The Children Who Never Smile In the war-torn countries of Central and Eastern Europe are hundreds of thousands of unfortunate children, who have not smiled since they were born. Three hundred thousand Jewish war orphans in the Ukraine, in Poland, Hungary, Czecho-Slovakia, and only God knows how many in Russia—children who were born in the misery of war and who now live in the misery of war's aftermath, are being taken away by the thousands, innocent, helpless, unresisting victims of disease and starvation. , These hungry, unclothed, shelterless kiddies, lean, wan and sad, have never known the joys of comfort and play. They have no fathers or mothers—war, hunger and disease have given them over to the Grim Reaper. It is for these children that the American Jewish Relief Committee appeals to the American people for help. May the children of America never know such misery as has befallen those of Europe. May American fathers and American mothers never know the terror which reigns in those weary, war-torn lands. And may they in gratitude for their own well-being extend the helping hand to those unfortunates, to whom America has ever been the blessed land, where opportunity and liberty have ever reigned, and from whose heart has ever gone forth sympathy and encourage- ment to those in need. May I urge your response, in the form of a contribution, to the American Jewish Relief Committee, 103 Park Avenue, New York City. Sincerely yours, ‘Nathan Straus (The Committee acknowledges with thanks the contribution of this space by the publishers ) i | comicbooks.com
