BROTHERHOOD WEEK: Brotherhood week, which has
been observed annually throughout the United States for the last
40 years, is being observed Monday through Feb. 23. _
This is the year when anti-Semitic elements in this country,
long ineffective, are attempting to raise their ugly heads to exploit
economic dislocation for their nefarious anti-Jewish propaganda.
They consider inflation, unemployment and recession as fertile
ground for them to make a comeback to the surface of American
life.
This is also the year when Arab agents are openly seeking to
implant in the minds of Americans that Israel and American Jews
have brought about the economic crisis . . . not the raising four-fold
of the price of oil by the potentates of the Arab oil-producers.
Brotherhood Week, with its wide range of programs reaching
many millions of Americans, offers the opportunity to effectively
counteract the anti-Jewish efforts of professional anti-Semites and
of Arab agents..Its record in promoting friendship and understand-
ing between Christians and Jews in this country is very high. So is
its reputation- as an American institution dedicated to the elimina-
tion of distortions of religious and social relations among people of
all faiths.

NATIONWIDE PARTICIPATION: Created by the National
Conference of Christians and Jews in 1934, Brotherhood Week was
launched by a letter from President Roosevelt.
Brotherhood Week is now observed in more than 10,000 com-
munities, with tens of millions of Americans of all faiths partici-
pating in its projects, programs, services and celebrations.
The National Conference of Christians and Jews, which spon-
sors Brotherhood Week, was founded in 1928 when religious intol-
erance was strongly and openly preached by anti-Semitic organiza-
tions such as' the Ku-Klux Klan, the Know Nothing Party, the
American Protective Association — to name only three of the pow-
erful anti-Semitic movements of that time. The Klan alone num-
bered six million members in 1924. With the advent of Nazism in
Germany and Fascism in Italy, many pro-Nazi and pro-Fascist
groups also sprang up in the United States, all active in disseminat-
ing anti-Jewish propaganda. A list compiled in 1938 revealed the
existence of about 800 such groups in this country, each seeking to
exploit religious intolerance. Their aim was not merely to turn
Christians against Jews, but Protestants against Catholics, and
Catholics against Protestants.
The U.S. government, fully aware that dissention among reli-
gious groups constituted a threat to national unity, began to stimu-
late joint action by Catholics, Protestants and Jews for the com-
mon good. The NCCJ became a great help to-the government in this
dffort.
VATICAN GUIDELINES: The observance this year of
. tjierhood Week coincides with the Vatican Guidelines on Catho-
-J ewish relations, published last month, in which anti-Semitism
is condemned.
Although Jewish leaders are not happy over the lack of refer-
ence to the state of Israel, they consider this historic document as
instructions to the Catholic Church to root out hatred of Jews. In
their opinion, the Vatican Guidelines came at a time when hatred is
again being exploited by enemies -of the Jewish people.
It is no secret that in the recent years — since the Six-Day War
between the Arabs and Israel — the friendly relations that pre-
vailed between Christian and Jewish clergymen in the 1960s has
cooled off. Leaders of the Protestant and Catholic churches in this
country have also failed to express any sympathy for Israel after
the Yom Kippur War. It is anticipated that Brotherhood Week,
strengthened by the Vatican Guidelines, will bring about the full
resumption of friendship that existed for years.
