afoot to force dual allegiance up
on the Jew. They feared lest the
Allies have too much compassion
for the slaughter and actually give
the survivors the security of a
homeland.
AS MyOpic AS Ever
1t seemed that there was pO-
tential unaninity among Jews on
a great many points with regard
to the future of European JeWry,
with regard to Jewish postwar
demands. But some organizations,
too interested in enhancing their
own prestige to act in unanimity,
drew up their separate peace
formulas and only contributed to
the confusion. Again the thought
strikes us that the money spent
for this unnecessary SeparatiSt
activity could well have been
spent more uSefully. To some,
however, there is no highere aim
than Jewish disunity, that being
= to them - the spice of life.
From all the trials through which
ewry has passed too many Ameri-
can Jewish leaders have, with re-
gard to thought and action, emery
ed unScathed, unchanged, as myO-
pic as ever.
Culture
While some were engaged in
quarrels-as-usual, others went
about their way building quietly,
modestly, the more durable things
that are American Jewry. Dropsie
College and the Yeshiva College
announced new scholarships. The
Jewish Publication Society added
to the splendid list of its publish
ed volumes. The Union of Ameri-
can Hebrew Congregations and the
Central Conferences of American
Rabbits resisted efforts to purge"
Reform Judaism of certain new
values it has obtained during the
past two decades as a result of
reorientation and because of the
growing number of men in it's
Rabbinate alert to their respon-
sibilities and profoundly stepped
in Jewish culture. The Vaad
Hachinuch Hacharedi, Jewish Re-
ligious Educational Council of
Mizrachi, could proudly point to
its achievements in the field of
Jewish Education. The number of
Yeshivoth Ktanoth, all-day or
parochial schools, strongly sup
ported by Mizrachi, increased
during the year. B'nai Birth was
there as usual, active on many
fronts = on the campus through
the Hillel Foundations, in the war
effort = in manifold ways, at the
Oswego "freeport and everywhere
showing its versatile interests in
all that is Jewish living. The Re-
constructionist Movement continu-
ed to progress, slowly but marked
ly. I speak only of cultural ac-
Invites, and in this sphere, too,
there were many remarkable
achievements which 1 may have
omitted. May He who forgives
our bigger sin, forgive this minor
sin.

Major IsadOre MOscOvitz
(Although The Southern Jewish
Monthly is being edited by Mrs.
Isadore Moscovitz during the OBJ
sence of Major Moscovitz, who has
for the last three years served as
an Infantry officer with the Unit
ed States, letters of advice and
guidance frequently arrive from
the former editor to help steer
the publication on its course dur
ing these tumultous years.
Major MOscovitz first became
associated with Jewish Journalism
a month after he graduated from
the University of Florida and re-
ceived his Bachelor of Science De-
gree in Journalism. At that time
he became editor of the Florida
Jewish News, which was founded
by Louis MendelSOn and the late
Morris Ghelerter in 1924. Five
years later he purchased the in
tereSt of this publication and pro-
ceeded to develop its circulation
and frequently until in 1888 it
reached SOuth-wide interest and
became known as The Southern
Jewish Weekly.
The paper is now being publish
ed monthly as war economy
measure. After the war the news
paper will again resume its form
err frequency and continue to ex-
pand it's facilities so that The
Southern Jewish Weekly will
reach it's ultimate goal of having
practically every Jewish home in
the South listed as subscribers.
The following letter was receiv'
ed as the publisher prepares t.
spend ROsh HashOnah on dut!
at Camp WOIterS TeXaS:)
1t looks as if this fright
full war will at last come to sue
ceSsfuI end during the next few
months. 1t is our New Years
wish that Americans of all creedS
be returned safely to the homes
of their families and loved ones,
and that the principles for which
we have been fighting at such a
terrible cost be established not
only here in America but also
throughout the world.
"FolloWing the war there will
be a greater need than ever for
a newspaper such as this to take
an aggressive part in champion
ing the cause of freedom and JUS
tice for the Jewish minority
group as an integral part of the
American nation.

cit is true that ours is parti-

it is also true that the fight for
Justice for a part of the world is
a battle for all humanity. In
this sense the AnglO-Jewish Press
cannot be called partisan, for OPP

citizens is a blow to the very
foundation which have made our
nation great.

commissions OF winch American
Jewry has been guilty. A great
deal of money has been spent by
Jewish organizations during the
year for fighting each other. If
goodly portion of that money had
been diverted to the rescue of the
Jews of Europe, for "corrupting"
Nazi officials and satellite border
guards, for the chartering of addi-
tional boats, more Jews might
have been saved from Hitler's
trap. If some of the monies spent
on so-called public relations,
which to frequently consists of
building up" personalities, had
been spent for the rescue of Eu-
ropes Jews, we would today be
less guilty before our own consci-
ence and history. But our Jewish
communal life has unfortunately
become restricted to two functions
= public relations and fund-rais-
ing = and more frequently than
not while the public relations re-
suits in more funds, the incoming
funds result only in more public
relations. Your columnist does
not mean you or you or you. He
speaks the word en- masse. And
he confesses on this occasion his
own guilt. He lacked the cour-
aged and the alertness to do his
full share of brickbatting the
guilty, and is therefore partner
to the sins.
OSWegO Incident
A painful, exceedingly en-
|arrassing thing happened right on
our doorstep. Less than one thou
sand "tOken" refugees were
brought into the "free port at
Fort Ontario, OswegO, New York.
When the President announced the
number to be admitted, there was
a great deal of editorial criticism,
due quantity of grumbling among
Jewish leaders. And yet, when
the refugees finally arrived, the
diSOrganiZatiOn at the camp re-
veaIed that during the time that
elapsed between the Presidents
announcement and the arrival of
the refugees, there was very little
liaiSOn between Jewish Organiza-
tons and the government agencies
in charge of the refugees trans
pOrtatiOn and settlement, for had
there been such liaiSOn there
would have been less chaos on
their arrival at Fort Ontario.
What Price Unity
Speaking of omissions, the
starkest tragedy in the history Of
the Jewish people failed to bring
about in American Jewry the
cohesion that fear and common
danger bring among species less
intelligent than human beings
Polish Jewry vanished, half Of
Hungary's Jewry disappeared be-
fore the various Jewish groups
finally got together for a joint
protest demonstration in New
York's Madison Square and to
draw up joint demands for the
rescue of Hungary's Jews. If this
is not criminal negligence-what
is?
If we had been in EurOpe'S
trap and watched across the
ocean, across miles and miles of
our dead and in the shadow of our
own imminent death at the en-
emy'S hands, our American breth-
rem petulantly prOcraStinating
with regard to rescue action, what
would our measure be for Ameri-
can Jewry and its leadership
