Pointing that the “proper place fo rpractical community work fo Jews is in the Jewish cmmunity,” Dr. Otto Hirsch, chairman of the executive of the Reichsvertretung der deutschen Juden, the All-German Jewish Representative body, in an article explaining that organization’s aims in the current issue of Morgen, points out that the primary consideration in this is that there be nothing done beyond the legislation of the past year to make Jewish economic efforts more difficult.

“The task to which the government is devoting itself with profound earnestness itself with profond earnestness and visible suvcess,” dr. Hirsch writes, “to direct the German individuals to the serviec of the community, applies above all to the Garman Jews, who in the emancipation liberated themselves not only from oppressive shackles, but also from valuable ties. But the proper place fo rpractical community work for Jews is in the Jewish community. Its maintenance and extension is, therefore, of the utmost importance not only from the rligious but also from the state point of view.

NO FURTHER LAW

“The prime condition for this is that nothing should be done that goes beyond the legislation of the past year, in opposition to th erepeated declarations form authoritative quarters, which would make more difficult the economic activity of Jews as employees and employers, already impossible in many parts of the country and many branches of economic life.
