ish organizations called by the Bnai Brith
and the Jewish Chamber of Commerce.
A Federation of Jewish Organizations
has been formed and will have authority
to speak for the entire Jewish community.
The report from Mexico City stated:
"Although the meeting ended on a note
of harmony it came close to breaking up
when the Sephardic Jews insisted that
only Spanish be spoken. A compromise
was arranged by which those who do not
know much Spanish are to be allowed to
speak in Yiddish provided their remarks
are later translated into Spanish." This
note of difference appears to indicate that
all prejudices have not been wiped out,
but it is reasonable to believe that the
threats from the outside have helped in
the acquisition of whatever semblance of
unity has been achieved.
Insofar as American Jewry is con-
cerned, it is well that we should act as
a single force now, and not wait until ex-
ternal pressure forces us to unite on a
common defensive program.

II Adar 8. 5698

The Allied Campaign Chairman

The Allied Jewish Campaign is off for
a good start. For the very reason that a
larger quota will be needed in a time of
recession, it is well that the chairman of
the drive should be an optimist.
If ever there was doubt as to Fred M.
Butzel's optimism it should have been dis-
pelled by the statement he issued upon
accepting the chairmanship of the 1938
campaign. He recognizes the seriousness
of the present situation in Jewry, but he
tempers his feelings with an encouraging
note based on his belief that "Europe is
coming to its senses in matters of peace
and personal liberty."
Mr. Butzel's assumption of leadership
in the drive is in itself a most encouraging
factor. It is impossible to speak of this
community without linking his name with
the best aspirations of all elements, and
particularly the Jewish group. He has had
a share in the building of all that is con-
structive and that tends to improve the
status of our people. It is natural that he
should be called upon to lead the major
fund-raising effort.
It is to the credit of Mr. Butzel that he
is always prepared to be of service. Prac-
tically every day of his life is devoted to
the service of his people. But that does
not deter him from further service during
the most trying period in community ef-
fort. His leadership will mean much to
the 1938 Allied Jewish Campaign. It will
be a sacred effort that will be conducted
under the direction of a splendid man
and an acknowledged leader. The com-
munity must rally to his call and make it
easy for him and his associates to raise
the entire assigned quota in the drive.

Good Will Must Begin in the Cradle

NEW YORK (WNS) — After
hearing Ab Cohan, editor of the
Jewish Daily Forward, and B. C.
Vladeck, majority leader of the
New York City Council, warn
against permitting Communists to
share in the activities of the or-
ganization, the National Jewish
Labor Committee's first national
convention adopted by overwhelm-
ing majorities two resolutions
which rejected the cooperation of
Communist groups in the fight
against anti-Semitism and Fas-
cism. One resolution pledged the
Jewish Labor Committee and its
affiliated bodies to "unalienable
adherence to the principles of dem-
ocracy and freedom and rejecting
cooperation with any organization
that upholds a dictatorship of any
sort." The other authorized the
executive committee "in the strug-
gle against Fascism and anti-Sem-
itism to unite, for specific actions,
with other organizations, Jewish as
well as non-Jewish, on condition
that these organizations uphold
the principles of freedom and
democracy in all countries."

John Palmer Gavit, associate editor of The
Survey. author of a number of books dealing with
the problem of human relations, has written a
most interesting article for Parents Magazine in
which he does some plain talking on the question
of race prejudice. The point he makes is that
parents have the responsibility of bringing up
their children free from intolerance, and ho makes
the point that good will must begin early—in the
cradle days of a child. In this connection he re-
