Rabbis Urge Jews
To Do Utmost for
New Liberty Loan

to do his duty at this time, "when our
civilization is tottering,' by subscrib-
ing up to the hilt to the third Liberty
Loan has been sent out under the
signature of eight leading rabbis. The
call for unstinted loyalty from the
Jews is one of the moves of the Ma
tlonal Security League to line up the
various units of the national life pow
erfully behind the forthcoming off en-
sive for patriotic dollars, The appeal
reads:
lat this moment, when our civilza-
tion is tottcring and when our coun-
try is bending every effort to annih-
late the forces of evil and to re
establish world democracy. it is in
cumbcnt upon every Jew TO aid with
every means the efforts made by our
country to win this great struggle.
which viii bring about a new freedom
for the world. The Jew mas always
been a fighter for ideals. and no more
idealistic work than TO AID in the
present struggle can be found.
"The third Liberty Loan is about to
be launched and We urge every jew
to do his utmost, as in the case Of
the first two loans, and respond lib
orally to the country's appeal"
