THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
on their behalf the world over . . . Dr. Goldmann has accused the
American Jewish Committee of "acting on its own" in domestic and
overseas programs . . . The American Jewish Committee leaders
take the attitude in their statement that no single organization can
presume to represent all the Jews of the United States, let alone all
the Jews of the world ... In their opinion, any organization which
claims such representation, however composed, "deludes itself and
misleads those to whom such claims are addressed" . . . These
leaders believe that the Jews in the United States, and in other
countries, while sharing a common bond of religion an dtradition,
differ on social, economic and political issues, both domestic and
international . . . They therefore are of the opinion that a unified
voice would stifle this diversity of outlook and interest, and could
result in a "disservice" to Jewry . . . They point to the fact that
the American Jewish Committee has cooperated closely on specific
projects with other Jewish organizations in the effective pursuit of
common goals . . . And they cite as example the cooperative efforts
to liberalize the U.S. immigration laws, the work in the Conference
on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, in the American Jew-
ish Conference on Soviet Jewry, and in the approach to the problem
of the Arab boycott against American firms doing business with Is-
rael . . . However, they stress again and again that the American
Jewish Committee will continue to oppose any move to establish "an
all-purpose umbrella organization" designed to speak with one voice
for all Jews in the United States or throughout the world, because
it considers such moves as "ill-advised or ill-disguised efforts of
power aggrandizement."
Participants in the program will
include Movsas Goldoftas, Cantor
Harold Orbach and Philip Slom-
ovitz.
