Cantors to Have
Convention Soon
A delegation of cantors from
Chicago was in Detroit this week
to consult with Cantor J. H. Son-
enklar of Congregation Shaarey
Zedek and to plan a convention
of cantors from Detroit, Chicago
and Cleveland.
Tentative plans were made to
hold the convention in August.
The purpose of the convention,
which will take place in Cleve-
land, will be to advance the stand-
ards of Jewish music, to improve
cantorial work and to deal with
problems relating to the cantors'
profession.

from curvature of the spine due
to arthritis. "After her first treat-
ment of 21 baths, she is improved
beyond my wildest hopes," he
writes. "Her back is straight and
she walks normally."

Discrimination
curity is one of the essentials of
genuine democracy", Assembly-
man Wagner and Senator Gut-
man placed the failure of the
New York State Legislature to
pass legislation which would have
imposed penalties for discrimina-
tion in public works, insurance
companies, and banks at "the feet
of the majority party members
who control the committees and
who refuse to permit the chosen
representatives of the people to
consider and vote upon our pro-
posals."
Senator Gutman and Assembly.
man Wagner were the co-authors
of a number of bills introduced
at the last session of the New
York State Legislature which
would have penalized discrimina-
tion in these three fields because
of race, color, or religion. Sena-
tor Gutman stated "that these
measures were not defeated by
the legislators. It is safe to as-
sert that had these bills come
to the floor of the Senate and
Assembly they would have been
passed easily, even unanimously.
The measures are democratic,
fair, and honest in their provi-
sions. It is difficult to conceive
of any objection against master-
ing substantial support. The fail-
ure of the various legislative
committees to report legislation
dealing with the problem of dis-
crimination in employment is a
stigma upon the record of an
otherwise, worthy, constructive
session at Albany."
Assemblyman Wagner lauded
the American Jewish Congress for
its work in the field of combating
economic discrimination against
Jews in employment and for its
sponsorship of a number of anti-
discrimination bills in the New
York State Legislature. He point-
ed out that "in the city of New
York alone about 35 per cent of
the 365,000 Jews have not been
able to find employment in cer-
tain industries and have not been
able to find jobs since they left
school. Jewish people find that
they are discriminated against by
industrial corporations, public
utilities, banks, and insurance
companies. Although over 2,000,-
000 Jews live in the City of New
York and a large percentage of
them are consumers of gas and
electricity, the number ofJews
employed by these companies is
only a handful. The three largest
banks in the City of New York,
together employing about 20,000
persons, have only about 200 Jews
employed in a community where
the Jews constitute about 20 per
cent of the population. In a New
York bank one of its officers
estimated that approximately
one fourth of its depositors are
Jews, although it employes only
six Jews."
Assemblyman Wagner asserted

SCENES AT COUNCIL CAMP AT JEDDO, MICH.

further that a great deal of evi•
dence has been accumulated prov-
ing discrimination by industries
engaged in national defense work,
and he also charged employment
agencies with fostering a particu-
larly vicious type of discrimina-
tion in the form of "Christians
Only", which sounds like an im-
portation from Nazi Germany.
"The foundation of democracy",
Assemblyman Wagner said, "are
weakened by those who fail to
give equal opportunity to Ameri-
can citizens regardless of race,
color, or creed. At this time our
nation is engaged in a tremendous
program to defend those prin-
ciples which are so fundamental
to our democratic way of life.
United Support for this program
can be achieved only by practis-
Ing those principles we are pre-
pared to defend."
Announcement was made of the
formation by the American Jew-
ish Congress of a legislative com-
mittee, comprising representatives
of the American Jewish Congress,
its Women's Division, and its
Youth Group, under the chair-
manship of Judge Nathan D.
Perlman of the Court of Special
Sessions, vice-president of the
American Jewish Congress. The
legislative program of the Con-
gress will be devoted to the fol-
lowing three principal tasks, Miss
Milly Brandt pointed out:
I. Through legislation con-
forming to the American tradi-
tion of civil liberties, to combat
anti-democratic forces in this
country.
II. To combat legislation af-
fecting immigrants or non-citi-
zens, not in keeping with Ameri-
can traditions.
III. To prevent, by means of
legislation, discrimination in pub-
lic employment or other concerns
affected with a public interest,
because of race, color, or religion.
Judge Perlman, unable to be
present because of court work,
sent a message.
Lauding the action of the
President of the United States in
closing the consulates of the
Nazis, he pointed out that "this
action alone is not enough to
cancel out the problems created
by eight years of unbridled
propaganda." These problems, he
stated, were economic discrimina-
tion, religious intolerance, and the
other concomitants of the total-
itarian philosophy.
Mrs. Wise pointed out that the
Women's Division of the Ameri-
can Jewish Congress understands
"the truth that vigilance is the
price of liberty. But it is more
than the price of liberty. Vigi-
lance in the case of legislative
action may have the desired two-
fold results—namely, avert legis-
lation which is evil because it is
injurious, and facilitate the en-
actment of legislation which is
good and just."
Miss Brandt discussed the
long-time fight of the Congress
against economic discrimination,
