GOOD WILL For those who missed the Williamstown Institute of Hu- man Relations held last summer under the auspices of the Na- tional Conference of Jews and Christians, Willet, Clark & Co. has done a great service by publishing in book form the most significant discussions of the Catholic, a Protestant and Jewish thinkers and leaders who participated in that unique meeting. With frankness and clarity, the differing viewpoints on how Protestants, Jews and Catholics may maintain their individual cultural and religious differences and yet live in peace and harmony as good neighbors'-in America are pre- sented in clear language by men whose vision and breadth of thought fits the mideally to deal with the problems of hu- man relations among the var- ious religious groups in this country. The give and take that characterizes the discus- sions, the terse analysis of fac- tors making for tension or for harmony and the clear cut at- tempt to deal with social facts honestly make this volume per- haps the most valuable single work on what has come to be known as the good will move- ment. Of similar importance in the same field are two chap- ters in "Youth's Work in the New World." by T. Otto Nall (Association Press), a meaty vocational and prof e s s i onal guide for modern youth writ- ten in the form of inspirational interviews with 28 eminent au- thorities, each of whom have stained success in their chosen field. To youth interested in breaking down racial and reli- gious prejudice, the chapters on Marching Toward Brotherhood, by Rabbi Abbe Hillel Silver and The Plus Problems of Negro YOuth by JaMes Weldon John- son are particularly pertinent. Although the author concedes that this is hardly regarded as a separate vocation,• the need for more people to give their lives to this important work is growing and hence the opinions of Dr. Silver and Mr. Johnson open valuable perspectives. This book should be • welcome guide to perplexed youth in a changing social order. (Copyright. 1174. B. A F GLUCKSMAN AGAIN HEADS CONFERENCE (CONCLUDED FROM PAGE.

Soltes. Negative Actions One of the most significant fea- tures of the conference was the session inquiring into relationships between Jewish social service agen- cies,and federations and their in - ployes. Dr. Maurice Taylor of Bos- ton criticized the use of trade union tactics by organized em- ployes of Jewish organizations, particularly inn New York 5liss Mollie Pearl of Brooklyn, former chairman of one of these organi- zations, declared that "we do not make a fetish of any tactic" but insisted the trade union tactics would continue when arbitranon broke down. Harry L. Lurie, di- rector of the National Council of Jewish Federations and Welf,tre Funds, declared that "we might as well acknowledge organization of those social workers as a fait ac- compli." Ile urged board members to be more willing to negotiate with organized social workers and said he saw no harm in allowing them participation in deliberations concerning employe relationship-. Dr. Solomon Lowenstein, had of the New York Federation, and David L. Podell, member of the board of the N. Y.

To add him and an addi- tional American Zionist to the Council would mean that practi- cally 90 per cent of the new body would be Zionist or pro-Zionist. The undisputed fact is that the entire British section of the new council, including even the non- partisan chairman, Sir Herbert Samuel, is strongly pro-Zionist. Should yet the Zionist personnel of the American side be strength- ened, the new Council might as well be another Zionist body created for the special purpose of diverting German refugees to Palestine. This may, or may not be a purpose worth while :n it- self, but it is certainly not the original purpose of the Council for the Relief of German Jews. A still greater divergence of opinion has arisen over the sec- ond proposal of the British Jews that the first funds collected in the four-year drive should be di- verted to colonization in Pales- tine. Dr. Weizmann's %pecific de- mand on this point was for a sum of $1,000,000 for the settlement of 20,000 Jewish pioneers from Germany. The American objec- tions to this demand are not to be construed as an objection to this plan, admirable in itself, but to the nse of the first funds col- lected by the Joint Distribution Committee, ■ non-Zionist body, for an exclusively Zionist purpose.
