Washington, d. c., April l3, 1921.
To the Members Of the Central Con-
ference Of American Rabbis:
Fortunately, however, though l am
no more blind than others TO the ris-
ing tide Of anti-Semitism, l feel JUS
titled in speaking word Of great en-
couragement and Of high hope at this
time. ! am convinced, as all must be,
who do not content themselves with
observing conditions merely superb
cially, that as a result Of the attacks
that have been directed against US,
there has been born within the Jew
himself keener self-consciousness,
a finer appreciation Of his part and
place in life, more intense Jewish
ness, and an ADLER conservation to the
task with which through the ages he
has been entrusted.
make the assertion without fear
Of successful contradiction, that today
there are more Jews in America con-
scious Of the dignity Of being Jews
than there have ever been before; that
there prevails among our people less
Of q sense Of martyrdom and more Of
q sense Of spiritual mastery; that
there are more Jews willing to make
high sacrifices for their fathers faith
than there have been for many years;

Conditions Abroad.
In sad and striking contrast to this
hopeful note which may be sounded
as to the condition Of the Jew in our
beloved country, is the pitiable tale
that must be told about the sufferings
Of our brethren abroad. Words are too
weak to describe the penury and the
poverty, the suffering, moral and ply
sical, Of which our brethren across
the seas continue To be the hapless
victims.
Should Il be found that because Of
lack Of means or for any other reason
the Joint Distribution Committee
shall not be in position to continue to
provide adequately for the mainten-
ance Of the rabbis and scholars
abroad, we recommend that this Con-
