WAR PREVENTS STUDY
OF LIFE OF THE Jews
Rabbi Grossmann Presents Report Of
Special Commission to he
Central Conference.

| WILDWOOD y. J.. July S.-A spe-
cial commission on Jews of Other
! Lands" reported TO the central confer
cnce of American rabbits here today
that conditions arising through the
war in Europe had prevented the COM
mission from proceeding with Ks work.
1t had been Impossible to maintain the
necessary correspondence and there
had been no access TO sources Of !nfor-
nation. which under normal conditions
would be available.
Rabbi Louis Grossmann OF Cincinnati,
chairman of the commission. submitted
to the conference. however. number
of questions which. he said, should be
answered as to the economic. moral
and religious conditions of Jews in
other countries. as study along these
lines had an important bearing on the
status of wage-earning Jews in this
country and on the legal enactments
as to labor and imm grafton.
There need, he said. of full in
quiry as to the internal forces of Jew
| ish life. study should be made Of
what the Jews were doing toward de-
veloping schools. synagogues and COM
munities and as to what trades, occu-
pations professions Jews were now
preoccupied with or endeavoring to
| enter.
What" he asked. ARE they doing for
| themselves. for their moral. theological
and economic emancipation
What are the legal. the social, the
| prejudicial' relations of Jews with
non-Jews under the stress of govern
ments or of national and racial feeling?
Their Relations With Non-Jews.
What part have the historic feelings
of sympathy and of antipathy, on both
sides, of Jews and non-Jews, in the alb
sorption and assimilation of Jews in
the general culture and their standing
aloof from it? What effect have they
on the Americanization of the immi-
| grant Jew?
Public opinion in the United States
| with regard to the jew" he said. lis
not infrequently recrudescence of
| feelings which are foreign in origin
and character and which the moral
genius of American equity has not yet
! succeeded in, casting out"
/ He asked whether intermarriaGe be-
| tween Jews and non-Jews was an 'ap-
preciable phenomenon, whether it
| becoming more frequent and whether
it raised the standard of the Jewish
| home
| He discussed the subject of literacy
| Nothing but a scrupulous and unprei-
| udiced investigation will suffice" he
declared, either to conf1rm or to shake
| our confidence in the intellectual fit
ness of the Jewish immigrant But we
ought to know the conditions as they
| really are, so that the jew may be
proved, believe he can be. to
stand safe against the charge of il
| literacy. or, if he cannot. that may
shift the burden of guilt where it be-
longs, to the iniquity of and neglect
by his former foreign tyrannical gov
eminent"
Rabbi Grossmann suggested that after
the war it might be practicable to con-
meet Jewish charitable organizations
in America with those abroad and CO.
relate their work and their influence on
that contingent of Jews who come to
the United States.
