THE DENVER JEWISH NEWS "

OF government but whom i cannot, for
obvious reasons, quote. Let me give II
brief summary of their views:
First and foremost, it is of the
greatest Importance that no political
party should regard the Jewish vote
us IA pawn in its .hands--its exclusive
property. The Jewish vote shall he an
intelligent discriminating vote to be
captured by that candidate or organi
zation whose attitude and policies are
calculated to serve best-nOt any Jew
ish interests alone. mind you-but the
interests of the electorate at large. The
sad estate to which the so-called
southern states vote and the negro
vote have fallen, the first one having
been regarded as sure democratic,
and the latter as II fixed republican
asset is the strongest evidence of the
wisdom of that admOnition. Altho the
history of America is a history OF
parties. yet the time Is fast approach
ing when it will be considered re-
Election on IL voters intelligence to be
labelled as the hereditary property of
this or that party, even if that party
in its inception is surrounded by Il
halo of idealism and its followers
look up to it as Il religion as in the
case of the socialists.
Second. it is of equal Importance
that the Jewish voter do not regard
the issues from the narrow racial
point of view but should always defer
TO the general and national welfare.
Even in case where the considera-
tions merely preponderate ON the side
OF the national welfare as against the
individual or racial choice. the Jew
should exercise ii degree of self-abne-
CATION and add his weight on the SIDE
that has in view the common good.
He must especially be careful not to
permit himself to be beguiled by al!
appeal to his rconceit by means of race
flattery. an art much in practice by
politicians.
Yet. the above formula should be
qualified by the statement that where
the common interest will he equally
served. preference should. in the ma
ture of things. he given to the cause
party or Individual who best serves
our interests and is friendly to Us
as Jews The doctrine of the New
Testament which enjOins you to extend

cd even by Christians. 1t is not mere
ly our privilege but our clear duty
to he on the alert in defense of oui
rights as Jews and at the proper time
to make our political influence fell
in such a way as to encourage oui
friends and cause our traducers tc

Al the October meeting of the exc
cutivc committee OF the Jewish We'll
fare Board. several demands for i'm
portunt extensions of the work of the
board were discussed and voted on.
A report was received from II COM
mittec which has been conducting an
extensive investigation. in cooperation
with Y. NJ. &. \. authorities. with II
view to extending the welfare field
of the board into the big industrial
war work plants. 1t was voted to
begin this work at the big ship build
ing yards at Hog Island and Bristol
Pa There are several thousand Jews
ut these plants. Field workers of
the j. w. Il. will take up their tasks
there Immediately.
II was also decided to take up wei
fare work among the thousands of
women who have thronged to Wash

man of n committee. has been inves-
tigating the Washington field. report
ed that it was impossible to rent
suitable house for II woman's welfare
center at the capital. but that Il hand
some and commodious residence could
he purcha ased at Scott Circle. 1t was
decided to purchase this house if I'M
mediate occupancy could be had.
Plans were laid for an extension
of work among the students army
training corps in New York City. There
are three of these corps in the city:
at the City College. New York Uni
vcrsity and Columbia. with an aggre-
gate attendance Of about G.O0O young
men. At the City College so pcr
cent of the training corps students
are Jews. at New York University 10
per cent. and at Columbia % per cent.
Rabbi David de Sola Pool. chair
man of the special committee for
Student Army Training Corps work, re-
ported that the needs of the boys
were largely religious and intellectual,
and there was also n steady need for
home hospitality. At the City Col
lcge. where Il large percentage of the
Jewish boys come from orthodox fam
lilies the question of Kosher food is
n serious one. The military authori-
ties at the college are giving en-
couragemcnt to the committee in its
plans to assure Kosher meals for the
boyS.
The first annual meeting of the
Jewish Welfare Board will he held in

What possible connection is there
between the Jewish vote in the several
states and Washington: is query
that the war or district politician will
ask in resentful tone. He will rc'
gard the mere suggestion of any rcla'
ton of one to the other as an at-
tempt to invade his own sacred pre-
cinct and an umjustified interference
with his prerogatiye to use the Jewish
vote for his immediate sinister pur-
poses.
Nevertheless, 1t would be difficult
to cxaggerate by spoken or written
