against fascism, for building a
real democratic way of life for
all Americans.
1t is planning full participa-
ton in the legislative campaign
against the Ku Klux Khan and
other fascist groups, and is also
preparing to stage a national
drive for the reopening of the
Sedition Trials in Washington.
WHILE throughout its entire
life, the JWV has regarded itself
as the patriotic voice of Ameri-
can Jewry, it is at this moment
organizing the Jewish veterans,
(of which there are more than
500, 900 from the recent war and
100000 from 1879 to become the
strong right arm of the Jewish
people.
This is, in essence, the change
OF policy that today'S events
have thrust upon the WV.
To be successful, 1t must be-
come that force which, in uniting
the Jewish people, viii move
them into combat against the en-
emies of Labor and of the Negro
people, as well as against the
anti-Semites, thereby establishing
a progressive, fighting alliance.
The program of the Illinois
Department Of JWV adopted at
their last convention was in this
spirit. The present adninistra-
ton, led by Commander Thomas
London, is dedicated to carrying
1t out, because they understand
that the enemies of the Jewish
people can be defeated only by
this kind of an alliance.

Commission on Law and Social
Action of the American Jewish
Congress
In presenting this four-point
legislative program to the newly
elected members of the Illinois
General Assembly, the American
Jewish Congress is not acting as
a special pleader in behalf of
the Jewish or any other minor
ity. We are convinced that dis
elimination and racism consti-
tute a threat to the democratic
way of life; that as a matter of
survival, as well as common de-
cency, we Americans must in our
daily practices act in a manner
that conforms with the great
promise of equality and justice
for all which is embodied in the
living ideals of the Declaration
of Independence, the Constitution
of the United States and the 9th.
er writings of our founding IA
theirs.
/. Fair Employment Practices
Legislation prohibiting discrim-
nation in employment has al
ready been enacted in New York,
Massachusetts, and New Jersey.
These laws follow a common pat
tern of setting forth the public
policy of the State, specifying un-
fair employment practices, and
creating an enforcing Commits
sion or Board.
New York has had the most
experience with this type of leg.
islation. In that state whole new
areas of employment opportuni-
ties for minorities have been op-
ened up which had hitherto been
completely denied to them. Con.
trary to the predictions of many
opponents of a Fair Employment
Practices Commission, this has
not resulted in racial tensions
between the new and the old en-
pioyees. On the contrary, workers
have learned for the first time by
actual observation that members
of minority groups are human be-
ings like themselves, rnotivaiet'
by the same impulses and acting
and reacting in the same manner.
The experience of New York
has indicated certain desirable

JWV came into existence in
1896. On March Is of that year,
81 Union Veterans of the Civil
War met in the old Lexington
Avenue Opera House to discuss
the then rising anti,Semitic tide.
The country was just beginning
TO emerge from the economic
crisis 1t had plunged into in 1893.
During that time the men of Wall
Street had, in their quest for q
goat to divert the wrath of the
workers. farmers and small bust
nessmen from themselves, caused
attacks to circulate against the
Jewish population, blaming them
for the depression and declaring
them to be unpatriotic.
Out of that first meeting came
the first Jewish Veterans organ
ization in the United States-to-
day known as the Jewish War
Veterans of the United States
then as the Hebrew Union Vet
Grams.
Its members were also mem
bers of the Grand Army of the
Republic, and they looked upon
their new organization as being
primarily concerned with estab-
fishing the record of patriotic
service of American Jews.
Soon afterwards, the Spanish
American War took place. Jewish
veterans of the American forces
in that conflict formed the Junior
Hebrew War Veterans, which
dropped Junior" from its name
in 1900. Since the purpose of the
two organizations conceded, they
finally merged twelve years later.

WORLD WAR I brought into
existence a new generation of
veterans, and the old organization
changed its name to the Hebrew
Veterans of the Wars of The Re-
public in order to take in the new
crop. A group of Jewish vets of
that war at first formed their
own organization, which In 1919

provisions in the achievement of
Fair Employment Practices which
which can be incorporated in the
Illinois law. Workers who exper-
fenced discrimination hesitate to
make complaints; they feel it
might affect their possibilities
for employment elsewhere, and
are reluctant to approach any
government agency if they can
help it. Fears of red tape, legal
expenses, etc. operate effectively
to obstruct the registration of
complaints. For this reason, it
is important that responsible ci.
vic agencies are specifically given
the right to file complaints
whenever the law has heen vio-
lated.
1t is also important that the
Commission be directed to devel-
op an educational program, since
the prevention of discriminatory
employment practices is much
more significant than the punish
ment of such practices when they
have already been committed.
III. Fair Educational Practices
The existence of discrimina.
ton based on race, color or reli-
gion in educational institutions is
an open secret. Aside from the
moral values involved, there is
one matter of great practical
significance. Most institutions OF
higher learning receive tax ex.
emptions which in many cases
amounts to millions of dollars.
The deficit caused by these ex-
emptfons is made up by the tax.
payers of the State-without re.
gard to their race, color or an
cestry. 1t is therefore morally,
financially and legally appropri-
ate to condition such exemptions
upon the maintenance by these
institutions of non-discriminatory
admission practices. Here again
New York has taken the lead
through the introduction of the
Austin Mahoney BilT which
will be acted upon in the COM
ing session of the New York
General Assembly.
There is no reason why a meas
ure similar thereto cannot be
passed in Illinois. The Commits
sion on Law and Social Action
of the American Jewish Congress
is now in the process of prepar-
ing a Fair Educational Practices
Act for the State of Illinois.
III. Racial Restrictive Housing
Covenants
Such covenants are now under
attack in the courts by the Com.
mission on Law and Social Ac-
ton of the American Jewish Con-
gress as being unconstitutional.
The theory behind this attack
is founded upon the fact that the
covenants are not self-enforcing,
but require the legal machinery
of the State to effectuate their
purposes. In other words, the
covenant is always the subject
for suit, and when 1t Is upheld.

ders the eviction of the proscrib-
ed individual. A law which will
prohibit such an order is an eff
fective means of abolishing the
covenants. Many precedents ex-
list for such legislation, most sig
nificant of which is the Norris
LaGuardia Anti-Injunction Act,
which prohibits the federal courts
from issuing injunctions in GER
tain types of Strike" situations.
1t is our hope that the Supreme
Court of the United States will
ultimately strike down racial re-
strictive housing covenants as
unconstitutional. Pending this re.
suit the State has the right and
the obligation to deprive the Ell.
forcers of restrictive covenants
from the special privilege of in
junction proceedings which they
now enjoy.
Nv. Racism and Minority
Defamation
Minorities not only nave the
right to equal opportunities for
employment, education and houS-
ing, but also the right TO live in
peace and dignity, free from the
abuse and defamation of rac,sts
and professional purveyors nt
hate. The concept of freedom Of
speech, when used TO protect
persons like Gerald l.. K Smith
and Elizabeth Dilling, is an nut
rageous distortion of values It
is perfectly possible to crea4e
legislation which will protect the
sacred rights of free speech and
at the same time appropriately
punish those who abuse these
rights by defaming minority
groups.
There is now pending before
the City Council of Chicago en-
ordinance drafted by the Com.
mission on Law and Social Ac.
ton of the American Jewish Con-
gress which reconciles these per.
fectly concilable concepts: an
propriate punishment of abuse
and defamation of minorities, ard
adequate protection of the guar
antees of freedom of speech.
However, State legislation of a
similar nature is essential. since
municipalities have insufficient
jurisdiction to assess appropriate
penalties.
A State law is now in existence
which prevents defamation or
vilification of minorities THROUGH
the medium of lithocraohs,
sketches, plays, etc. This law
must be amended to include all
types of scurrilous and defama-
tory utterances.
The clear-cut majority which
the Republican Party will COM
mand in the new Illinois General
Assembly fixes it's responsibility
for action on the foregoing leg
Slative program. The minority
Democratic Party delegation, ow-
ing its existence primarily to the
residents of the City of Chicago,
likewise has a clear-cut respon-
sibility.
