OF THE
Centralization Required
Next week the National Conference of
Jewi*ih Social Service will meet in De
troit. Economic, cultural anti other com
munal problems affecting the Jews of
America in their daily liven at home will
be discussed, along with broad national
and international relief reconstruction
abroad. Under the leadership of Dr. I.
M. Rubinow, president of the conference,
and with the participation of the most
prominent social worker* in this country,
it is to he hoped that the Conference will
formulate concrete proposals tending to
stabilize and centralize our communal
activities. 'This is now needed more than
ever. The German Jewish situation, in
view of the many and varied fund-rais
ing campaigns which have been
launched, should be considered and if
need be a warning issued to such organ
izations as interfere with the essential
campaigns inaugurated for this purpose.
League Must Act
The League of Nations will he con
fronted with its most severe test when
the petition of Franz Bernheim, a natur
alized German Jew of Upper Silesia will
come up for discussion. Bernheim’* pe
tition is based on the Polish-German con
vention with regard to Upper Silesia,
which guarantees the rights of all mi
norities and which gives the latter the
right to submit petitions directly to the
League if there are charges of violation
of rights. Bernheim asks that all the anti-
Semitic laws thus far ordained by the
Nazis shall be invalidated. 'There are
two courses open to the League. It can,
if it chooses, pursue a strictly legalistic
policy and limit the petition exclusively
to conditions in Upper Silesia. In this
case, the German Government would—
in order to quash the whole question—
gladly promise an investigation and per
haps express regret concerning certain
individual aspects of the treatment of
Jews in Upper Silesia. The whole mat
ter then would he expedited in short
order. The result from a Jewish point
of view would be zero. On the other
hand, the League can generously throw
the debate wide open, giving free and
full privilege to the French, British, Rus
sian, Scandinavian, Dutch, Belgian and
other delegates to have their say on the
anti-Jewish activities of the Hitlerite
dictatorship. In view of the attitude of
these delegates, such a debate would
result in a unanimous condemnation of
the present German regime and might
pave the way for further action by the
League on behalf of persecuted German
Jewry. Tremendous pressure will be ap
plied to the Secretariat of the League to
curtail discussions on the Bernheim pe
tition. Already there are rumors that
German representatives are proposing
compromises on the ticklish disarmament
question provided the League keeps its
hands off the anti-Semitic charges. There
are also delegates—and it is said that
they include Italian and American repre
sentatives—who counsel reducing the de
bate to a mere nominal acknowledgment
of the Bernheim petition so as not to
jeopardize the London Economic Con
ference. World Jewry, and non-Jewish
liberals no less, will regard the quashing
of the Bernheim petition by the l eague
as a definite sign that the League of
Nations is bankrupt as a moral factor.
No diplomatic twist attempting relegate
the extermination of German Jewry to
the status of a purely domestic German
matter outside of the jurisdiction of the
League should prevail. The League
must take up the Brrnhritn petition as a
welcome opportunity to tackle the entire
Jewish situation in the whole of Ger
many. Anything else will he regarded
as an evasion of the responsibilities for
which the League was created.
Rosenwald Speaks Out
Lessing J. Rosenwald, son of the late
Julius Rosenwald, does not regard his
presidency of the Philadelphia Federa
tion of Charities as a nominal duty. His
presidential message recently delivered
gave proof that he applies to communal
problems the same thoroughness and
logical thinking which characterized his
father's statement on business and social
questions. In the lengthy Rosenwald
message one comment struck us as par
ticularly appropriate, transcending in its
significance the local problems concern
ing which it was made. Said Lessing
Rosenwald: "Particularly noticeable has
been the need for intensive service to
the families able in normal times to cope
with their own problems. 'This has been
especially true of the young people who,
unable to find employment, have become
disheartened and despondent. 'This same
situation has made relief necessary in
many families where, though they pre
sented serious problems of maladjust
ment, they had been previously self-sup
porting." Mr. Rosenwald also pointed
out the doubt, the confusion and the
sense of profound disillusionment, which
dominates our idle youth of today. And
thus Lessing Rosenwald touches one of
the most vital problems with which the
Jewish community of America will have
to deal. Unless organized American
Jewry builds up an efficient relief organ
ization, which will keep together the
family in the days of economic crisis, our
young generation seems to be doomed.
This is the message of Mr. Rosenwald,
and we agree with him.
