Stressing that the government of liberated Europe “have been unable to cope with the anti-Semitism planted and cultivated by the Nazis,” Henry Morganthan, Jr., former Secretary of the Treasury, declared today in a nationwide radio address on behalf of the United Jewish Appeal that “the foundations of the structure of the world of tomorrow will be as sound as its provisions for homeless and oppressed minorities.”
Mr. Morganthan, pointing out that “human beings are still dying of starvation” one year after liberation, stated that “the problem of saving the remnants of European Jewry is one of the most urgent questions facing the architects of the new world.” Though a year has clasped since the armies have left the battlefield, he said, millions of broken human beings are “desperately seeking to defend themselves against the forces of hunger, disband, homelessness and hats.”
