Civil Liberties
Will Sponsor A
Conference

On Saturday, October 10Th, at the
Enoch Pratt Free Library, Mulberry
and Cathedral Streets. The Mary
land Civil Liberties Committee is
sponsoring a one day conference on
a question which now absorbs the in
terest of Americans in every walk
of life. "Civil Liberties in a Nation
al Emergency" is the topic which will
be discussed by group of men and
women chosen from all walks of life,
who, by nature of their daily activities
and personal sense of civic response
bility are highly qualified.
To what extent does the National
emergency require restrictions on our
civil rights? Where is the Fifth
Column, and is the very name being
used to create hysteria by those who
would stablish minority rule without
benefit of civil liberties? Illumina-
ting questions such as these will be
discussed by such interesting and
informed speakers as Judge EN-
DRY H. Niles, Supreme Bench
of Baltimore; Mrs. William Bau-
ernschmidt, Mr.. Elbridge Sib-
ley, Secretary of Selective Service
Committee, Washington; DR.. Arthur
o. Lovejoy, Professor Emeritus Johns
Hopkins University; Mr.. Brendon
Sexton, Steel Workers Organizing
Committee; DR.. Frank Kingdom,
Emergency Rescue Committee for Re-
fugees; Mr.. Paul Comfy French, Sec
rotary, Friends War Problems Com
mittee, Philadelphia; Major General
Milton A. Reckord, Commanding Cen
eral of Maryland National Guard; Mr..
Thomas j. Dodd, Department of JUS
tice, Washington and others.
The Conference will be held in
three sessions: 1890, 2:30 and $3.50.
The public is invited at no charge
and a record attendance is expected.

Democracy Among Jews

Jews in America constitute democratic group within

seeking preserve minority rights throughout the nation
that form of government be safe for group differ
so does Jewish democracy seek to bring harmony
uny mOng the heterogeneous individuals constituting
American Jewry.
And Just as American democracy depends tolerance
liberty freedom and equality, must we Jews among our
selves exercise these fundamental principles in order to ar
tain kindred spirit among the children of Israel which ha
through many centuries made ndestrucbe people.
Carrying along this idea further, since national demO
1acy calls for cooperation of ideals between various group
and Jewish democracy demands concerted action among
dividuas we can that each Jew is within himself an ell
men comparable to group within democratic entity.
Generally speaking individuals constituting particular
group have much the same ideals.
Among Jews, however, find that individuals differ
many many respects although this statement shock
some of Gentle friends who usually under the i'm
preston that Jews viewpoint anything holds true TO
all members of our people.
YET although specifically may be alarmed at GU
utter lack of homogenety this is really healthy sign
long individual Jews think differently about problem
capable of solving them providing OF course thel
opportunity for controversial discussion permitting arg
mens which bring truths Thus through the democrat
process Jews within democracy may also find the sol
tons to present difficulties.
