The past year has developed
an increase in tensions between
t he various religious groups in
America as a result both of
heightened economic tensions in
he United States and of con-
flicting opinions us to political
events or policies abroad. Never-
heless, the year has brought also
significant turn in inter-faith
relations that is gratifying to ev-
e ryone interested in the evolu-
ion of more civilized human 'T-
alons in America.
Most encouraging has been the
ncreasingly realistic approach to
nter-faith understanding adopted
y Christian and Jewish leaders.
1 ood will means more than the
occasional fraternizing of the
abbi, priest and minister; it is
"ore significant than a good-will
dlgrimage or an inter-faith in-
titute; it far transcends the

words of a resolution. Good will
is no parlor game. It is built of
sturdier stuff.
After 10 years of activity in
this field, the National Conference
of Jews and Christians is con-
vinced that there is maturing,
among the leaders of all faiths
an intellectual grasp of the prob-
lems involved in inter-group rela-
tions. For example, never before
in the history of Christianity have
Church councils been as outspoken
in word and deed against anti-
Semitism as during recent months
Moreover, the National Confer-
ence of Jews and Christians has
been successful in creating local
community techniques for the
moderation of tensions. Person-
al contacts between the leaders
of the various groups tend to
make for a more rational and
less emotional consideration of
the problems involved.
When the National Conference
was first founded 10 years ago,
there were some Jews and Chris-
tians who now little or no point
to its organization. This aloof
attitude has been discarded by
every thoughtful person who
knows the disastrous effects of
non-communication among Euro-
pean Catholics, Jews and Prot-
estants. Whereas the good will
movement may at one time have
been nurtured only on the broth-
erly spirit of true religion, it
now has taken cheep root in 'sea-
son as well as emotion in that
leaders realize that anti-Semit-
ism, anti-Catholicism, or anti- any
denomination, is simply a prelude
to anti-religion in general.
Churchmen are realizing that
the battle for survival is not be-
tween Catholics and Protestants,
Christian and Jew, or Baptist and
Methodist; the battle is between
the forces of religion and the
growing secularization, and in
some cases paganism, of modern
life. A community of religious
forces is being developed on a
confederation basis, that is: the
religious forces work together on
matters of general interest while
individually maintaining their au-
tonomy and distinct doctrines.
Such a trend is noticeable in
Christianity in the formation of_i
the World Council of Churche4
and Jewry has indicated a similar
interest in the subject in that
there has been a move in this
country for the strengthening of
the Synagogue Council of Amer-
ica, the Federation of the Re
form, Conservative and Orthodox
groups.
With such sentiment prevailing,
it is obviously necessary that it
feeling of good will, a desire for
better understanding and a real
effort for co-operation should be
the animating spirit of the day.
The contribution within the next
few years of the National Con-
ference to the furtherance of this
trend will be in the direction of
supplying the raw materials of
basic truths necessary for a bet-
ter understanding of differences
and the meeting ground upon
, which prejudices can be resolved.
Our efforts will be directed to-
wards making America safe for
mizing of what we hold in com-
mon and the tasks we must work
differences. But our differences
must not be stressed

Publishers are bidding fabulous
sums for Sigmund Freud's new
book, a psychological study of
the Old Testament in which the
daddy of psychoanalysis attempts
to prove that Moses was an
Egyptian, and not an Israelite ...
Which reminds us that four of
Freud's sisters, all over 7i, now
are homeless in Vienna, having
been dispossessed by the Nazis.

A floppy and Prosperous Neu' Fear to All
The tact that Democracy is be-
ing challenged by the Authoritar-
ian State (Nazism and Commu-
nism) is more evident to the man
on the street each (lay. As a re-
sult, many men and women who
have been ignorant of or indif-
ferent to the fact that intoler-
ance between groups exists have
come to realize that this intoler-
ance is the handmaid of totali-
tarianism, and is the means used
to sow the seed of hatred which
is an essential forerunner of the
establishment of a dictatorship.
I believe that just as when a
healthy body is attacked by a dis-
ease there is set in motion within
the body counter bodies to kill
the disease germs, similarly in
the body politic, the disease of in-
tolerance creates counter forces
working towards good will and
better understanding.
It is our duty to aid all in-
dividuals and organizations work-
ing for good will. PersonallY,
believe the most effective of all
are the churches and synagogues;
that is, the forces of organized
religion.
