immediacy and importance. We
must accept once and for all a
responsibility proportioned to the
greatness of our strength. The
task in behalf of local, regional,
national and overseas causes calls
for emotional maturity. Democ-
racy is endangered and because
over the centuries our liberties
have been precarious at best, we
must not relinquish our special
sector, even while we do our
share toward achieving victory in
the general struggle."
To this call by Mr. Srere for
a rededication to communal serv-
ice, Mr. Blumberg added his ob-
servation as head of the fund-
raising arm of the Federation,
that this year the social climate
in which the Jewish community
will function requires more at-
tention than the mechanics of
organization, "the structure of
which has been built on solid
ground, thanks to our fine army
of men and women volunteer
workers."

The Dominant Theme

Accompanying the announce-
ment of the budget committee's
composition was an analysis of
the major tasks that lie ahead.
"This is a year," the statement
said, "when the form of our com-
munity organizations, the agen-
cies included, or the type of cam-
paign, should not be taken for
granted. Our campaign will, in
effect, be asking us whether we,
as American Jews, are worthy
of a great privilege and respon-
sibility. The fate of our country
and our Allies the world over—
the fate of our people, as a peo-
ple and as human beings—rests
with us. The money we decide to
appropriate, the campaign, the
pledges and finally the payments
will defend our sector of the
battle lines for democracy. Our
morale as Americans will be
served best if our esprit de corps
as Jews is shaped in the heroic
manner. The dominant theme of
our efforla.must be to strength-
en our forces to operate with en-
lightened self-interest as Jews
and as Americans, wherever life
and living are to be encouraged—
at home, in Palestine, the world
over."

VOCATIONS

(Continued from Page One)

labor supply cannot serve em-
ployer demands, an increasing
number of cancelled orders re-
sult.
Priority unemployment is be-
coming an important factor in
increasing Jewish Vocational
Service applications. Experience
also has shown that for every
100 auto-workers who lose their
jobs, 30 more in trade and serv-
ice occupations soon join the
rankg of the unemployed. As
more and more consumer indus-
tries are threatened by priority
displacements, the lines of ap-
plicants at the Jewish Vocational
Srvice increase.
In the present situation, Jews
—and especially Jewish youth—
have shown greatly increased in-
terest in mechanical occupations.
Any contribution of Jews to the
defense effort should be encour-
aged. However, the emergency
need for technically trained work-
ers should not be obscured by the

long-trm desirability of mechani-
cal work as a vocation for large
numbers of young people, many
of whom have no particular me-
chanical aptitude.
The Jewish Vocational Service
is somewhat handicapped in its
attempts to place the refugee be-
cause of an increasingly strong
atmosphere operating against the
"enemy alien". Several have al-
ready lost their jobs, because of
misinterpretation and misunder-
standing of "alien" employment
regulations.
Refugees can contribute to es-
sential production, fill in those
gaps made vacant in consumer
fields by the transfer of citizens
to defense production, and there-
fore, should be directed to jobs
in which they can be most useful.
This type of placement, some-
times possible on,iy after retrain-
ing, requires additional energy,
patience, skill and initiative on
the part of the Jewish Vocational
Service workers.
"In addition to intensifying its
guidance and placement efforts
and activities, the Jewish Voca-
tional Service must cooperate
with other communal agencies,
governmental and private, toward
a solution of the problems which
will face the whole community
during the days to come", M. Wil-
liam Weinberg, director of the
service, stated.

Joint Distribution Committee,
United Palestine Appeal and Na-
tional Refugee Service.
In issuing the formal an-
nouncement of the renewal of
the agreement for a combined
campaign in 1942 for overseas
war relief, upbuilding and de-
fense of the Jewish homeland in
Palestine and assistance to refu-
gees who have found a haven in
the United States, the national
leaders emphasized that "through
American Jewry's united effort to
help Jews throughout the world
who are victims of Nazi oppres-
sion and aggression, the far-flung
front for democracy will be
strengthened."
Following the precedent estab-
lished in previous years, it was
agreed that an initial sum of
$9,100,000 be appropriated to the
three agencies to enable them to
operate until an allotment com-
mittee shall have had an oppor-
tunity to distribute all funds
that will become available to the
campaign. This initial sum is to
be allotted to the participating
organizations as follows: To the
Joint Distribution Committee,
$4,525,000, to the United Pales-
tine Appeal, $2,575,000, and to
the National Refugee Service a
guaranteed sum of $2,000,000.
On this basis the balance of the
funds is to be distributed between
the Joint Distribution Commit-
tee and the United Palestine Ap-
peal by the Allotment Commit-
tee established along the lines of
similar committees in previous
years.
Declaring that since the out-
break of the war in September,
1939, the agencies represented in
the United Jewish Appeal have
been confronted with an ever-
expanding theater of Jewish suf-
fering and need, the joint state-
ment by Dr. Wise and Dr. Silver
stressed the fact that America's
entry into the war has imposed
upon the Joint Distribution Com-
mittee, United Palestine Appeal
and National Refugee Service
even greater responsibilities, re-
quiring them to conduct their
operations on a full wartime
basis.
Dr. Silver and Dr. Wise ex-
pressed their appreciation to
David Watchmaker of Boston and
Sidney Hollander of Baltimore,
acting for the Council of Jewish
Federations and Welfare Funds,
for their cooperation in the ne-
gotiations leading to the renewal
of the United Jewish Appeal for
1942.
Foundation of a new credit
cooperative for Jewish immigrants
in cuador with the aid of the
Joint Distribution Committee, was
announced by Joseph C. Hyman,
executive vice-chairman of the
J. D. C.
At the same time Mr. Hyman
reported that the J. D. C. had
carried through an unprecedented
arrangement which enabled 150
immigrants to reach countries in
Western South America without
traversing the Panama Canal,
which is barred to German na-
tionals.

old men and children, Jews, Rus-
sians and Ukranians were killed,
he asserted. At the Jewish ceme-
term in Kiev, which is the larg-
est city in the Ukraine, great
numbers of Jews were lined up
and shot with automatics by the
Germans. Refugees from Kiev
told this grim story: "All of them
(Jewish men, women and chil-
dren) were stripped naked and
beaten up. The first group of
people selected for shooting was
forced to lie on the bottom of a
ditch faces down, and was shot
with automatic rifles. Then the
Germans threw a little earth
over them. The next group, of
people awaiting execution was put
on top of them in a second
layer and shot, and so on."
Molotov's note revealed simi-
lar tales of cruelty as having
taken place in the Kamenetz-
Podolsk area, in Mariupol, i n
Kerch and Rostov.
The U. S. S. R., the Foreign
Commissar said, is keeping a
record of these atrocities, and
pledged retribution. He declared
it was the Soviet Union's duty to
"bring to the knowledge of all
civilized humanity and all honest
people in the world the fact il-
lustrating monstrous crimes com-
mitted by Hitler's army."
The Russian press has also
reported that many of the Ger-
man prisoners taken by the Rus-
