service organizations — likewise
attracted by their topical value
and humorous content — have
given vital circulation to these
pieces.
Special reprints of articles and
booklets of a religious or scholar-
ly appeal are issued regularly by
the A. D. L., and are utilized in
a practical manner by • students,
research workers, churchmen and
editors. Much of the material dis-
tributed through our efforts is
subsequently utilized in the form
of sermons, editorials and books.
Recognizing in the daily press
a potent medium for reaching
thousands, the Anti-Defamation
League closely collaborated in the
preparation of certain press fea-
tures to be incorporated into the
programs of organizations engag-
ed in "selling democracy" to the
American public. Striking illus-
trations and short but pungent
copy keynote these full-page dis-
plays which are under-written by
business firms and institutions as
a patriotic act.
The role played by Americans
of all races and faiths are strik-
ingly depicted in these full-page
displays, which cannot but thrill
readers who get a new insight
into the "melting pot" provided
by the American armed forces.
In the radio field, substantial
help is given to the producers of
programs — network and local —
which dramatically present mov
ing scenes of American demo-
cratic living. Radio is one of the
great forces of education today.
League speakers reach millions
of listeners annually by radio.
Through the excellent research
facilities of the Anti-Defamation
League, the producers of out-
standing radio shows with demo-
cratic themes receive factual,
documented material on short
notice. The Fact-Finding depart-
ment of the A. D. L. provides
authentic material on subversive
activities, utilized on programs
exposing the Fifth Column and
methods of Axis espionage, in-
cluding psychological warfare.
In the coming year radio will
occupy more and more of our
time as we listen to blow-by-blow
descriptions of the battle for Hit-
ler's European Fortress. But
while spot news is an unfailing
magnet for all of us, we must re-
member that the decent world of
tomorrow must have its under-
pinnings in today's lessons for
democratic living — and the job
is only half-done when radio's
education potentialities are not
used to the fullest. To interpret
the crashing events of the day in
terms of democratic living is the
nurpose of League speakers util-
izing the radio and those who co-
operate with us in providing dra-
matic and helpful wartime radio
programs.
Political anti-Semitism is a
menace which must be crushed
promptly whenever it shows its
head. But social discrimination
and economic barriers against
minorities are evils which can be
altered only by patient effort and
understanding programs designed
to minimize discrimination
through a long-range program of
education for good-will.
That is the function of the
A. D. L.'s Community Service
Department, inaugurated in war-

time by the League to meet the
needs of communities having
problems aggravated by wartime
conditions. Unfair accusations
taxing Jewish merchants with
profiteering, scurrilous charges of
favoritism allegedly shown Jew-
ish selectees by draft boards, and
discrimination against Jews in
resorts, newspaper ads, war
plants, employment agencies and
schools, all fall within the prov-
ince of Community Service activi-
ties.
Sound public relations pro-
grams are offered to community
leaders by the A. D. L., each pro-
gram conceived to meet specific
situations. For example, the same
complex interfaith program offer-
ed to Detroit — a tinder-box of
racial and religious animosities—
would not be urged upon a malt
Ohio city predominantly agricul-
tural in make-up. The industrial.
economic and racial aspects of a
metropolis are considered in the
preparation of civic programs by
our Community Service special-
ists.
Rosh Hashanah 5704 should
serve as both a challenge and a
beacon light to us. Admittedly,
evil forces are at work to pin re-
sponsibility for the world's strug-
gle upon the Jewish people of
America—a technique which once
proved successful in Nazi Ger-

many when aimed at the Jews of
that country. But we can block
the subversivists practicing this
technique by a forthright public
relations program which will
leave no mystery about the Jews
and Judaism in the minds of the
city man, the farmer, the soldier,
the mechanic, the student.
Tyranny is old. Democracy is
young. Because we Jews can be
normal, self-respecting human
beings only in the free air of de-
mocracy, and because we want
this blessing for all men in the
world, it behooves us to be de-
mocracy's champions at every
turn of the road — lest some sly
group with more to gain from
autocracy than democracy at-
tempt to sell its vicious pana-
ceas to a people weary of war
and struggle.
That is the challenge provided
the vigorous, alert Jewish com-
munity of the United States on
this significant holiday of our
people!
