DISCRIMINATION

AOSANA AVA IVA L 4O1N
During the Spring, a survey indi-
Gated that employment discrimina
ton against Jews had increased, re-
flecting a diminution of wartime
manpower stringencies, and re-
action from wartime unity. AS one
outcome of the survey, a study was
undertaken just before the end of
the year under review, to provide
a basis for more effective organiza-
ton throughout the country, of
Jewish work in the area of employ
ment discrimination. The study
was under the auspices of the
N. c. R. A. C.
Laws for fair employment prac-
tice, of varying degrees of effect
iveness, became operative during
the year in the States of Indiana,
Massachusetts,, New Jersey, New
York, and Wisconsin; and local
ordinances of similar sort were en-
acted in Chicago and Milwaukee.
Bills to create a permanent Federal
Employment Practice Commission,
introduced the previous year in both
Houses of Congress, have thus far
met with no success. The Senate
bill was shelved as a result of a
filibuster by Southern Senators in
January and February 1916, while
in the House the bill never left the
committee. Jewish organizations
are actively cooperating in strength
ening the National Council for a
Permanent F. E. P. c. which spear
heads the battle for national law.
Discrimination in educational in
stitutions continued to be troub-
ling problem, with increasingly Sc
rious effects upon Jewish youth as
returning veterans competed for the
limited facilities of overcrowded
COLLEGES and universities. There

Work.
The most significant anti-Semitic
development of the year was the re-
emergence of the Ku Klux Klan.
Facts about the Klan, gathered, col
lected, and interpreted by interested
organizations, among them Jewish
agencies, were made available
through appropriate channels to
governmental agencies and lay or
CARNATIONS, to the radio and the
press. These facts made it possible
for state governments in California,
Georgia and New York to take
prompt and vigorous steps to out
law the Klan and destroy its effect
iveness. They also made possible
the widespread denunciation of the
Klan which came from Religious and
civic bodies and which appeared in
newspaper editorials and radio COM
ment.
Efforts to attract newly returned
veterans of World War II into nat
ionalistic or pro-fascist organiza-
tons were denounced by the Amer
lean Legion, the Veterans of For
eign Wars, the Disabled American
Veterans, and the AMVETS at
their national conventions. Gerald
L. K. Smith was branded "Democ-
racy's Public Enemy No. l" and
the Christian Veterans of World
War II were condemned by the
Disabled American Veterans; and
the American Legion warned "a

alton on campuses. The Mayors
Committee on Unity in New York
also prepared a report on discrimin-
alton in higher educational institu-
tons which received considerable
press publicity in the Spring of
1916.
In New York State a movement
for the creation of State university
gathered considerable strength..~A
bill was introduced in the Legisla-
ture to appropriate so million dol
lars for this purpose. 1T failed of
passage, but the Governor was au-
thorized to create a commission to
examine the whole question. Jew
ish agencies joined with other pro-
gressive forces in support of the
state university idea, not as a rem
edy for discrimination, but as pos
tive cultural and educational con-
tribution to the life of the State.
At about the same time, a bill
was introduced in the New York
State Legislature, which would de-
ny tax exemption to discriminatory
educational institutions. This fail
ed to be reported out of committee.
A taxpayers suit was filed in New
York City to remove Columbia
University from tax exempt rolls on
grounds of discrimination. A res
olution calling on the municipal tax
commission to investigate Columbia
with view to determining its tax
exemption privileges was pending
in the New York City Council
when the period under review
ended.
Reaction against social discrin-
nation, such as exclusion of Jews
from hotels, resorts, and other
establishments, was effective during
the year. In one outstanding in
stance, the state encouragement OF
Michigan gave assurances, after
many months of painsta<ing nego-
tiations, that certain Objectionable
advertising would be eliminated
from the promotional literature of
hotels, and resorts in the state,
which benefit from a state-subsidiz-
ed Tourist Council.
Interest in legislation, as a means
of achieving better realization OF
the democratic rights guaranteed
in the basic American creed, grew
during the year in the Jewish COM
munity relations programs. Accord
ingly, the Legislative Information
Committee of the National Com
munity Advisory Council compris-
ing representatives of all member
agencies and communities, under
took periodic Legislative Informa-
ton Bulletin, conveying the joint
views of all members.

| NEW YORK, Jan. S.-The Amer.
lean delegation to the United Ma

the American Society of Newspaper
Editors to start action on freedom oi
the worlds press "as soon as pos
lsible.'
Wilbur Forrest, first vice president
Iof the organization and assistant ed
itor of the New York Herald Tri-
bune, said yesterday the society, in a
communication to Edward Stettinius
jr., in London, asked that govern
ments sign treaties containing agree
ments mot to place any barriers
technical or political. legal or eco
nomic, against the. free exchange OF
information between the peoples OF
the world
Charging that "peacetime freedom
of the press and information is at
this moment being ignored directly
and by subterfuge in some parts of
the world" MIR. Forrest said the So
ciety had learned recently that
"mobs, whether inspired or other
wise, have attacked anti-governnent
newspapers In at least two countries
and high-handed methods are in
force elsewhere to stifie truth and
free expression"
The message to Mr.. Stettinius was
sent in the name of the societys S
Standing Committee. which includes
editors Of leading newspapers in
many American cities.
Meanwhile, Hugh Baillie. president
of the United Press, in cablegram
to Mr.. Stettinius and Gladwyn Jebb,
UNO executive secretary, declared
that all sources of news, particular
ly official sources, and all transmits
sion facilities should be completely
available to all He said also there
should be minimum of official reg
ulation of the flow of news itself.
Application of these basic prin-
ciples to the international gather
ing and distributing of news would
remove the major distractions which
up to now have impeded and checked
the worldwide flow of free informa-
tion," Mr.. Baillie said.
