JEWISH WELFARE BOARD.

Some of our friends think that we are I'M
duly alarmed about the intentions of the
Jewish Welfare Board; that we are mistak-
en- as to its intentions to become permanent,
and that the Board will disband after the
completion of mobilization. We believe that
our friends are wrong. We believe that in
the minds of the officers of the Board, there
is very well defined intention to have the
Board remain permanent. And the follow
ing resolutions will confirm our views:
Whereas, the Jewish Welfare Board has
served as unifying influence in Jewish
communal life, bringing the various ele-
ments of our communities together for SER
vice and the furtherance of Jewish ideals,
and
Whereas, the Jewish Welfare Board by
creating body of 400 trained Jewish well
fare workers and by organizing 200 Jewish
community centers throughout the country.
has made distinct contribution to organ
lied Jewish life in America, which should be
preserved for the sake of the future of
American Jewry,
"Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, by the executive committee
of the Washington branch of the Jewish
Welfare Board that the Jewish Welfare
Board has justified the high hopes of its
founders and that we call upon the national
executive committee to take steps looking
towards the formation of comprehensive
national organization that will serve, in
times of peace, the interests of both Ameri-
canism and Judaism, and be it further
Resolved, that copies of this resolution
be sent to the national executive commit
tee and the local executive committee and
the local branches of the Jewish Welfare
Board throughout the country for consid-
GRAFTON and action"
The resolution, sent by the Washington
Board to every local branch of the Board,
doubtless has the sanction of the New York
office. We recall that the name of the Wash.
ington representative of the Jewish Welfare
Board was affixed to the resolution, besides
that of the chairman of the local branch

The Jewish Press seems already to have
taken the matter up. Our esteemed and in
fluential contemporary, the American Is
raelite, quotes portion of our recent edi-
torial and agrees with us that we are al
ready overorganized. The very fact that so
old and influential paper as the Israelite,
takes up this question and does agree with

undertaken task that is extremely import

The Allies did not win on the battle
fields of Europe by use of middling
policy OF half way efforts and neither
will such policy work in charity.

Thomas explained that in his ex-

base their work on a middling policy,
made up to a good extent of a desire
