United Action on the Boycott.
The Jewish Layman, organ of the Na-
tional Federation of Temple Brotherhoods,
in its current issue carries an important
statement which appears under the head-
ing "The N. F. 'I'. B. Calk for L'Ilited Ac-
tion on the German Boycott." Signed by
Samuel B. Finkel. president, and Arthur I,.
Reinhart. executive secretary, of the na-
organization, this statement de-
tional
clares:

For the past many months. all lovers of
human justice have joined in the mighty pro.
test against the barbarous and inhuman treat
ment accorded to our brethren in Germany.
We have repeatedly indulged in the hope that
the volume of protest voiced by all right.
thinking people would make itself felt, and
that those in authority in Germany would
relent and accord decent and humane treat•
ment to the Jew. within its borders.
It has now become apparent that the present
German government has no intention willingly
to ■ bate from its warfare against the Jew,
and it has become increasingly necessary that
something be done to defend our people ef-
fectively and bring Germany to an understand-
ing of the enormity of its offense against a
helpless people.
The executive hoard of the National Federa-
tion of Temple Brotherhood., in meeting as-
sembled on Oct. 29, 1933, does hereby record
its earnest hope that its constituent members
abstain from purchasing any merchandise sold
or offered for sale, which has its origin in
Germany. Fully appreciating the gravity of
such a step, we feel. nevertheless, that the
situation in Germany is fraught with so much
peril to Germany's Jewish inhabitants as to
make this step absolutely essential, in the pro-
gram to bring the present German govern-
ment to its lenses, a'd we do hereby urge our
membership to show their sympathy with their
co-religionists by refusing to purchase German
goods until such time as the German govern-
ment agrees to abandon the persecution in
which it is engaged.

Fighting Anti-Semitism.

What methods should Jews resort to in
fighting anti-Semitism? Is it wise to make
an issue of every symptom of Jew-hatred?
Is it advisable to ignore and at times ridi-
cule, or should we always assume it mili-
tant attitude?
A. II. Fromenson. prominent Jewish
writer and publicity man, warns against
the danger of being too passive, of waiting
until it is too late, and he points to "the
truth of Max NordatCs aphorism that the
Jews learn from catastrophe and not from
experience,'" in sounding his warning.
But there is another side to the question
whether we ought always to make an issue
of even' anti-Semitic occurrence, and
whether in the long run such a course
would react damagingly to the Jewish
people,
In the first place, we have not the right
to relinquish ridicule as a method of attack
upon anti Semitism. Under no circum-
stances must we lose our sense of humor,
and certainly not our sense for balanced
practical action. Should we yield to hys-
teria and sacrifice that power which en-
ables us to ridicule while we attack. we
may be doomed—not only because of what
is happening in Germany, but also because
