Will Your Home Be
Their Home?
If you are a home owner you
probably have to deal with a mort-
gage. Payments are fairly easy
to make now, but if you should
die before the mortgage is paid off, your dependents might
have a struggle to make the payments. For what is, in effect,
merely a slight increase in the interest rate you pay, you can
obtain a Great-West policy which will clear off the mortgage
for your family if the emergency should ever arise.
Let me give you full particulars of this attractive plan.

Chairman, 1938 Allied Jewish Campaign
The Allied Jewish Campaign officially closed
Friday at noon. The response has been liberal, but
the need is appalling and we are still short of our
goal.
Do not wait to be approached. Make your
contribution at once. If you have contributed, give
one more thought to our problem. Consider the
plight of our brethren abroad, victims of oppression
and poverty.
Reconsider your gift. If you can give more,
this is the time. Come to the Jewish Welfare Federa-
tion, 51 W. Warren Ave., or phone Columbia 1600.
We need help from new friends and more help
from old friends.

r
000 voters. It was one of the most
imposing Jewish assemblies ever
held in the United States. A dis-
tinguished delegation was elected
to go to Europe to represent
American Jewry at the peace con-
ference. It included Julian W.
Mack as chairman with Louis
Marshall, Dr. Nachum Syrkin, Jo-
seph Barondess, Rabbi B. I. Levin-
thal, Morris Winchevsky, Jacob
de Haas as members, and Bernard
G. Richards as secretary. When
this delegation arrived in Europe,
it found gathered delegations rep-
resenting many other Jewriea who
merged their interests and elected
Louis Marshall as their chairman.
It is needless to go into the de-
tails of the work of the Commit-
tee of Jewish Delegations, which
was there formed. It suffices to
say that the representations made
by the leaders of world Jewry re-
sulted in the adoption of the mi-
norities rights clauses in the
treaties of peace and in the en-
dorsement of the Balfour Dec-
laration, and the incorporation of
that declaration in the treaty with
the Turkish empire.
But the union of Jewish forces
interested in Jewish rights, estab-
lished first in the United States
and then in Paris, was not sus-
tained in the years that followed.
The American Jewish Congress
met to receive the report of its
delegation, and adjourned sine
die. All elements brought into the
American Jewish Congress under
the influence of the war spirit,
but who were opposed to its per-
manent organization, withdrew
from its ranks. The same elements
also withdrew gradually from the
Committee of Jewish Delegations
which had established an office in
Paris, and left Dr. Leo Motzkin,
in charge of the committee, to
continue its work until his demise.
Gradual Deterioration
For a few years after the dec-
laration of peace, there seemed to
be an improvement in the Eve.-
peas Jewish position, but there
followed a gradual deterioration.
A simultaneous disintegration of
unity among Jews in defense of
what had been achieved at Ver-
sailles also ensued in the post-
war years. Except for the creation
of the Enlarged Jewish Agency,
exclusively concerned with Pales-
tine, each Jewry went its own
way, refusing to consolidate with
others and opposing every effort
to establish co-operation in Jewish
defense.
The American Jewish Congress
continued its work, however. Out
of the rump that remained after
the withdrawal of Louis Marshall
and hie friends, the organization
continued actively in the field, ad-
vocating its ideals and winning an
ever-larger support from nation-
alistic elements. It was on the
verge of relapsing into inactivity
when Adolf Hitler came to power
in Germany.
House-Painter's Advent
With the advent of the house-
painter of Austria as the ruler of
the Third Reich, anti-Semitism
formed into a world menace. The
new Germany, breaking through
the shackles of the Versailles
Treaty, concentrated on Jew-bait-
ing as the keystone of its pro-
gram, and formulated the theory
of blood-kinship as the exclusive
test of citizenship, and thus ex-
cluded Jews from the national fel-
lowship. It was not an anti-Semi-
tism limited to German territory.
It reached cut into all parts of
the world, and through a persist-
ent propaganda of libel and cal-
umniation of the Jewish people,
it influenced the action of other
weaker states. The European
states imitated the anti-Semitism
of Hitler because anti-Semitism
served to pave the way to dicta-
torship. Thus, as Adolf Hitler
grew in power, anti-Semitism be-
came more virulent in Poland, in
Rumania, in Lithuania, in Latvia,
and with the occupation of Aus-
tria by Hitler, even the position
of Czechoslovakia as a free repub-
lic was seriously menaced. In ef-
fect, the larger part of Europe
became a seething cauldron of
anti-Semitism.
And although the totalitarian
states and their dictators moved
on to the formation of a united
front, the Jews throughout the
world remained unconscious of
the threat to their existence. They
were not aroused to a common de-
fense. The one agency undaunted
in its perseverance and unshatter-
ed by the attacks of its Jewish
opponents remained the American
Jewish Congress. With the coming
of Hitler, it rallied the forces of
American liberalism to the side
of Jewish defense. It organized
tremendous masa demonstrations
in the larger American cities, and
registered a will and ■ courage
which had its effect upon foreign
opinion. It became the chief sup-
port of the boycott of German
goods. In spite of the depreciation
of Its efforts, the negation of the
value of public defense, the de-
sire to keep Jewish life under sub-
dued control, (a policy adopted
by a number of opposing Jewish
organizations). the American Jew-
ish Congress continued in its
work of defense and even sue •
seeded in Influencing a number of
these doubting groups into a
change of method and the adop-
tion of new ideas. The American
Jewish Congress has influenced
and dominated the thoughts of
American Jews for the last five
years. The boycott is no longer
attacked by Jews. The Bnai Brith
has extended its anti-defamation
work into a larger field. The
American Jewish Committee pre-
tends to a secrecy which it is un-
able to maintain, and engages it-
self in political efforts abroad
which it disdained to do openly in
the early days of Hitler.
OFFERS
Expert Professional Supervision Under Direction of
Mr. and Mrs. S. Bercovich
Call for Defense
In 1936, the American Jewish
Congress, in co-operation with the
democratic Jewries of Europe,
issued a call for a world defense
of Jewish rights through the
agency of a World Jewish Con-
gress. The Geneva session of the
World Jewish Congress was the
most impressive and the most in-
fluential Jewish international as-
sembly ever held. It was attended
by the free Jewries, as well as
those Jewries in the process of be-
ing suppressed by the forces of
totalitarianism. It elected an in-
ternational committee which has
been generously supported by the
American Jewish Congress, and
which has effectively made repre-
sentations on behalf of world
Jewry in Geneva, in Paris and in
London. Excluding from consid-
eration t h e Extended Jewish
Agency, which is limited in its
scope to the problems of Palestine,
the World Jewish Congress has
been the only effective interna-
tional instrument serving Jewish
defense in the Galuth.
The tragic circumstances of
Jewish life now force the pace of
democratic growth in the forms
of Jewish defense. A world in
flames cannot be subdued by
feeble, individual effort. The
noises emanating from Hitler can-
not be overcome by a universal
silence, broken by occasional dis-
cords. An attack strong enough
to extend to all parts of the world,
resourceful enough to dominate
public opinion not only in Europe
but in South and North America,
in all the lands along the Mediter-
ranean, using all the methods of
modern propaganda, cannot be re-
pulsed by disorganized, piece-
m e a l endeavors of scattered
groups ignorant of the strategy
of defense elsewhere, unaware of
the totality of the pressure that
is being brought to bear upon
Jewish life. In union there is
strength not only for physical re-
sistance, but also for the moral
value that comes with general co-
operation for a great cause.
This Jewish defense we n ow
propose to consolidate and to
make articulate by the mobilisa-
tion of the Jews of America. The
mobilization is to take the form
of registration and voting in dem-
ocratic elections of the American .
Jewish Congress on June 25, 26,
27, 1938. Against the force of
the barbarians of the Third Reich,
there is to be registered the moral
and the physical strength of the
4,500,000 Jews of America. Let
our enemies see that, in spite of
their success against the helpless
Jews in their midst, there a re
4,500,000 free loyal Jews lining
in a free land who indicate
through their mobilization that
they hold to their moral position,
that they do not lose courage but
stand ■ as • bastion of reliance
against the onrush of hostile
forces, upo n which European
Jewry may rely.

Agency to Assist Jobless
The Jewish Agency for Pales-

of the Municipality of Tel Aviv,
besieged by sit-in strikers and
general distress calls from the
unemployed, by deciding to in-
augurate a program of roads
works which will absorb 1,000
workers. Upon the announce-
ment of this scheme, the jobless
who had been staging a sit-in
strike in the Town Hall for six
days left the Municipality offices.
As further aid to the Municipality,
the Anglo-Palestine Bank has
granted it a loan of $50,000
($250,000) for a five-year term.

Jews in America for a gift of
30,000 francs for "Syria's flood
victims—given despite the fact
that not one mingle Jew was in-

Sephardi Seek $500,000 for Rab-

Jerusalem
AMSTERDAM (WNS) — A
worldwide campaign to rake
$500,000 for the establishment of
a Sephardic rabbinical seminary
in Jerusalem, was launched at the
closing session of the second
world conference of Sephardim,
attended by 41 delegates from 12
countries. The object of the new
seminary is to train rabbis for the
small but numerous and widely
scattered Sephardic communities.
The conference was held in the
famous Portuguese Synagogue
built by the refugees from Spain
and Portugal who found a haven
here in the late 15th and early
Ifith centuries. Rabbi David
Abraham Jessurun de Cardoso, as-
sistant minister of New York's
Spanish-Portuguese Congregation,
the oldest in the new world, rep-
resented American Sephardim.
