ATLER JOSEPH MOSTEN The Finest of Its Kind On Dexter 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- Greetings of the Season! 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- Your Purchase of Bonds and Stamps 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!
