It is impossible to conceive of
a history of the forerunners of

them the name of Emma Lazarus,
This eminent Jewess's name

present time in contemporary,

TAMPA, Fla. — (WN) — A
resolution reiterating its pr e -
viously expressed stand in support
of the anti-Nazi boycott is ex-
pected to be adopted by the an-
nual conventien of the American
Federation of Labor which is in
session here. An ekhibition show-
ing the plight of labor in Nazi
Germany is being shown here by
the Non-Sectarian Anti-Nazi
League. The exhibit contains ma-
terial showing the destruction of
the Gerynan trade union move-
ment, the murder of labor lead-
era and the conditions of labor
in the Third Reich?
Warning labor that the work-
ers of the world must "stand like
a Rock of Gibraltar" in defense
of democracy, William Green,
president of the American Fed-
eration of Labor, told the annual
convention of the Federation that
the organization will continue its
anti-Nazi boycott. Bitterly attack-
ins Fascism and dictatorships, Mr.
Green said: "The church may fail,
the chambers of commerce may
be impotent and the civic leaders
may lack the power to deal with
the tyranny of dictatorial rule.
But the trade union movement—
at which dictators strike first—
has the strength to prevent the
rise of dictatorship at any time
and any place. Democracy rests
in the keeping of trade unionism.
And if freedom comes again to '
the nations now under an iron
rule it will come through rebel-
lion of the working people.
We learn with indignation of
the persecution of the Jewish
race in Germany. We protest

NEW YORK—Louis Lipsky, dis-
tinguished Jewish leader, will be
honored on Sunday evening, Nov.
29, at a dinner arranged at
Hotel Waldorf-Astoria in New
York City on the occasion of his

to defend the rights of Jews in
the Diaspora.

been identified with the demo-
cratic movements in Jewish life
and is recognized as one of the
outstanding communal leaders in
this country.

the president of the Zionist Or-
ganization of America and has
been active in its councils as a
member of its governing bodies
since the termination of his ten-
ure as president in 1931. He is

ted Palestine Appeal.

CAMPAIGN TRIUMPH
Peiser, Silver, Warren, Fine-

The Speakers
FLINT. — Approximately 300
men and women gathered at the
Jewish Center in Flint on Sunday
evening to celebrate the success
of the first united fund-raising
effort conducted recently under
the chairmanship of Ellis II. War-
ren. The campaign quota of
$11,820 was over-subscribed by
close to $2,000.
Mr. Warren, who presided at
the dinner, thanked his co-work-
ers and especially Kurt Peiser,
executive director of the Jewish
Welfare Federation of Detroit
who was the advisory director of
the campaign, for their untiring
efforts.
Speakers at the dinner included
Rabbi Elmer Berger, Rabbi S. Z.
Fineberg, Mr. Peiser and Har-
old Silver, executive director of
the Jewish Social Service Bur-
eau of Detroit.
Rabbis Berger and Fineberg
both lauded the unity that was
achieved in Flint, and urged the
the continuation of efforts along
the same path to guarantee fu-
ture triumphs in Jewish commu-
nal work.
Mr. Silver congratulated the
Flint community on their success-
ful campaign and expressed the
hope that Flint will remain a
united community. "As you de-
velop a spirit of Jewish loyalty.
so do you also develop a spirit of
Jewish unity," Mr. Silver' de-
clared.
Mr. Peiser, in his address, em-
phasized what can be accom-
plished through unity when every-
thing else fails. Ile lauded the
efforts of Mr. Warren and praised
him for having accepted the re-
sponsibility of heading the drive
and in making such an outstand-
ing triumph of it. Ile voiced the
hope that Mr. Warren and his
co-workers will succeed in draw-
ing in a group of young leaders
who will be trained to take over
the responsibility for community
work in the future and expressed
confidence that under Mr. War-
ren's leadership, community
achievement will not be curtailed
for many years to come.
Mr.
Peiser also expressed the hope
that other measures for commu-
nity unity will be undertaken by
Flint Jewry in efforts to create
• Jewish center in which all
groups, regardless of affiliation',
will be able to meet under the
common denominator of Jew.

Few people in America realize
what it means to the Jews of a
small Polish town or city to have
a pogrom. I don't mean merely
those who are killed. or those who
must carry on their bodies the
marks of brutal violence inflicted
upon them.
There is an aftermath to these
terrible outbreaks of fomented
hatred. That aftermath consists
in the destruction of the local
Jewish economic life after the
pogrom is over.
Even if the shop or workably
of a Jew has escaped direct at-
tack the artisan or the trades-
man cannot continue to work
normally. It is possible to re-
store business in the town to a
normal level only by providing
pew turnover capital from out-
side, as was the case in Minsk-
Mazavetsk and Skala.

The problem becomes even
more difficult and the situation
wore in towns where the eco-
nomic organization of the En-
deka is carrying on its destructive
experiment of anti-Jewish activ-
ity with the object of obtaining
control of all Jewish workshops
and shops far non.Jews. The
Endeks are spending large cams
on picketing Jewish shops in the
towns as well as along the roads
leading to the towns. And the
acts of boycott terror are not
confined to Jewish victims. They
are also committed against those
Christians who dare to buy from
or sell to Jews. Pickets are pa id
three zlotys • day and the organ-
ization also pays for the installa-
tion in such towns of non-Jew-
ish workshops and shops.
Hunger Blockade of Jews
Non-Jewish artisans are im-
ported from distant localities for
the purpose, and the Endek news-
papers publish that these towns
have been chosen as a laboratory
to convince the public that they
can get on well without the Jews.
The result is virtually a hunger
blockade of the Jews.
Now what can be done to de-
feat this campaign of extermM-
ation and to enable the Jews to
hold out against the blockade
until the peasants. who have dealt
with them for hundreds of yearn,
resume their buying from them?
To permit the Endeks to succeed
in one place would be to cause
■ an extension of their program
elsewhere. It is the duty of the
Jewish people to see to it that
their program fails.
It is in this direction that the
Joint Distribution Committee has
been working. For example, in
the pogromized town of Prnytyk,
the J. D. C. enabled 30 Jews to ob-
tain cows which furnish their
familiz3 with the means of ex-
istence. This solves the problem
of milk for the children. for
whom none had been available at
any price.

its sewing of shirts to Przytyk,
