flecting the semi-tropical sky.
The painter, Schmitt, is repre-
sented by a painting which depicts
the sultry tropical atmosphere

dependent of factional differences.
Prof. Brodetaky asserted that he
would deem it his primary func-
tion to conduct the affairs of the
board with due regard to the
views of all sections represented
in the Board of Jewish Deputies.
A preliminary basis for closer
cooperation between the board
and the Jewish Congress in work-
ing out demands for Jewish mi-
nority rights to be presented to
the ultimate peace conference has
been established. At the present
time, however, there is no indica-
tion of a formal affiliation be-
tween the board and the Congress
because of the adverse effect that
such • move might have an efforts
to achieve unity here with regard
to major problems arising from
the war and the peace conference,
and on endeavors to have British
Jewry speak as one on these
questions. Informed sources were
of the opinion that this question
will be raised next May when the
present treaty with the Anglo-
Jewish Association on the Joint
Foreign Committee expires and
the question of renewal comes
up for decision.

be neutral or silent in thought."
The resolution supported Presi-
dent Roosevelt in his "moral em-
bargo"" on Russia for the in-
vasion of Finland, and Mr. Hoover
in his organization of relief for
the Finnish people. Then it urged
action on behalf of the oppressed
Jews in Nazi Poland.
An estimated 8,000 persons were
turned away. There was only one
minor disturbance which occurred
when a galleryite booed during
Mr. Green's address at a point
where the crowd thought he should
have cheered. He was escorted
from his seat amid hisses and cat-
calls.
The meeting opened a nation-
wide appeal for $500,000 to be
used to aid Jewish and other per-
secuted peoples of Europe. Rabbi
Stephen S. Wise, who presided at
the rally, announced that part of
the funds collected would be sent
to Mr. Hoover to be used for the
relief of Finland.
The biggest ovation was re-
ceived by Mayor LaGuardia who
arrived at the rally several hours
late, having flown together with
Mr. Hoover from Chicago to New
York early in the evening. The
mayor expressed his "horror" at
what is taking place in Europe
and said he hoped that what was
said at the meeting would create
"a sense of shame" in those re-
sponsible for the "outrages com-
mitted upon innocent people." Ile
referred to the aggression in Eu-
ripe at "a throwback to barbar-
ism." Throughout the country and
world today is being crystalized a
public opinion that "will be visit-
ed upon the culprits for centuries
to come," he said.

tained that if Jews speak for
themselves the non-Jews will join
them in a great humanitarian
effort.
A Plea for Courage
Pleading for a spirit of courage
and for abandonment of the pre-
vious hush-hush policies in Jew-
ish life, Mr. Slomovitz expressed
the belief that German Jews had
blundered by inaction when a
great tragedy first faced them,
and he pleaded against repetition
of the same mistake here. Point-
ing to the failure on the part
of the daily press to present the
facts regarding the great tragedy
inflicted upon Jewry, he attribut-
ed it to the fear on the part of
newspapers lest they be misled
by "propaganda," and he urged
masa expressions of Jewish feel-
i ng not only as a means of re-
l ieving pent-up emotions but also
in order to enlighten the commu-
nity at large and to have the ex-
isting facts made known. As an-
other reason for public rallies for
the presentation of facts he point.
ed to the danger of Jews them-
selves becoming calloused to con-
ditions, and declared that it is
necessary to keep Jews wide awake
to reality in order that great
fund-raising efforts for relief
should not be doomed to failure.
"Our fate is bound up with the
future of democracies," Mr. , Slom-
ovitz declared, "But by the same
token the fate of the democracies
is bound up with our fate. Where
Jews are free, where Jews are
permitted to live in peace, to earn
a living, to enjoy the freedom of
their faith, there we also have
freedom of religion, freedom of
press, freedom of assembly. To
guarantee the perpetuation of
principles of freedom, Jews must
take the lead in fighting for them,
and our neighbors will then surely
Join us in this great battle for
decency and for Justice. But if
we, the traditional pawn in the
game for democracy, remain sil-
ent, there is danger that Chris-
tianity will also become indiffer-
ent. Our sacred obligation to speak
is clear and apparent."
Work of J. D. C.
Fred M. Butzel, the next
speaker on the program, empha-
sized that although mass meetings
provide an emotional outlet, in
the final analysis the Jews cannot
light certain forces through this
medium but must fall back upon
other inner resources. Fortun-
ately, he said, the approaches of
the various elements in Jewry
have come closer together than
ever before. "The United Jewish
Appeal is a tremendous accom-
plishment. At the recent confer-
ence of the Joint Distribution
Committee in Chicago, a speaker
arose and said that his commu-
nity could not raise funds except
through this type of joint appeal. '
Mr. Butzel proceeded to discuss
tie manner in which the situation
-nnfronting the Joint Distribution
Committee has changed in recent
months, with almost all of the
burden falling upon the shoulders
of American Jewry. Ile explained
that a major problem today was
