Leading members of the U.S. Senate joined today in an appeal to their fellow-Americans to strengthen the habit of friendly cooperation in wartime as a means of defeating attempts to divide and confuse them through propaganda designed to stir up religious and racial hatreds.
The Senators signed the appeal in recognition of the current nation-wide observance of Brotherhood Week, which is sponsored by the National Conference of Christians and Jews in 2,000 communities across the nation. “The strengthening of the bonds of fellowship and cooperation among members of all faiths in our country, essential in time of peace, is still more essential in time of war,” the Senators declared in a joint statement. “The more united and cooperative Americans of all creeds are in the nation, in the community, and in the individual neighborhood, the greater will be their resistance to the propaganda of hatred which is intended to divide and confuse them.”
