"One of the dangers tn America is
that those who come here will brenk
with their past. People need some
thing to which they can tie. They
need that Obedience which IL only born
of reverence. The sentiment of rev.
erence comes only from knowledge.
There Is room in our country for every
thing that IL good; there Is no restraint
here save against evil. Those who
come to our shores must bring what
they have which is good with them

expresses the belief that the general
welfare. of the State will be promoted
by increased membership In Jewish or
ganizatiOns. Governor Miller states:
,"If our government Is to he al con-
tinued success. It IL necessary that we
have men Of the highest character and
integrity IN whose lands we may place
the reign of power. To a great ex-
tent. character Is founded upon relig-
iOus training we receive in our youth
When a man fOresakes the religion Of
his fathers and lets all religious In
fuence go ont of his life. there Is apt
to be lowering Of the high quality
of character that has been known to
exist within this particular individual.
If, on the other hand. the man re-
mains true to the high religious ideals
that have been installed ii~ him in his
early days. he he Jew or Gentle. l an,
sure that we need have no fear Of the
type of man who is to come forward
to conduct our governmental activi-
ties"
Mayor Hylan's letter is in part as
follows:
"There can scarcely l9 n most be1e-
ficent object than the directing OF
young people in the path of upright
citizenship. This is a useful. patriotic
and humane service. II is commend
able and worthy of expansion. The
opportunities to he afforded by the con-
ference should strike IL responsive
chord in the heart of our Jewish youth
with resultant advantage to the in
dividual and to the country.
Permit me TO extend through. you.
