The new world Jewish con- gress recently called jointly by the American Jewish Committee, the Anglo-Jewish Association of Great Britain, and the Alliance Israelite Universelle, France, was no sooner over than a dispatch from Paris announced a congress of the world ORT organization, again with representatives from several countries. Two years ago, there were congresses of Jewish physicians, Sephardic Jews, and other gatherings of a similar kind. World congresses have therefore become all the rage, and while some people are en- ticed by them, others are fear- fully puzzled. Not so long ago, international gatherings were under the ban, and the American Jewish Com- mittee, 'the Anglo-Jewish Associ- ation, and other groups stormed against them. The American Jew- ish Yearbook carries pages of protest against the Congress on Minority Rights which was held in Zurich in 1927, and again in 1936 when the World Jewish Congress was being organized in Geneva. These assemblies had something to do with the demo- cratic Jewish forces that were then led by the American Jew- Zionist and identi- sh cal groups, and that made their European conclaves all the more odious. Of course, the personnel of the leadership of the American Jewish Committee is now very much changed, but there are still old timers among them whose philippics against international- ism have been perpetuated in their reports, and loom large in the annals recorded in the Amer- ican Jewish Yearbook. See es- pecially the 28th Annual Report of the Committee, appearing in the Yearbook 1935-36, page 440, wherein, under the leadership of Judge Joseph Proskauer, the world conference idea was most emphatically condemned. There is an impression Aroad that as late as a year ago, when members of the Conference on Material Claims against Ger- many were meeting in Paris, an effort was made to call a gather- ing of Jewish representatives or more general purposes. It is said that even then the American Jewish Committee declined to take part. The international gathering has now suddenly become CERTIFIED MOHEL Rev.

Most ironical of all is the thought that when Europe had a huge Jewish population which faced many problems, interna- tional gatherings were terrifying proposals and smacked of trea- son; now when these Jewish set- tlements have shrunk to insig- nificant proportions, and their community needs are pretty well taken care of by local agencies and national organizations on the spot—world congresses have be- come the most urgent demand of the hour. The most unexpetted develop- ment of all is the embarrassing position in which British Jewry has suddenly been placed. The authorized and representative body of British Jews, the Board of Deputies, has declined to join the conference called by the A. J. Committee and the Anglo-Jewish Association in the belief that these bodies represent certain exclusive and parochial ideas, and that their program did not offer anything of value to the communities in the name of which they tried to speak. Things are not what they used to be in British Jewry, and that brings to mind a number of ar- ticles printed in American Jew- ish magazines within the last two years about the decline of the venerable Jewish community of England. Though some of these articles were written by British Jewish writers like Dr. Cecil Roth, the present writer, with his long-time ael,liration for the organization of British Jewry, was disinclined to accept these pessimistic predictions. However this writer, too, could be wrong. —Bernard S. Richards Egypt Rejects British Protest Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News LONDON—Egypt has informed the British government that the master of the British freighter Anshun, which was shelled in the Straits of Akaba July 2, had failed to heed Egyptian sig- nals to identify himself and state his destination, in reply to -a British protest against the shelling of the Anshun by Egyptiari shore batteries. The Egyptian reply, _sent to the British embassy in Cairo Monday, is understood to amount to rejection of the British pro-. test. The Egypitian reply is expected to denounce what they debate in Commons when MPs on both sides of the House are expected to denounce what they call an Egyptian "outrage." Prosperity makes friends and adversity tries them. GENEVA (JTA) — An appeal to all Jewish communities and to all Jewish fund-raising organiza- tions to allocate more funds for Jewish vocational training con- ducted by the ORT was issued by World ,ORT Union headquar- ters. Dr. Aron Syngalowsky, chair- man of the world executive of the ORT, also made public the text of a declaration adopted at the recent 75th anniversary ORT Congress held here in- which ORT organizations around the world are urged "to increase their efforts in the service of Jewish work, its propagation and its cultural and technical eleva- tion." The declaration recalls "with veneration and gratitude" the founders of the ORT in 1880 and all those who had been its leaders and workers since that time, "among them the tens of thousands killed by the Germans in the years of the Hitler regime." The declaration states that having heard the repdrts of the scope of ORT's accomplishments in the last period and having heard of the size of the current tasks in North Africa and Israel and other countries, the ORT Congress established: 1. That the ORT Union has grown to be- come a significant Jewish na- tional cultural institution which occupies a very important place in Jewish communial life; 2. That the tens of thousands of youths and adults, who have since the end of the second World War created for them- selves an honorable existence with the help of the trade train- ing of ORT, have reduced the poverty among Jews, have par- ticipated in the upbuilding of Israel, and have enhanced the esteem of Jewish work; 3. That the task of teaching Jewish youth trades in accord with modern scientific and technical developments is today considered by all Jewry regardless of re- ligious or political tendency as one of the most valid command- ments of Jewish existence around the world and of the upbuilding of Israel.

A properly balanced, calorie-wise meal can go a long way towards helping keep cool, with or without weight shedding. Finest food for this purpose is Manischewitz Gefilte Fish, be- cause it is high in nourishing pro- teins, yet low in heat-producing calories. Gently seasoned to an exclusive Manischewitz recipe that enhances the lake-fresh, lus- cious flavor of choice freshwater fish, gefilte fish as Manischewitz makes it contains only '70 cal- ories per 21/2-oz. portion—just about half the number of calories cntained in a comparable serving of canned salmon or tuna fish.
