That in spite of untoward conditions it is celebrating its tenth anniversary is a tribute to the energy and perseverance of the publisher and the editors.

CONSTRUCTIVE SERVICE

The tenth anniversary of the founding of the Jewish Daily Bulletin marks the close of a decade of continuous constructive service, not alone to the Jewish people for whom it is edited and published, but to the nation.

Furnishing, as it does, true information of world’s events, it enables your readers to know the problems before us and the progress we are making in their solution.

My hearty congratulations to you on the service and contributions you have made during the first ten years of your valued publication.

Henry Horner.

SERVES MOST USEFUL FUNCTION

I have regarded the Jewish Daily Bulletin as serving a most useful and necessary function in the life of American Jewry. I congratulate The Bulletin on celebrating its tenth anniversary. It is imperative for us, as members of the American community and as Jews, to know what is taking place and what is being said, and to be able to present clearly our status in relation to our fellow citizens of other faiths and to our fellow Jews in other sections of the world. More than anything else we need an honest and impartial portrayal of facts. The Bulletin, therefore, has a great responsibility and a difficult task. I sincerely trust that it will be strengthened in its effort to meet that responsibility.

Joseph C. Hyman.

FACTS PRESENTED PROMPTLY

Facts are the strongest weapon on behalf of any just cause. Frequently they speak more eloquently than rhetoric or argumentation. In the problems which the Jewish people face throughout the world of discrimination, prejudice, unfair legislative and administrative procedures on the part of governments, nothing is more important than to have facts presented promptly and intelligently to the world. The Jewish Daily Bulletin has been doing this for ten years. It is therefore an important service in the interest of the Jewish people.

HAS BECOME A NECESSITY

It is a source of great satisfaction to me to feel that I gave my support to Mr. Landau ten years ago when he first ventured on his publication program: The paper has become a necessity not only to Jews everywhere but to non-Jews. Its statements are accurate, and the daily happenings all over the world as they affect our people are fully reported.

The tenth anniversary of the Jewish Daily Bulletin should be celebrated not only with solemnity but by a renewal of support so that it may go on more effectively.

HAS ANSWERED A DEMAND

It is with pleasure that I accept the invitation of the Jewish Daily Bulletin for a statement on the occasion of its tenth anniversary.

Its growth from a tiny folder to a powerful daily newspaper is the best proof that its editors and publishers have answered the demand to give American Jewry, and all those interested in Jewish affairs, an English-speaking daily journal devoted to the great cause.

Print the facts honestly and fearlessly, and you will continue to be successful. The peoples of various other countries have been deprived of freedom of press and speech. In America we still have, and I hope we always will enjoy, the privilege of free citizens. It was the wise Constitution of the United States which guarantees these inviolate liberties that makes the success of your newspaper possible.

In this connection, may I be permitted to quote the statement of Mr. Richard Brinsley Sheridan who has answered the problem of free speech and free press so eloquently:

“Give me but the liberty of the press and I will give to the minister a venal house of peers. I will give him a corrupt and servile House of Commons. I will give him the whole host of ministerial influence. I will give him all the power that place can confer upon him, to purchase up submission and overawe resistance; and yet, armed with the liberty of the press, I will go forth to meet him undismayed. I will attack the mighty fabric of that mightier engine. I will shake down from its height corruption and bury it beneath the ruins of the abuses it was meant to shelter.”

Continue in your battle because your publication has become an important, indispensable weapon and mouthpiece, not only of American Jewry but of all those oppressed ones with whom fate has united us and whose destiny and welfare are part of our own cares as America has always been the haven and defender of the oppressed.

MERITS WIDER SUPPORT

I have been with the Jewish Daily Bulletin since its birth as a few mimeographed sheets. The significance of the idea appealed at once. And I have watched with personal pride and interest its progress to today.

The best way to measure the worth of The Bulletin is to put this question to yourself: What would we have done without it in these last tragic years? What means would we have had to bring the news of their brethren to Jews all over the world? None that I can see. The general press has been friendly and generous but I do not believe I exaggerate when I say that if the Jewish Telegraphic Agency had not been in existence, the exigencies of the present would have necessitated creating it or some organization like it.

World Jewry owes an immeasurably great debt to the vision and wisdom of Jacob Landau. The service he has given through the Agency he has created has been and is one of the most effective weapons in these trying times. All honor to him and to that comparatively small group in America, England and elsewhere who have caught the vision and have substantially supported it.

The Bulletin can be of even greater effectiveness for American Israel if the wider support it merits were forthcoming, as I earnestly hope it will.

MORE KNOWLEDGE NEEDED

The crying need of our time is more Jewish knowledge and more Jewish information for Jews. That is the necessary instrument of their redemption. I mean it literally when I say that the Jewish Daily Bulletin is absolutely indispensable to every Jew who can read English. Whatever else he reads, he must read that too in order to correct the general news of the world by the news that concern him most vitally and closely.

Ludwig Lewisohn.

INCREASED SIGNIFICANCE

I believe that, at the present time, the great value of the Jewish Daily Bulletin should be clearly evident to everybody. The expansion to its present form has permitted of great increase in its significance, particularly to the Jewish people. The news items of special Jewish interest are now more numerous and more elaborate. The general news, especially on the cultural side, is always of interest, and has a real educational value. I know of no newspaper that has a better or stronger staff of contributing writers. The Bulletin has served to bring about an increased respect for the Jewish people.

Emanuel Libman.

OF GREAT SERVICE

The Jewish Daily Bulletin has been of great service to all communal agencies in making available to them information with reference to international, national and local Jewish affairs, and in convenient form it presents brief statements of happenings of value to them and serves to keep their officers aware of the changing situation in Jewish life throughout the world.

Solomon Lowenstein.

INVALUABLE SOURCE

The Jewish Daily Bulletin has been an invaluable source of information concerning events in Jewish life in this country and elsewhere. It publishes much of current news value which is not otherwise available, and a more detailed presentation of events which receive scant attention in the general press. In its present enlarged form it has added articles, editorials and discussions which are of real value for a better understanding of Jewish life and problems of Jewish adjustment. Agencies and individuals concerned with Jewish problems find The Bulletin an important medium of Jewish information. Beyond its work of news gathering and dissemination it performs the function of a continuous and comprehensive interpreter of Jewish experience to the general reading public. Wider support would undoubtedly contribute to the effectiveness of The Bulletin in all of those functions.

ITS OWN BEST ENDORSEMENT

The Jewish Daily Bulletin is its own best endorsement. I have read it daily since its appearance and feel that I cannot get along without it.

Particularly in view of the conditions we are facing here and abroad, every Jew should read it to keep informed. It is educational, interesting, frank and should be a part of every Jew’s daily life.

On your tenth anniversary I extend my sincere congratulations and express the hope that you may continue in your good work, and enjoy unlimited success.

HAS DONE FINE SERVICE

I congratulate the Jewish Daily Bulletin upon having achieved its tenth birthday. Together with the Jewish Telegraphic Agency it has done fine service in bringing the truth before the people of the world.

It is encouraging to know that such an enterprise has endured for ten years and I am certain that the good-will which it has earned will make it increasingly valuable.

James Marshall.

A SPLENDID SUCCESS

I extend my congratulations on your tenth anniversary.

The Jewish Daily Bulletin has made a splendid success of its efforts to keep Jewry and the world informed of important events of the day affecting Jewish life and Jewish relations with the rest of the world. Its frequent production of news, particularly in foreign situations, when none was available elsewhere, has often served to stay the effects of political anti-Jewish outbursts in foreign countries. It has stimulated Jewish life and increased Jewish self-respect.

I extend my best wishes for the continued growth of your great usefulness.

George Z. Medalie.

HAS BECOME AN IMPORTANT FACTOR
