But more awareness of these diabolic efforts must be shown by Negro leaders them- selves, many of whom have re- mained unenlightened as to the forces behind numerous efforts to create schisms in thv Negro com- munity. The Anti-Defamation League of Bnai Brith, through the spoken and written word, is working closely with Negro groups, and reports satisfactory progress in this field. Through increasing col- laboration in the improvement of Negro-Jewish relations, especially as these occur in the rental and commercial fields, we hope to do such of a constructive nature which will reduce areas of fric- tion between the two minorities and thus balk efforts to rouse racial prejudice between the two groups. Government prosecution of na- tional enemies who happen also to be enemies of the Jewish peo- ple, while gratifying, nevertheeless is not the prime answer to the problem of combatting anti-Semi- tism. Too many other elements, tangible and intangible, enter into the complicated picture of anti- racial and anti-religious agitation, to permit of easy acquiescence to tne claims of some that "our problems are solved now!" What of our planning for the post-war period? Wnat of the tremendous and unparalleled problems—chief- ly economic—which will bedevil our nation after our victory over Axis aggressors? We know now, from bitter ex- perience, that war breeds ugly passions and prejudice. But we need not be disneartened, nor suc- cumb to a mood of cynicism or uespair—for today there are nuglity voices raised on behalf of interfaith and interracial under- standing, and the blind chauvin- ism winch afflicted so many in tne first world war is lacking today. In its stead is a desire for more—not less—democracy on tne part of many of our leading statesmen, clergymen and publi- cists. We who are engaged in Jewish defense activities now find that reasonable men and women are aware that the Jew for nine long years has been used as a wnipping-boy by the totalitarians, utilized to cover up the Axis plans for sweeping world domin- ion. Jewish voices which were not heeded in the mid-'30s today are respected, for theirs are the voices of experience, the lash of Naziism having first fallen upon our min- ority. At the dawn of a new year, with the world locked in mortal combat with the beast that is Nazi-Fascism, there is much to be thankful for despite tne agon- ies, doubts, despairs and setbacks of the past year. The position of the Jewish people in America is more secure, thanks to the exposes of the vicious intriguers and propagandists utilized by Hitler to spread his doctrines of the super- race—now badly battered by the common sense of the peoples of the United Nations. The power of contrast between free institutions and tyranny has mobilized vast forces in defense of true democracy. Though the way may appear to be long and difficult, there is good reason to believe that America shall emerge from her trial purified and strengthened. Surely the prophetic voices now raised, the universal sympathy and fellowship which the mighty menace has evoked, augur for more penetrating- un- derstanding of common human needs and common human destiny in the years to come. Because the championship of decency is cour- ageous. because the voices speak- ing for social justice are clearion clear because the lovers of free- dom ale aroused to preserve their freedoms, because the spirit of our ancient faith seeking to spread the peace of life and of security is now being implement- ed in the heroic drama which flashes up universal screen, welcome the we have reaso recognition New Year, despite `6 of the omnipresent tic for srv- ice and for sacrifice. rthy We shall prove ourselves of our faith and of our nati Nazis Conscript Jews in Belgium for Slave Labor LONDON ( WNS) —Nazi auth- orities in occupied Belgium have ordered the 38,000 foreign Jews in Belgium to report for compul- sory labor in Germany, it was reported this week by the Free Belgium news agency. The agen- cy said that similar orders were issued by the Nazis in Holland 21 Appoint Committee to Allocate Funds Raised by 1942 UJA NEW YORK (WNS)—The ap- pointment of an Allotment Com- mittee to allocate funds raised by the 1942 United Jewish Appeal was announced this week by Rabbi B. Wise, chairman of the fund-raising committee of the Joint Distribution Committee, and Rabbi Hillel Silver, national chairman of the United Pales- tine Appeal. In accordance with the pro- visions of the agreement consti- tuting the 1942 United Jewish Appeal, the Allotment Committet is authorized to act on the dis- tribution of all funds raised by the United Jewish Appeal above the initial sum of $9,100,000. Funds in excess of this sum are to be distributed between the Joint Distribution Committee and the United Palestine Appeal by the Allotment Committee. The National Refugee Service re- ceived a fixed grant for the year. Following the precedent estab- lished in previous years, member- ship of the 1942 Allotment Com- mittee is composed of two rep- resentatives each of the JDC and the UPA and three representa- tives of the Jewish communities at large, selected jointly by the JDC and the UPA. Members of the Allotment Committee are James H. Becker of Chicago, and I. Edwin Goldwasser of New York, representing the JDC; Charles J. Rosenbloom of Pitts- burgh and Dr. Abba Hillel Silver of Cleveland, representing the UPA; and Joel Gross of Newark, Louis Caplan of Pittsburgh and Edwin J. Schanfarber of Colum- bus, representing the commu- nities generally. 5703 - HAPPY NEW YEAR - 1942 Cooper Axle Shaft 8 Mfg.

Accused by the liberal press of "violating the obligation of Christian neighborly love and the humanitarian duty of Switzer- land "to accept the refugees and grant them asylum, Swiss police officials announced the suspen- sion of the expulsion order after a meeting in Zurich with repre- sentatives of Jewish refugee or- ganizations. Swiss officials stated that ref- ugees who entered Switzerland after Aug. 11 and who announced themselves to the police on ar- rival, would not be expelled with- out cause. I'.
