To the Editor, Jewish Daily Bulletin:

I am a taxi driver and hear many conversations in my cab during the course of the day. But one that hurt me happened yesterday when I overheard a conevrsation between two Jews, who were talking about hiring Italian labor because it was cheaper although Jewish labor was better.

One of them said to his comrade, “Look at the poor Jews on Seventh Avenue. Out of work, starving for a piece of bread.” And their own kind don’t employ them.

The Jews in Germany always thought themselves above other Jews of different lands. But when Hitler came into power, they looked to the Jews they thought lower than themselves to help them in their distress.

I would rather support the Polish Jews ninety per cent and the German Jews ten per cent. I appeal to you that something must be done to unite us Jews into one body. Make us understand that Jews must support one another, especially with regard to employment, or we will have the same serious conditions here as there are in Germany.

Now it is up to us to help our Jewish brethren, while we still have the chance, for if we don’t, we might as well be exterminated forever.

HOW BULLETIN IS USED

To the Editor, Jewish Daily Bulletin:

You may be interested in seeing to what use we put the information derived from the Jewish Daily Bulletin.

Once a month I get up a survey of the European situation as it affects the economic status of the Jew. Most of the material I find in the Jewish Daily Bulletin. This is supplemented by gleanings from periodicals and from reports received direct from abroad by the ORT office. The “ORT Newsreel” resulting is sent to all the branches of the Women’s American ORT and is read to the membership at their monthly meetings.

As editor I would be quite helpless without the excellent, impartial news service of the Bulletin.
