Most U.S. Jews
Will Stay Liberal,
Task Force Feels
WRICANITORIDCAIC<>1211:‹AlICKAIIK 341tRK:'00
NEW YORK (JTA) — A task
force of scholars and community
relations experts studying inter-
group relations in America has
predicted that a majority of Amer-
ican Jews probably would con-
tinue their involvement in the
liberal coalition during the 19705
despite a serious erosion of the
traditionally liberal position of
Jews in the decade recently ended.
The 111-page study titled "Group
Life in America" was prepared
for the American Jewish Commit-
tee and published by its Institute
of Human Relations.
Prof. Seymour M. Lipset, pro-
fessor of government at Harvard,
authored the report based on the
task force study.
Prof. Upset conceded that Jews
are torn between Jewish values
which breed a liberal orienta-
tion and Jewish interests which
sometimes tug toward the con-
servative camp.
He said it was his opinion and
that of the task force that values
will ultimately prevail over self-
interest. He said one basis for that
prognostication was the fact that
better educated, more affluent
Jews tended to be more liberal.
Since Jews are the best edil-
rated ethnic group in America, it
followed that a majority of Jews
are better educated and hence,
liberal, he said.
Another basis for predicting
Jewish loyalty to liberalism in the
long run he said was the Jews'
long historic memory which warns
them instinctively against anti-
liberal political movements. Prof .
Lipset said that even though he
felt the Nixon administration may
have done more for Israel than
previous administrations, many
Jews cannot believe that a con-
servative. Republican "Wasp"
would be better for the Jews in
the long run.
Lipset recalled that Nixon go:
only 15 per cent of the Jewish
vote in 1968 and predicted that hi ,
would get no more than 30 per
cent in 1972.
Abrams described American
Jews as more issue-oriented than
other groups. He said that while
Jewish ties with liberalism had
been "strained" they were far
from breaking.
The task force agreed that the
Jewish community was threatened
with a revival of anti-Semitism
and that Jews therefore must con-
tinue to be concerned with prob-
lems of defense and the elimina-
tion of prejudice. For this reason,
Jewish groups constantly strive to
build coalitions with other ethnic
groups.
