When instances of discrimina-
tion are reported to the Jewish
Community Council action is
taken immediately to secure re-
dress. The facts are checked and
itnvestigated carefully so that
action may be based on accurate
information. Contracts are then
made with the responsible offi-
cials of the offending firms,
whether in the employment or
executive offices. They are given
to understand the anti-democratic
and un-American character of
their policy, and are urged to
change their practice. Generally
it has been found that such an
approach by the Community
Council, acting in the name of
the organized Jewish community,
produces results. If the firm re-
