Factor In Union Contract.
The prosperous state Of General

ations over renewal Of its con-
tract with CLOS United Automo-

present two-year contract expires
May 81. General Motors does
not now have a pension plan for
it's members such as the union
recently won from the Ford Co.,
though it has a contributory sys-
TEN for its officers and directors,
and this will be the chief demand
OF the union. as 1t has been, in
most recent negotiations. Already
research committees representing
both the U. A. w. and General

negotiations next year.

cording to the company's report

The fact is that with improve
ment of the French economic
situation since, 1947 - which
marked the end of a touch and

been more sober and realistic

the prospects Of lasting German
French reconciliation are brighter
than ever before.
At Loggerheads Since 1871.
France and Germany have been
at loggerheads ever since the
Second Empire fell under the
blows of the German armies in
1871. France, her pride deeply
wounded, saw with anxiety the
creation of the powerful German
empire. In self-defense she looked
for allies against another German
onslaught and failed to explore
the possibility of an understand
ing with Germany.
Frances alliance with Russia
and Britain did not give her the
much-needed security. The French
barely escaped disaster in World
War I. thanks only to the inter-
vention Of the United States.
After that narrow escape, France,
instead Of extending the hand OF
friendship to the Weimar Re
public and it's Western-minded
foreign minister, Gustav Strese-
mann. again looked for allies.
T France created the Little En-
tente" which was a conglomera-
ton Of Balkan and Central Euro
pean states. She relied on them
and Great Britain for security
This policy eventually brought
her into World War II, and once
more she was rescued by Ameri-
can Intervention.

BY PHILIP SLoMovITz

President, American Association
of EngliSh-JelUish Newspapers
Towards the end of the last
century, Yiddish dailies assumed
the leadership and became the
dominant factors in guiding the
thinking of the Jewish masses
throughout the world. This was
as true of the United States as
it was of European countries.
In this country and in Poland
the Yiddish dailieS predominated,
although newspapers and period
icals also appeared in other lang
uages in the Jewish communities
of both countries. There were
Polish and Hebrew journals in
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1949-09-23

of an important factor in Amerl-
can journalism = the English
Jewish press - which today Is
acknowledged as one of the most
powerful factors for good IN
American and Jewish life in this
country.
There were approximately So
900 Jews in the United States
in the year of the birth of the
English-Jewish Press. New York
and Philadelphia were the larg-
est Jewish centers of population.
The first English-Jewish month
ly magazine was issued in Phil
adelphia, while New York saw
the birth of the first English
Jewish weekly-Robert Lyons
The Asmonean. A new cultural
center was rising, however. in
Cincinnati, where Rabbi Isaac
Mayer Wise was laying the
foundation for the Reform syna-
gogues and for Hebrew Union
College. In 1854 Rabbi Wise
founded the oldest surviving
Jewish weekly. He then called
it The Israelite. which in 1874
assumed its present name of The
American Israelite.
IN SAN FRANCISCO
Early beginnings in Jewish
population expansion in this
country are evidenced by the
fact that an English-Jewish
weekly, Jewish Times and OBJ
server. edited by M. S. Levy
and William Saalburg, was pub
lished in San Francisco from
1855 to 1905. Another early Eng
lish-Jewish weekly. The Jewish

Jewish periodicals appeared in
German, Hebrew and Ladino.
La Vara, a Ladino Spanish
JEWISH periodical, edited by AL
bert S. Torres, was published
in New York from 1922 to 1913,
and it was only about a year ago
that this Judeo-Spanish weekly
finally ended an interesting ex-
istence in the declining commun-
ity of Spanish Jews.
Prior to the era of Yiddish
Journalism in America, there
were number of German-Jew-
ish periodicals and attempts also
were made to foster a Hebrew
press. AT present, there is one
prospecting, in its 26th year, I'M
der the editorship of Menahem
Ribalow. There are four Yiddish
dailies-the Forward. Der Tog.
Yiddisher Morgan Journal and
Freiheit. Daily Yiddish news
papers at one time appeared in
Philadelphia, Chicago. Cleveland
and for very short period in
Detroit All of them disappeared.
In Chicago and Cleveland Yid-
dish weeklies, offshoots of the
earlier daily newspapers. still
are circulated. But in the main
the Yiddish press began to de-
cline with the cessation of immi-
grafton to this country. A new
era. although slow-moving,
therefore began for the Jewish
newspaper published in English.
The first English-Jewish per-
iodical published in English in
this country was The Occident
and American Jewish Advocate
which made its appearance in
Philadelphia in April of 1843 I'M
der the editorship of the able
Rabbi Isaac Lesser of Congre-
CATION Mikeh Israel. The Occi-
dent. about which Rabbi Lesser
reported that we circulate
scarcely above 51O," for 25 years
struggled to advance cultural
Jewish ideals and to clarity
religious issues. But The Occi-
dent, like earlier periodicals
which appeared both in English
and in German. was a monthly
publication.
The first English Jewish week
~ newspaper to make its ap-
pearance in this country was The
Asmonean. which was published
in New York by Robert Lyon
in 1849. From that year, there
fore. begins the history of the
Jewish weekly press in America,
published in the English langu-
age.
The ASmonean, a family jour-
nal of commerce, politics, relig-
ion and literature" lasted only
nine years. Before it suspended
publication it added occasional
German supplements. These
were indications of the preva-
lence of German as the language
used by the Jews in the United
States at that time But its be-
ginning marked the introduction
