The disagreement between the sports clubs associated with the Jewish War Veterans Association and the German Maccabis was settled today following arbitration by the Reichsvertretung der Deutschen Juden, the All German Jewish Representative Body. The two organizations agreed to a basis governing their future course in relation with each other.
“Following increasing tension in recent months, both bodies have accepted the following guiding lines of the Reichsvertretung for their mutual relations,” according to the statement of the Reichsvertretung.
“Both, while maintaining their respective ideology and without prejudicing their right to recruit members, undertake to employ methods eliminating the defamation of the other side.
“They agree, in negotiations with the authorities, not to attempt to subordinate or lessen the prestige of the other side. Both undertake to instruct subordinate affiliated bodies to influence the Jewish communities and other Jewish authorities to allocate halls and sports grounds where common use is impossible on the basis of parity. The leaders of both organizations also undertake to influence organizations close to them to employ in internal Jewish differences and for the outside world, only methods in consonance with the responsibility of all Jews at the precent time.”
