Ito control md nnslt through the powes
|ef public exposure.
TIE war gains and the peace gains,
which, to the loaoT Il mankind, are to
accrue to lssae,, Day yet be lost un-
hess Ia the cauAse Of truth md justice
we are as vislinpt as are the unslscp-
Ing fses Of honor and righteousness. In
order t. he truly serviceabie the Amer
lean Jewish Congress- aust be free, and
free 1t h, without bonds or commit
meat other than to further the we'll
being Of the Jew.
The Congress is no place for Jewish
partisanship or sectarianism. Israel Is
wide and cntholic enough to welcome
within It's councils all Jews, who bear
theip name with pride and their bur-
deps with dignity. We are not part.
ners. Within divided Jewry but we
wvssld be ffAskly and eagerly partisan
for UnsieSl Israel. Our motto must be
l-oothing that Is of interest to the
well-being and honor of Israel is out
side the range of bur collective con.
cern and solicitude as American Jews.
We believe that the American Jew
ish Congress 'can render service to the
Jews, but 1t were the part of the deina-
gOgue pure and simple to intimate that
the Congress can or will achieve mir
acles. Immeasurable and even mir
aculous hurt may be done in an hour,
hut laborious years alone achieve the
unmiraculous good.
The American Jewish Congress will
achieve and can achieve no more for
Israel at home and abroad than is
made possible by the effort and the gen.
erosity, the wisdom and the sacrifices
IT the Jewish people. The mountebank
and the temaeosus promise untold and
unearned benefits to the people. The
wisdom OF statesmanship moves peo-
pie to serve itself. No miracle like
the miracle wrought by peoples self
reverence and self f-help!
The Congress means that the Ameri-
can Jew. as becomes Jew and Ameri-
can, is resolved to act in truly demo-
cratic manner In the matter of guiding
his own affairs. Answering those who
sncer at mObocracy. we insist with all
humility that a people, which has in
some part known for many centuries
the responsibility of democratic and au-
toncmous life. Is not to be written down
la mob because II prefers the hard and
thorny wny Of sesf direction to he
primrose path Of acceptance of favOrs
from within or without Israel.
Whether thd Congress is to be will
depend not upon the unanimous pas
sagc OF resolutions hut upon the res
|olutcness OIL the morrow of the indi-
vidual Jew.
