Standing Together
The emphasis placed today upon vocational guidance for
Jewish youth is a belated but vital attempt to solve one of
the most pressing problems of the last decade. Surveys of all
professions are now being made by authoritative Jewish
bodies, and it is only a matter of coordinating the findings
before vocational guidance can be offered directly to the
thousands of young people who are in need of such counsel.
It is important, however, for agencies concerned with
vocational guidance to bear in mind the fact that the voca
tional problems of Jewish youth are bound up with the prob
lems of youth generally. James Marshall, speaking at the
Fifth Annual General Assembly of the Council of Jewish
"Federations and Welfare Funds in Cincinnati, pointed out with
great clarity that the Jew must not stand aloof in the struggle
between conflicting interests in economic and political life,
but must participate, each within his own group and class.
“Let the Jewish banker in the main,” said Mr. Marshall,
"‘stand with other bankers. Let Jewish professional men
stand with the generality of professional men. Jewish work
ers skilled, unskilled, white collar, must stand or fall with
other workers.”
It is eminently sensible advice which Mr. Marshall offers
and which may profitably be accepted now by all Jewish pro
fessional people. Only with the relation between worker
and worker, whatever the professional class, clearly defined,
can vocational guidance solve for Jewry the problems of
•employment discrimination and overcrowded professions.

Nearing the cen

Shaarai Shomayim, celebrated the
ninety-fourth anniversary of its
official incorporation with special
services last Friday and Saturday.
Inspired to editorialize on the
anniversary was The Mobile Times,
wrote under the title “They Were
Ever Good Citizens”:
“Celebrating its 94th anniver
sary, the Congregation Shaarai
Shomayim, Gates of Heaven, looks
back over a long period of good
citizenship. Its membership has
always been national and loyal,
members have taken active part
in every war beginning with the
Revolution. They have likewise
been leaders in business, in civic
affairs and in humane undertak-

selves with their fellow-citizens.
That the happy relationship will
continue is the best assurance the
past can give the future.”
Religious leader of Congregation
Shaarai Shomayim is scholarly
Rabbi Alfred G. Moses, has occu

throughout the United States and
the steps taken by B’nai B’rlth
to curb the spreading of the fas

at the annual meeting of the Na

cities throughout the country at
tended the meeting.
Richard FT. Gutstadt. of Chicago,
director of the Anti-Defamation
League, told delegates that there
were 107 Fascist and anti-relig
ious organizations functioning in
the United States and Canada, and
93 others suspected of anti-Semitic
Jennings.
“The League has handled 750
•cases of prejudice during the past
year,” Mr. Gutstadt reported. “We
have complete data on 107 un-
American organizations and defi
nite bases for suspicion of 93
others.”
Lewisohn To
Appear Here
President Alfred M. Cohen, of
Cincinnati, declared that the
alarming growth of Fascist organi
zations constitutes a definite threat
to American Democracy.
“Eternal vigilance is now the
price of safety,” ho pointed out.
“Nazism is not content with what
it hus done to Jews in Germany,
but is spreading to wherever it
can. The League is probing these
sources and calling attention to
what menaces the Jews in this
country. And what menaces the
Jew certainly menaces the United
States ns a whole."

Recital Sunday
Isa Kremer, celebrated concert
singer who will appear at the At
lanta Woman’s Club on Sunday
evening, February 6th, had great
difficulty in convincing her Ameri
can manager that she required a
chair on the stage of Carnegie Hall
for her first recital.
“1 shall never forget,” Mme.
Kremer writes, “the amazement
of the late T. A. Adams when I
asked for a chair on the stage.
When he asked why I needed a
chair, I answered that I must sit
down during the recital. And when ^
I asked what the color of the cur- C
tain was, so that I could harmonize s
my costume with it, he answered ; 2
that no artist had ever given any
attention to the background. And ~
when 1 told them that I changed my | 2

Ludwig Lewisohn, one of the j
most distinguished literary perso
nalities in America today, will ap
pear in Atlanta under the auspices
of the Ahavath Achim Brother
hood on Tuesday evening, Feb
ruary 15. The theme of the noted
writer’s address will be “The Faith
of Israel: Where Does It Stand
Today?”
Bom in Berlin, Mr. Lewisohn
■emigrated with his parents to
South Carolina as a boy of eight,
and except for his European visits
has lived in America ever since.
In his famous autobiographical
novels, “Upstream” and “Mid-
Channel," he poured out the agon
ies of his early years in America,
and in his late books has echoed
and re-echoed his burning race
consciousness.
Lewisohn first won his spurs in
the field of literary criticism and
’was acclaimed as one of the
"•‘healthiest spirits of modem criti
cal writing.” In his anthology,
•‘Creative America,” he isolated
•with a just and sensitive intelli
gence the true course of the crea
tive spirit in American letters.
Tickets for the lecture are priced
at fifty cents and may be obtain
ed from members of the Ahavath
Achim Brotherhood.
