spiritual life of the American-born Jew. 'Whether we
wish it or not the Yiddish paper will of necessity be-
come less influential and important because the num-
ber of its readers must decrease with the reduced im-
migration of readers of Yiddish. The American Jew-
ish press must keep before its readers those matters of
peculiar Jewish interest which will intensify their Jew-
ish consciousness and interest.
The American Jewish press must relate the past to
the present-day American Jew so that he will ever
realize that he is a better American in the degree that
he is a better Jew.
If by chance there appears to be an over-emphasis
in the English-Jewish press concerning matters which
affect European Jewry, that arises from no desire to
stress European affairs at the expense of American
Jewish affairs but from the fact that the problems of
European Jewry are insistent, numerous and difficult.
These problems compel us willy-nilly to realize that
all is not well with our people and brings us more in-
timately together in the joint undertakings of Jewry.
Just as Judge Lehman feels certain that the Jewish
social center will not be behindhand, we have the same
conviction that the American Jewish press will make
its contribution to the creation of a better Jewry and
a better Americanism.
