World Parley Attacks
Shechitha as 'Immoral'

THE HAGUE, (JTA)—Del-
egates from 26 countries, by
a 90 per cent majority, voted
to condemn Shechitha, the
Jewish ritual slaughter of
animals, as "cruel" and "im-
moral."
'The delegates from 116 As-
sociations for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals ap-
proved a charge made by H.
Kuehnle, of Switzerland, that
Jewish ritual animal slaugh-
ter was "out of date, cruel
toward animals and an im-
moral act."
The conference decided to
set up a permanent world
organization for the protec-
tion of animals.

Rabbi Glazer Views Jewry's 5711 Status

Dr. B. Benedict Glazer, rabbi
of Temple Beth El, in a Rosh
Hashanah statement evaluates
Jewry's position in 5711. Dr.
Glazer declares:
We are living in an era of
tragedy. In many ways the
sorrowful predicament of mod-
em man is brought home to
us with sickening clarity. On
the one hand, there are world-
wide agencies of sanity, decency
and morality that seek to up-
hold the possibilities of abund-
ant and hopeful living for all
men. In opposition to these life
affirming forces are the machi-
nations of those who believe
that the way to salvation is
through tyranny, destruction
and death. After five years of
so-called cold war, American
soldiers are killing and being
killed by the confused creatures
of a gigantic and ruthless police
state.
There is a nightmarish qual-
ity attached to almost every-
thing we hear and read on the
nature of the present crisis.
In the face of the present
threat to reason and humanity,
what should our own attitude
be? In the first place, we.must
in every possible way place the
welfare of our beloved country
above selfish motivations. There
is too much at stake for citizens
to be guided by any standard
less worthy than the highest
patriotic principles. Our na-
tional character and morale will
suffer irreparably if too many
Americans are routed by the
hysteria and panic which char,
acterized the recent orgy of

hoarding. This is a time for
greatness and not for littleness
of spirit.
Furthermore, I believe that
now, more than ever before, we
must re-affirm our faith in
those basic convictions and '
ideals which- lie at the heart of
our American democracy, and
which distinguish our way of
life from that of the modern
police state.
As we assemble in our Houses
of Worship during this High
Holy Day season, we shall find
that every prayer we utter em-
phasizes and reinforces the
fundamental moral precepts of
democracy. We shall again learn
that for 3,000 years the people
and the faith of Israel have
been teachers of faith, reason,
morality and freedom. May we
enter our spiritual home at this
season of the year with recep-
tive hearts, and go forth
strengthened in our will to be
sources of strength and inspira-
tion to our nation in its hour of
greatest trial.
May God grant to you and
all your dear ones a New Year
of health, happiness and
achievement. May He in His
mercy bring healing and peace
unto all mankind.

NEW YORK — (JTA)—Large-
scale expansion of agricultural
and industry is necessary to
solve Israel's foreign exchange
problems arrd enable the nation
to become self-supporting, Har-
old Glasser, director of - the
Council of Jewish Federation
and Welfare Funds Institute on
Overseas Studies, reported from
Tel Aviv. Glasser points out that
Israel can achieve a sound eco-
nomic basis only through reduc-
ing its reliance on imports.
To strengthen its foreign ex-
change position, Israel has in-
itiated a system of import con-
trols designed to reduce the gap
of $200,000,000 resulting from an
unfavorable 1949 import-export
balance, he explained; Israel's
majort problem is the need for
"hard currency," to purchase
raw materials and machinery
from the United States, and to
make advantageous trade agree-
ments - in Europe.
"If there is a decline in the
yield from American philanthro-
pic campaigns, by _ far the
largest source of dollars, and if
private investment funds do not
materialize on a. larger scale,
there will be a serious problem
from Israel's inability to buy
the 'right things in the right
places at the right time," he
stated.
Concern over Israel's econom-
ic future, Glasser said, arises
from the fact that it will be
using up two major sources of
foreign exchange income—the
Sterling balances and the U.S.
Export-Import Bank loan,
which will be exhausted in 1951.
These now represent $85,000,000
per year. Beyond that, the fore-
ign exchange position of Israel
must be improved to anticipate
possible declines in future levels
of philanthropy.
