towards Strengthening and ex-
panding the means of reaching
that market. This cannot be done
through one or two publications;
it can be accomplished only if
there is marked growth in the

It is my hope, both for personal
and objective practical reasons,
that this goal can soon be at
tanned.
Because so much is involved
affecting the welfare of the entire
Anglo-Jewish press, it would
mean a great deal to me to learn
your reaction, to have your COM

I look forward to hearing from
you.

for you, not only from our office,
but from other sources which will
have to take cognizance of the in
creased strength of the entire
Anglo-Jewish press.
AS an American Jew who has
noted with keen regret and a
great deal of dismay the attenua-
ton of many influences in the
retention and understanding of
our heritage, it is my feeling that
the Anglo-Jewish press is one OF
our sole remaining means OF
nourishing the roots of Jewish
ness among the masses of our peo-
pie in this country.
But it must be a vital press; it
must be an organ of expression
endowed with the long sought
after formula for rousing interest
and evoking a positive response
in the American-Jewish commu-
nifty of today. It must be source
of sustenance for the vague and
for most part unsatisfied hunger
of millions of Jews for self-iden-
tification within the context of
our American social pattern.
1t is this formula, this source of
sustenance that we are seeking to
discover through the medium OF
the American Examiner. The re-
suits of this search, as I have pre-
