Whatever t h e achievements
of the Jewish World Congress
and the significance of its pre-
vious international sessions and
the gathering recently held in
Geneva, it is at any rate cer-
tain that it has set the style of
world-wide gatherings.
The meetings themselves pro-
duce controversies and commo-
tons but the mere convening of
such assemblies no longer
arouses storms of opposition and
apprehensions of c a 1 a m f t y.
After the original meeting of
the World Jewish Congress in
1936 there was a world congress
of Polish Jews, later of Jewish
physicians, leaders of Jewish
centers, delegates of Sephardic
Jews, leaders of Progressive Ju-
daism, representatives of He-
brew Culture, etc.
At any rate, the congresses
came into style and the Ameri-
can Jewish Committee no longer
storms against these gatherings
as it did in 1927 when the old
Committee of Jewish Delegations
was being reorganized in Zurich
and again when the World Con-
gress itself was being established
in Geneva in 193g. Far from
attacking international gather-
ings, the Committee itself has
engaged in activities involving

different countries and in some
it has established offices.
Finally, the special consulta-
tions and deliberations extend-
ing to different countries that
were , carried on in connection
with the reparations agreement
between Israel and Germany
and in pursuit of the other resti-
tutions undertakings have given
__special meaning and sanction to
enterprises of an international
character.

The stern visaged Jewish
Committee has r.e cently re-
laxed to such an extent in its
position on the subject of - inter-
country endeavor that its atti-
tude has taken a humorous turn
when it sent its own Yiddish
poet laureate, Eleazer Green-
berg, to a conference of the In-
ternational Pen Clubs at Dublin
where he pleaded for the recog-
nition of Yiddish - once - ana-
thema—and the literature of all
small nations.
The diminutive proportions of
some of the world gatherings
has brought out another touch
of comedy reflected in a conver-
sation between two patriarchal
denizens of the lower East Side
of New York. "T611 me," asks
one, "what is the difference be-
tween the World Congress and
a 'minion'?" "I don't know, says
the other, "I don't think there
is any difference at all."
