This Man Retires In Comfort
Some call him lucky. He himself maintains to
simply a case of sound finance.
Thirty years ago he decided he must make sure of an
income in the years when his earning power would
decline. Speculation, he knew, could guarantee him
nothing. So he sought out the plan which would
guarantee him cash on retirement to provide needed
income. Ile purchaser a GREAT-WEST Pension Policy.
Through four depressions with their intervening per-
iods of prosperity he stuck steadfastly to his plan.
Financial panics brought him no worry whatever.
Boom periods left him with no regrets.
This year, at age 65, this man retires in comfort.
He has a guaranteed income as long as he lives. We
want you to learn all the advantages of this GREAT-
WEST Pension Policy. Send for particulars now. No
obligation.

established and societies and organizations and
recognized fund-raising foundations, which have,
for better and for worse, been integrated into
the communal affairs of Jewry.
IV
In a time of crisis, when we are facing a com-
mon enemy, even internal and necessary criticism
is withheld and that accounts for the silence, in
more than one quarter, that is well nigh unbear-
able. Both the American Jewish Committee and
the American Jewish Congress have for many +.
months been spared from attack. It was hard
to say which deserved criticism more, but there
was certainly too much silence and caution on
one side and too much noise and ballyhoo on
the other. Even Dr. Margoshes (in The Day of
July IS) said that the mass meetings and par-
ades had gone far enough and that now some-
to be that
thing else had to be done. What was
something else? Presumably it was Geneva. If
you think that was an improvement, dear reader,
please let me know. However, wisely or un-
wisely, we curb our criticism in time of a crisis,
and that raises the question of whether Dr. Wald-
man, the secretary of the American Jewish Com-
mittee, should have come out with the statement,
in re: The Geneva Conference.
He was, of course, exposing to the world the
dimension that prevails in Jewry. -After the
very unfortunate headlines about the so-called
super government, anyone disowning the Confer-
ence was also running the danger of leaving the
implication that there was some meaning in these
extravagant headlines. Dr. Waldman and his
associates probably did net want to risk letting
the impression go forth that Geneva represented
all Jewry, and presumably acted from the point
of view of the boycott, which he and his friends
disapprove, and from other considerations. In
any event many people thought that Dr. Wald-
man's •ls. statement was one too many. Others
asked why the American Jewish Committee did
not anticipate, forestall, and endeavor to modify
the Geneva plan. Why did it not take a more
positive stand relative to the whole situation?
Why does it nearly always excel in an attitude
neastion? Anyway. Dr. Waldman pricked
the bubble of the fictitious Joint Consultative
Committee. Perhaps now, some people who can
afford to speak (and are as silent as graveyards)
will start something to create honest-to-goodness
cooperation between the several groups of Jewry
attempting to deal with the Problems relating to
the full rights of our people.
V
Mr. Untermyer, too, was bringing our differ-
ences out in the open. But in the first place he
was dealing with the more restricted subject of
the boycott and In the second place he was put-
ting in • claim for credit to non-Jewish support-
ers, which was quite proper. The conference
intended to promote and actually did give new
impetus to the boycott on German goods and
services. But no meeting, not even three thou-
sand miles away, should attempt to discuss the
boycott without reckoning with the man who put
the boycott across. You can always leave it to
him to make his point and get his message over.
In a cablegram that was devastatingly polite, he
told the American Jewish Congress that it
blocked and delayed the boycott for six months.
And Geneva, without the program and with in-
sufficient work for the Conference, received the
blast as • boon and proceeded solemnly to the
labors of preparing and sending ■ thoroughly
foolish reply.
But, in spite of everything, the boycott gained
strength through the Conference. The pity is
that the harrowed and sorrow-laden refugees
from Germany had to be brought within She
range of more or less general denunciation. With
the exiles seeking to recover their belongings out
of the wreckage of their lives, Palestine does
represent • very special situation and the wide-
frontal boycott attack is not broken by the de-
plorable yet extenuating circumstances that sur-
round the desperate escape of Jews from Nazi-
dom. If those who led the boycott from the
beginning did not make an issue of this extra-
ordinary situation, all others could afford to lease
it alone. But then It does not seem to have been
part of the theory of the Genera Conference
to leave any questions alone.
