purpose and harmony of spirit.
Far from attempting to bring
dissension and cleavage into
the-life of the American Jew-
ish community, there was every
evidence of a deep and honest
desire to produce strong and
lasting unity. Despite provo-
cation which might have justi-
fied bitter words and angry
mood, there was a remarkable .
exhibition of statesman-like re-
straint and self-control, both in
the leadership and in the fol-
lowing. By an unanimously
adopted resolution at the open-
ing session, the American Jew-
ish Committee was permitted
to distribute its opposition lit-
erature among the delegates to
the American Jewish Congress
and before the final session was

viously extended to the Ameri-

THE LEGAL CH ONICLE

Greeting the guests at his home, Mr. Aronsson called
the work accomplished by the devoted group of leaders
"a credit to the Jewish community."
Mr. Srere saw great promise for future Jewish ef-
forts in Detroit as a result of the linking of the activities
of new leaders like Sidney Allen and the veteran Federa-
tion leadership as represented by Mr. Aronsson.
'A report of the progress made by the group in the
special project to secure the campaign shortage was read
by Miss Esther Prussian, secretary of the Detroit Service
Group, who, with Mrs. Aronsson and Mrs. Ehrlich, were
the only women present at the gathering.
The report as submitted by Miss Prussian showed the
following on the honor roll of the campaign leaders who
were responsible for boosting the campaign quota by
$19,000:

Harold Allen, Sidney J. Allen, Maurice Arons-
son, Morton Aahner, Irving Blumberg, Louis Blum-
berg, A. J. Blumenau, Nathan Bonin, Fred M.
Butzel, Maurice J. Kaplan, Harry Cohen, Anthony
Deutsch, Joseph H. Eh r l i c h, Charles Fein-
berg, Ben B. Fenton, Sam and H. L. Frank, William
Friedman, Nathaniel H. Goldatick, Harry Grant,
Israel Himelhoch, Max Kogan, Harry Hyman, Ben
Kramer, Abe Kasle, Henry Levitt, C. Louis Moans,
Lawrence J. Michaelson, M. A. Mittelman, Gus New-
man, Herman Radner, Louis Robinson, M. Rosen-
baum, M. Silverman, George Stutz, Morris Steinberg,
Leonard Simons, Alex Schreiber, Nate S. Shapero,
Simon Shetzer, Barney Smith, Abe Srere, Sidney
Stone, Melville S. Welt, Joseph M. Welt, Henry

Wineman.
Mr. Butzel announced that the United Jewish Char-
ities had voted a sum of $3,500, from the proceeds of the
sale of the old Fresh Air Camp site, towards the cam-
paign. Mr. Grant announced that the Standard Club had
boosted its gift froth $300 to $1,000.
„
Reviewing the results of the drive, Mr. Peiser stated:
"In the concluding episode of the campaign we have
reached a new high. We must not forget that our people
have been occupied with the campaign since March 8-
a long time in which to be active. When we realize at
the same time that our workers had in mind the welfare
of the community, we have much to be proud of.
"The old-timers who kept the Federation boat in the
right channel deserve a great deal of credit, and I wish
to compliment Mr. Butzel, Mr. Wineman and the entire
set of campaign officers, leaders and workers. We are
grateful also to George Sherman and Esther Prussian
of the Federation staff for their invaluable services in
the campaign.
"Our present campaign is history-making because our
leaders have established a sta. idard in giving. We are
now on the road to seeing the plan for a dues-paying
community program realized. Joe Ehrlich's proposals for
such a plan must soon see the light as a result of the
standards we have just created."
Mr. Peiser lauded the work in the drive of Sidney
Allen, and praised him as having shown ability as a
leader. He declared that the group present at Monday's
gathering was "a real nucleus for a fine community or-
ganization."
"Three pillars in the community," as Mr. Srere in-
troduced them—Fred M. Butzel, Henry Wineman and
Mrs. Joseph Ehrlich—delivered the concluding brief ad-
dresses of the evening.
Mr. Butzel stated that the goal is in sight and that
every important cause—local as well as overseas--will
be cared for. Pointing to the number of young men who
are now playing a leading rule in Detroit community af-
fairs, he said that his important contribution was not to
this drive but rather dates back to the days of the Tri-
Square Club in the old Hannah Schloss Building, where
these young men first received their training. "This is
the aristocracy of Detroit," he declared.
Expressing happiness over the success of the drive,
Mr. Wineman said that he saw in it forebodings of future
successes for this community. He lauded Kurt Peiser's
never-say-die spirit which, he said, was the moving force
that encouraged Sidney Allen and Abe Srere and their
group to proceed with the special project that assured
the success of the drive. Referring back to Mr. Peiser's
address in which the executive director of the Federation
said he was in Detroit to stay, to make his home here
and to help build a strong community, 11r. Wineman
said he was happy to hear this decision because he con-
siders Mr. Peiser one of the outstanding social workers
in this country.
Mrs. Ehrlich pledged to continue her work for the
community and urged speedy action in carrying into ef-
fect the plan for a dues-paying program.

Some idea of the all-pervad-

perceived in the fact that over
200 persons offered themselves
as delegates to Geneva. And
from the further fact that the

action.
At about that time it became
known that a bill was pending in
Congress aimed at stopping the
circulation through the mail of
propaganda designed to encour-
age race hatred. This writer
thereupon consulted the two
Michigan members of the United
States Senate as to their views
of the advisability of encourag-
ing legislation of this type. Sen-
ators James Couzens and Arthur
H. Vandenberg were both grac-
iously sympathetic and expressed
their personal views of condem-
nation against the circulation of
prejudicial material through the
!hail. Senator Couzens wrote:

the letter. of Senator Vanden-

past year as Presidential timber

letter follows:

Senator Vandenberg's views are
significant because they adhere to
the view of men like Arthur Gar-
field Hays who insist that they
would even give Nazis a chance
to express their views rather than
jeopardize the right of "free
speech." This group feels that
once you curtail free speech for
those who are today spreading
bigotry, such a law may in the
long run bring damage to the
very cause that aims to guarantee
just rights to all elements.
The text of the resolution which
was introduced in the House of
Representatives by Representative
Samuel Dickstein of New York,
aiming to stop the circulation of
anti-Semitic propaganda through
the mail, reads:

It is difficult to foretell whether

the adoption of such a resolution
is possible. Its backers will cer-
tainly not find it an easy matter
to secure very strong support for
it, because of the many damaging
