American Manufacturer*
Replacing German
Goods In Poland
The invitation to the confer-
ence is accompanied by a de-
tailed survey of the boycott ac-
tivity in Poland. As a result of
the movement to shun German
produqts the sale of American
goods in Poland is rapidly gain-
ing in volume. Particularly ben-
eficial has the anti-Nazi boycott
in Poland been to the American
film industry. T h e boycott
against German films has been
.so strong that they have been
almost entirely eliminated from
the Polish theatres, leaving the
market in control of the Amer-
ican motion picture industry.
The boycott movement in Po-
land is splendidly organized and
is being carried on by a Central
National Boycott- Committee and
more than 100 local committees.
The committees consist of rep-
resentatives of all Jewish poli-
tical parties, economic bodies
and professional asociations. The
boycott activity is divided into
six main divisions: (1) Ptmlica-
tionS and propaganda, (2) ' In-
dustry and alternative sources
of supply, (3) Local organiza-
tions, (4) Particular industries,
(5) Control and “Courts of
Honor,” (6) Cooperation with
foreign boycott committees.
The most active divisions are
those for propaganda and for
alternative sources of supply.
The boycott propaganda is be-
- ing carried on by means o f
, newspapers, magazine^, circu-
lars, leaflets, boycott pins, ap-
peals in the synagogues, meet-
ings, schools, etc. The extent of
this propaganda activity may be
judged from the fact that it has
become fixed custom to begin
any play, show and public func-
tion with an appeal for the boy
cott.
Particularly effective, is the
work of the “control” depart-
ment, whose function it is to
investigate and punish violators*
of the boycott. For this purpose
it maintains so-called “Courts of
Honor” where violators are be-
ing arraigned, tried and sen
tenced. The sentences of the
court are uhiversally respected.
In the case of second offenders
the most dreaded remedy, that
of public pillory, is applied.

United Synagogue
Convention To Be
Broadcast May 6
The proceedings of the Twen
ty-Second Annual Convention of
The United Synagogue of Amer-
ica, which will be held at Thq
Willard Hotel, Washington, D
C.» from May 6th to 8th will be,
broadcast over a nation-wide
N. B. C. hookup in one of the
most unique programs of its
kind to be sent over the ether.
Instead of addresses orr parts
of addresses of speakers being
broadcast as they are deliverer
to the Convention, a separate
program will be put on after
these addresses are made, in
which the speeches and proceed-
ings will be summarized in a
miniature program. The speak-
ers actually delivering the ad-
dresses will broadcast parts of
their speeches in this, miniature
program and the high lights of
the proceedings will also be
broadcast throughout- the coun
try. This is believed to be the
first time that sqgh a program
has been put on the air. The
effect of the broadcast is ex-
pected to be to give the entire
convention proceedings to the
radio audience in a nutshell.
The Convention will be broad-
cast over the Blue Network at
9:30 p. m., standard time on
‘ ty, May 6th.

there for human advancement?

The book of books says: "All go
unto one place; all are of the dust,
and all turn to dust again.”
It is an unwelcome fact that the
earth is seething with man’s cruelty
to animals.
I believe the real remedy:

—for Unkindness, is Kindness.
—for Unfairness, is Fairness. «

National Jewish
Youth Day .Is
To Be Observed
>r the purpose of fostering loyalty
to the ideals of the Synagogue, the
Union of American Hebrew Congre-
gations is sponsoring the observance
of Jewish Youth Sky on the first
Sunday In May of each year. This
year, Jewish Youth Day will be ob-
served on May 6th by over 100 Youth
groups throughout the country.
The Union of American Hebrew
/Congregations for many years has
been vitally interested in advancing the
cause of Reform Judaism among the
young people. Two years ago, the co-
operation of the National Federation
of Temple Sisterhoods enabled the
Union to do intensive work in Youth
Education. Department was estab-
lished for this purpose and has since,
Under the directorship of Dr. Harry
L. Comins, been engaged in stimulat-
ing Youth Service, cultural activities
and projects in contemporary Jewish
life.
Dr. Comins has suggested various
types of programs to be arranged for
Jewish Youth Day. Both the content
and the approach of these programs
take their departure from the inerest
of young people. The following activ-
ities have been recommended by Dr.
Comins: A Youth Service; an exhibit
of Jewish objects of art; an hour of
Jewish music; a Symposium, "Jewish
Youth in Times of Trial”; a play of
Jewish interest; a debate on a Jewiah
topic, and a supper dance.
Speaking of Jewish Youth Day, Dr.
Comins said:
"We have launched Jewish Youth
Day in accordance with our aim. of in-
terpreting Judaism in the light of
(hodern life. It is a symbol that the
Synagogue is youthful and vital in its
outlook on Jewish problems. It recog-
nizes the worth of the activities in
which young people engage.
"The Liberal Jewish Youth of
America is on trial. By launching Jew-
ish Youth Day .in confidence that
Youth is worthy of our efforts, we
are giving the young people the hon-
ors which come with bearing the Jew-
ish name.”
Dickstein Says Nazi
Probe Will Be
Very Sensational
The . investigation into1 Nazi
activities in this country sched-
uled to begin in New York
City next week will be the most
sensational this country has seen
in 25 years, according to Con-
gressman Samuel Dickstein who
also revealed that 300 sub-
poenas have already been issued
for known Nazi agitators.
“One of the most fertile breed-
ing grounds for anti-Semitism
is the so-called Patriotic' Socie-
ty,” said the Congressman.
•v “The foreign groups in this
country don’t, stir up half the
mischief these organizations do.”
The proceedings of the inves-
tigating committee are "expected
to last about a year. From New
York the sittings will be shifted
to Philadelphia. A tentative
schedule calls for a trip across
the country to Hollywood and
including the cities of Chicago,
St. Louis, Detroit, Ashville, N.
C. and El Paso, Texas.
Though appropriations have
been made for the initial stage
of the investigation only, it is
reliably reported that unlimited
