to analyze q vital existing Situa-
ton: that the few inches OF space
in a New York daily newspaper
in the long run reaches only trac-
ton of the Jewish people. 1t may
reach all the officers of their move
ments, but not their followers.
ON THE OTHER hand, the Eng
lish-Jewish weekly reaches into all
corners of Jewish life In America.
They struggle, some OF them nave
bare minimum of national and
foreign news, but whatever jewish
news of Importance is disseminated
among American Jewry is spread
by these maligned periodicals.
If Jewish life in communities
throughout America is to be cem-
ented into a cooperative unit, II
must be done on a family basis. Ii
our people, wherever they may be,
are to be made aware OF what is
happening to their kinsmen every
where else, they must be MADE
aware at the outset of the value OF
their immediate existence as Jews
in their respective communities.
That is why the social note, tne
birth announcement, the wedding
report. the news about synagogue
services, in their combined form,
are so vitally awaited by jewish
readers. That is why they are OF
fered to their readers by the Eng
lish-J Jewish weeklieS.
HAVING REACHED their read
ers through such media, the week
ly newspapers are able addition
ally to provide them with informa-
ton about Israel, American and
world Jewries; about the Unlteo
Jewish Appeal and the Israel Bono
drives; about the B'nai Birth and
the NCRAC.
Let there be no misumderstand-
ing: there is a group of Jewish
weeklies that publishes practically
all the Jewish news, worldwioe
that emanateS over the wires OF the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
Those who, unlnowingly II not
maliciously, malign the English
Jewish press would do well to study
the weeklies' editorial columns. "A
new type of editor could, as II
should. render great service to
American Jewry: provided there is
sufficient encouragement to this
press. Even the smallest OF our
communities can proudly boast OF
possessing able interpreters OF Jew
iSh life.

The English-Jewish press in Am
erica is one of American Jewry' $
oldest instruments. Only the B'nai
Birth, as an organized unit, ex-
ceeds it in age, and it is therefore
not incorrect to view the Jewish
press published in English as one
of the most solvent symbols OF Jew
ish life in this country.
Yet, it is one of the most mlsm-
derstood, most misinterpreted, and
most maligned service media In
our midst.
The B'nai Birth was organized
in 1910. The first English-Jewish
newspaper appeared in 1849.
NOW TT HAPPENS every Fri
day: In nearly three score Jewish
communities such newspapers
bring the local, national, and world
news into hundreds of thousands OF
| Jewish homes.
Several months ago a writer In
a Catholic newspaper, while view
ing the various publications In TINS
country, launched shocking at
tack on the English-JewiSh week
lies.
Why is it that this very import
ant instrument for Jewish service
- nay for Jewish survival In TINS
country - is so misunderstood, In
spite of the fact that our national
organizations are spending exceed
ingly large sums of money to serv-
ice these papers with weekly bulle-
tins, with mats and feature arti-
cles?
AN OFTEN-USED and frequent
ly-misuSed term-veSted interests
is in large measure responsible LOT
this condition. Each of our national
movements is so anxious for prior
ity, for preferred space, that II Is
concerned with little more than
that it should receive preferred at
tention.
A sad condition affects Jewish
life vis-a-vis our national organiza-
tions. Since nearly all of them
have their national offices in New
York City, they have assumed a
policy of placing greatest empha-
sis upon the amount of space they
can secure for their releases in the
two major New York City morning
newspapers.
These very public relations direc-
tors funne and fret If all the stuff
produced in their publicity mills Is
not used in its totality by the Eng
lish weeklies. But they never stop
