The joint committee on Poland which includes the representatives of the American Jewish Committee, the American Jewish Congress, the Federation of Polish Jews in America, the B’nai Brith, and their affiliated organizations have received copies of a resolution adopted jointly by the Cosmopolitan Club, Christian Association, Social Problems Club, Socialist Club of N. Y. U. and the Menorah Society, expressing their accord with the vigorous, prompt and courageous action of the National Jewish Organizations in presenting the protests of American public opinion to the Polish authorities for their failure to control the unruly student elements in Poland who have resorted to rowdyism against the Jewish population in that country.
The resolution declares:
“We do hereby call on the consciousness of all fair-minded, humane and peaceful students and all those interested in fostering educational ideals to join with us in this protest.”
With only 40 members, Carolina Lodge No. 603, Greensboro, N. C., raised $400 for the Wider Scope of B’nai Brith during 1932, a report received at B’nai Brith National Headquarters at Cincinnati reveals. This constitutes a 100 per cent increase over the Lodge’s quota. All pledges were paid in cash. Sidney J. Stern was chairman, and Walter J. Bernstein, treasurer, of this drive. Carolina Lodge’s goal was set at $200, and its total collections represent twice that quota.
