NEW YORK (By Religious News
Service) — More than 2,000 com-
munities throughout the country
will unite in observing the fifth
annual Brotherhood Day during
the week of Washington's birth-
day, Feb. 20-26, it was announced
by Dr. Everett R. Clinchy, direc-
tor of the National Conference of
Jews and Christians, 300 Fourth
Ave., New York, under whose aus-
pices the observance will be held.
Coincident with this year's ob-
servance, Protestants, Catholics
and Jews throughout the nation
will join in celebrating the 10th
anniversary of the founding of the
National Conference.
The Slogan
Dr. Clinchy said the slogan this
year will be, "Make America Safe
for Differences." In explaining the
purpose of Brotherhood Day, he
declared:
"Brotherhood Day is based upon
the conviction that Anglicans,
Evangelical Protestants, J e w s,
Mormons, Roman Catholics, Qua-
kers, Unitarians, have many in-
terests in common,
"All believe in God and in a reli-
gious interpretation of life's mean-
ings. Each is equally opposed to
atheism and materialism and the
invading host of secular influences
that threaten, not this or that reli-
gion only, but religion itself.
All deplore the misunderstand-
ing and intolerance that in Ameri-
ca in the past have been the source
of unfair discriminations, petty
persecutions and violent hostilities
among religious and racial groups
and are aware of the prejudice
that today appears sporadically
from time to time with its de-
structive consequences to the rela-
tions that should exist among cal-
zens of the one country.
Stress Cooperation
"Thoughtful citizens of all faiths
Are determined that America shall
be kept free from the suicidal ani-
mosities that are disfiguring the
common life in other parts of the
world today and that those prin-
ciples of justice, amity and under-
standing which the fathers of the
republic advocated shall be main-
tained as the true American tradi-
tion, embodying The American
Dream.
"Brotherhood Day does not ad-
vocate church union or common
worship or any merging or water-
ing down of religious convictions,
but proclaims the principle that
individuals of all religious groups,
as American citizens, can and
should cooperate heartily in sup-
port of socialjustice and human
betterment in all community proj-
ects in which they alike believe, in
opposition to every importation of
foreign prejudices and hostilities,
and in support of the American
principles of freedom of speech,
press and assembly."

SPONTANEOUS BOYCOTT EFFORT

HAIFA (WNS—Palcor Agency)
—Mordecai Schwartz, a Jewish
constable, was sentenced to death,
at the Haifa Assizes Court for the
murder last September, first, of
an Arab constable who, together
with Schwartz, was guarding the
summer camp at Athlit of High
Commissioner Sir Arthur Wau-
chope. An appeal has been en-
tered by the defense against the
sentence. Presiding as the sole
judge over the court was Harry
Herbert Trusted, chief justice of
Palestine, who declared that the
murder was premeditated. Jus-
tice Trusted rejected the submis-
sion of the prosecution that the
murder had been committed to
avenge the murder, on Aug. 30,
of Daniel Stanetzky. 32 years old,

Schwartz is the first Jews to be

Staysky successfully appealed his
sentence.

Suggests Internationalisation

WASHINGTON, D. C. (WNS)
—Palestine would pass under in-
ternational political and economic
control. according to one sugges-
tion advanced in the report of
Paul van Zeeland, former pre-
mier of Belgium, for international
economic action to deal with the
world crisis. The Van Zeeland
report declares that among the
the proposals suggested for solv-
ing the colonial problem was
"that the regime of mandates
should be revised, that the na-
tional element should be removed
and that the system should be
made completely international,
both from the economic and the
political point of view.

GENEVA (WNS) --A committee of
three, comprising the Persian president of
the Council and representatives of England
and France, has been named by the League
of Nations Council to study Jewish petitions
protesting Rumania's violation of the 1919

minorities treaty through its anti-Jewish program. This
committee will examine the petitions immediately in order
to give Rumania an opportunity to comment on them
before the committee reports. It is expected the report
will be ready before the May meeting of the council.

spokesman warned Rumania that
England would demand an extra-

Their action was also based on the
