GUEST EDITORIAL

An Approach to Jewi sh Unity

By JULIAN H. KROLIK

The prospect of forming one central agency for all
'civic protective activities was the high point of interest and
vigorous discussion at the assembly of the Council of Jew-
ish Welfare Federations and. Funds, held last week-end in
Cleveland. Plans to merge the civic protective work of the
Anti-Defamation League, American Jewish • Congress,
American Jewish Committee and Jewish Labor Commit-
tee, were formally presented in a report read by Sidney
Hollander of Baltimore, the president of the Council and
chairman of the committee appointed last year to go into
this matter.
For a number of years, many of those interested in
Jewish community problems have felt that the functioning
of four more or less competing, and overlapping civic pro-
tective organizations, was thoroughly uadesirable. There
was the waste of funds in several money raising cam-
paigns. Operating costs could be greatly reduced if there
were co-operation instead of competition and _overlapping.
Much more important even than the money waste, was the
conflicting representation of Jewish problems to public
authorities. That tended to paralyze many efforts, which
if presented by a united front, might have produced defi-
nitely constructive results.
.*
The first step which gave promise of success in this
direction, was a meeting called in 1938 by Edgar J. Kauf-
mann of Pittsburgh. Here, representatives of these four
agencies organized the General Jewish Council. Later, the
American Jewish Congress withdrew and the Council
became ineffective. The agencies continued to function
independently and, to some extent, competitively as be-
fore, though the American Jewish Committee and Anti-
Defamation League have for a year had some kind of a
working arrangement.

President Roosevelt's last report on the state of the nation calls for
one major obligation on the part of all of us: to put our shoulders to
the wheel and to assist in every effort to guarantee victory for the
American way of life.
