Civil Rights
Legislation Urged
By Rabbis

ST. LOUIS -(G)-The Jewish
Congregations have introduced a
three point program for the sup
port of Civil Rights. The program
was advocated by Rabbi Roland
B. Gettlesohn of Rockville Centre,
Long Island, New York at the
opening session of the Institute on
Judaism and Civil Rights.
DR.. Geytelsohn, member of
PRESIDENTS Civil-Rights Commits
sion, urged that first the pulpit
should relate civil liberties to
basic religious principles, and then
point out violations of them.
His next point dealt with the
formation in every congregation
of an action committee, consist-o
ing of Laymen, who will translate
the pulpit exhortations to civil
liberties into specific action.
AS to his next point, he urged
the organization of joint inter
faith civil liberties committees for
synagogues, and churches to serve
as the voices of prohetic religion,
Judism and Christianity together.
The two-day institute was spon-
sored by the Commission on JUS
tice and Peace of the Central Con-
ference of American Rabbis. 1t is
aimed at relating the teachings of
Judaism to the Civil-Rihts of all
men. DR.. julius Mark, Chairman
of the commission, presided at the
opening meeting at Temple Isreal.
DR.. Mark is a rabbi from Nashvil-
lie, Tenn. He says "It is most i'm
portant today that we Americans
examine ourselves, our society,
our law, not only to see that every
man possesses the privileges and
rights of our free society, but Of
first Importance that we are each
individually, accepting and shar-
ing the responsibilities from which
these rights stem. Rabbi Maurice
N. Elsendrath of Cincinnati, presi-
dent of the Union of American
Hebrew Congregations, said that
no synagogue could meet today's
crisis if it failed to offer a pro-
gram of social and moral action.

and with his knowledge and under
standing of the past history and
future needs of the British nations
would use such great opportunity
and such a vast audience without
regard to the future of the British
nation.
1t may therefore be regarded as
being of the greatest significance
that in the first article in the
series Mr.. Churchill reaches the
point in which he says with re-
spect to Italy's attack of :,
Abyssinia. "Mussolinis' designs
upon Abyssinia were unsuited to
the Ethics of tie Twentieth Century
They belonged to those dark ages
when white men felt themselves
entitled to conquer yellow, brown,
blackor red men, and subjugate
them by their superior strength
and weapons"
Certainly Mr.. Churchill's
knowledge of the history of the
struggle and rise of the British
empire to a position of two CEN
turtles of world dominance affords
him the deepest insight and under
standing of the circumstance
which led to racial and color in
feriority and finally racial and
color prejudice as an attempt to
rationalize British exploitation and
the cruelty growing out of early
British imperial policy.
Having been at the head of the
British nation during the two
world wars and possessed of an
understanding of the people of
every race, yellow, brown, black,
and red, Mr.. Churchill has been
able to see to the very depth the
evil affects of emotion resulting
from racial and color inferiority,
and prejudice in the world and has
reached the conclusion that it can
bed of no goo as respects the fu-
ture well being of the British ma
ton and the world.

e of April 10Th.
,alibre and ability of Mr.. Churchill
Recognizing racial and color
prejudice as an invention of the
British nation-a fact that should
be understood in the United
States, especially in the south be-
cause the idea of racial and color
inferiority was already started
before the United States became a
nation-and was transplanted
here to take it's deepest roots in
the south-Mr. Churchill is in
titled to credit for now seeing
tn eneed to rid the world of a
British invention that has come to
be the worlds great evil.
Not only may such a conclusion
be reached in the light of Mr..
Churchill's statement regarding
Mussolini's designs on Abyssinia
but it can also be seen in current
British policy. with respect to its
yellow, black, brown, and red peo-
pie, in which there is abundant
evidence that the British nation
has arrived at the conclusion that
no great nation en- endure upon
policy which can only engender
and keep alive hatred and i'll will.
That a nation of diverse people
can only remain great where each
group end individual can enjoy
the feeling of freedom nd equality
Only out of which can come mutual
respect ad good will and loyalty.
While the mere suggestion of
civil rights and equal opportunity
under the law for Negroes in the
south has been bitterly rejected by
political leaders, it was recently
announced by the press that some
10000 native African students
would be sent to the universities
and colleges of England and Scot
land for training in Law, Medicine
Government, Science, Engineering,
and every other branch of higher
learning in education.
Almost at he same time the new
governor of the Gold Coast one of

Britain African possession an
nounced that all government post
previouly held by British officials
would be filled as rapidly as pos
sible by competent natives and
and that hence forward the natives
would have full voice in the adj
ministration of the affairs of thed
government.
1t seems easily apparent that
the British nation will make it's
new bid for greatness and world
leadership following the debacle
of world war two by welding to-
gether politically, spiritually and
periodically its many diverse
races and people as one mighty
whole.
The War Memoirs of the Right
Honorable Winston Churchill will
prove to be of the greatest bene-
fit to the people of the United
States.

honest representation for all voters. Such read
JuSUmeht could only be done by amendment to the
State Constitution passed by two consecutive SOC
sions of the Legislature
The districts were laid out approximataI, &c,
they now exist by the State Constitution adopted in
1885, without submission to the people, That was II
years ago. and in every election since that time the
voters OF the State have been forced to submit n
representation that makes a mOckery of demOcracv

"hch maadjustments in representation could he COR

by the United States census But new census fonros

How BIG IS "BIG ?"

There is always complaint about ALLEGED
monOpOlistic practices in business coupled
with talk to the effect that 'Iittle business
can't meet the competition of "big business !"
There are certain obvious reasons for
such talk. Competition is now more intense
than 1t was during the scarcity period, when
consumers had to search for goods and there
was an eager market for practically anv-
thing. In many lines the buyers market has
returned with vengeance, and consumers
are cannily shopping about in search of the
best deal for their money. Further, manv
people started stores and little enterprises
without proper experience or financing. and
they are naturally finding the going harder
now.
!, To blindly blame "big business" for
these and kindred problems makes no sense
Many of US tend to forget that business
only becomes big because people like its pro-
duct, its service, and it's policies, and so Da-
trOnize it. The chain retail systems are
among the best examples of that truth Fv-
cry last one of them started as a small Oper-
