Warning: Destructive Forces
At Work to Mislead Merchants
-•
By Racketeering Solicitations
The Anierican Association of English-Jewish Newspapers,
representing the responsible Jewish weeklies in American
Jewish communities, this week found it necessary once
again to warn American Jewry to be on guard against the
invasions of our communities by irresponsible solicitors for
newspapers or magazines which have limited circulations in
their own communities and practically no circulations in the
communities they invade.
Pointing out that these solicitors in many instances play
on the sentiments of merchants and community leaders, the
publishers' association appeals, in its message* of warhing,
for support of newspapers in respective communities. It
urges that unethical solicitations should be exposed and sug-
gests that the best way of "beating the rackets" is by refus-
ing either to subscribe to such publications or to insert ad-
vertising in their columns. The Association's statement
declares:
"Unethical solicitors for subscriptions and advertising in
periodicals that have no circulation in communities now
being invaded, on the eve of Rosh Hashanah, indicate that
an outrageous racketeering scheme which was curbed for a
time by U. S. Postal authorities again is in evidence. Such
practices disgrace our position among non-Jews who are
being misled by solicitors and who are confused into believ-
ing that the invading solicitors represent local publications.
The position of English-Jewish weekly newspapers has been
harmed by such practices, with the result that advertisers,
in all innocence, have told the responsible Jewish periodicals:
`A plague on all your houses.' Nothing more harmful could
possibly occur in our communities.
"By encouraging unethical advertising and subscription
solicitations, the existing newspapers which serve their com-
munities loyally, every week, are seriously hurt. In the best
interests of sound community life, we urge our responsible
leaders to discourage such tactics and we invite the cooper-
ation of all Jewish communities in putting an end to such
racketeering."

3rd, 4th Maccabee Book
Published by Dropsie
The Third and Fourth Books
of Maccabees, third issue in the
series of Jewish Apocryphal Lit-
erature, has just been released.
Sponsored by Dropsie College,
the series has gained the repu-
tation of being one of the most
valuable scholarly projects.
The latest edition was edited .
and translated by Moses *Hadas,
associate professor of Greek and
latin at Columbia University
and author of "A History of
Greek Literature."
The Third Book of Maccabe es
is a non-canonical work found
in many but not all manuscripts
of the Septuagint and gives an
account of events involving,
Egyptian Jewry which are pur-
ported to have taken place un-
der King Ptolemy IV Philopator
(221-204 BC). It exposes the evil
of race hatred and its preor-
dained doom.
The Fourth Book is the work
of edification and devotion.
