W ATLANTA RA r 3351 lE SOUTHERN ISRAELITE A 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. THE EQUITABLE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES 393 Seventh Ave., New York THOMAS I. PARKINSON, Prasidant H T. ADAMS.
