrors they have endured, the indescribable horrors they have survived, cry aloud to all men who retain within themselves any Fespect for decency, any belief in the human soul.
There is no word that can exaggerate the urgency. We must believe that man labors toward better things, that global action, creakingly and laboriously evolved-by nations amidst human conflicts engendered by prejudice, ignorance, misunderstanding and distrust, will eventually eliminate recurrence of the tragedies you attempt to alleviate. But acute disaster cannot await the functioning of vast machinery that has not, as yet, wholly emerged from the design stage. Charity can do much to fill the breach—it can bring
some brightness to these survivors of cruelty. It can lift them some- .
what above the level of mere existence, the limit that perforce controls governmental effort. t \
More than material aid is needed for those in Europe who have felt the lash of brutal tyrants.
Long fettered in the deepest pit of despair, they now need warmth and encouragement from fellow humans that their confidence can be restored. You can enable them to march in confidence and in dignity toward that day when, in common with all others, the opportunities provided by the richness of the earth may be enjoyed also by them.
No matter how we may answer the question “Am my brother’ s keeper?”, the implications of that question have such ifiescapable
effects on the effort to o produce w world order, that the ye
provide may w ell bear fruit in the attack on world problems of un- — limited scope. Possibly it may: help us realize that there can be no security for one unless it is enjoyed by all; that though force can protect in emergency, only justice, fairness, consideration and cooperation can finally lead men to the dawn of eternal peace. Certainly your example should help us see that enlightened self-interest - demands the elimination of the unfair practices against large seg-

y Humanitarianism is a link
that binds together all Americans.
As great as is our love of freedom, equally great is the American feeling of compassion for those in distress. Whenever tragedy or disaster has struck in any corner of the world, the American people has promptly and generously extended its hand of mercy and help. Generosity has never impoverished the giver; it has enriched the lives of those who have practised it.
