Jews Abandon Passive
Attitude of Rosenwald

PARIS.-(ANP) - Laying aside
their attitude of ignoring world
wide Jew-baiting, Semitic leaders
of all nations will hold congress
here in August to discuss ways and
means of combating the current
wave of feeling against them which
they consider the outgrowth of the
attitude of Adolf Hitler in Ger
many.
Previously leaders, influenced by
julius Rosenwald, had ignored Jew
batting. 1t was Rosenwald who de-
clared the proper procedure was to
forget these attacks and go quietly
ahead in some field of achievement,
showing by deeds what the race
could do. He advocated the same
practice for Negroes, opposing con-
slant protests made by colored peo-
pie.
This congress, however, is con-
sidered an about-face in this atti-
tude. Organization of various indie
pendent Jewish bodies into one
centrally controlled unit is impera-
tive, according to Louis Lipsky,
honorary president of the Zionist
Organization of America, if the
fight against anti-Semitism is to be
carried on effectively.

living for Negro farmers will be
elevated, especially in communi-

jects are being rapidly pushed
The collection and dissemination
Of agricultural news and informa-
ton through a weekly broadcast
from Tuskegee Institute and de-

owners were among the matters
proposed.

From the very beginning OF the
