The Women’s Division of the American Jewish Congress met yesterday at Temple Rodeph Sholem for a symposium on the immediate plans of the division in combating the Nazi situation. Mrs. Stephen S. Wise, chairman of the group, presided.
Guest speakers of the afternoon were Dorothy Thompson, journalist and wife of Sinclair Lewis, who has been closely associated with Germany during the last few years, and Pierre Van Paassen.
Miss Thompson declared that she was convinced that nothing of any consequence could be done to curb–Hitlerism in Germany and that the “important thing to do is to keep it from spreading elsewhere.”
Mrs. Stephen S. Wise, who presided at the meeting, declared that in the near future the American Jewish Congress expects to hold a trade fair to intensify the anti-Nazi-boycott in the United States.
Mrs. Bernard S. Deutsch, treasurer of the organization, read a financial report and Mrs. Wise submitted her own administrative report.
