A JEWISH NECESSITY
My dear Mr. Landau:

The Jewish Daily Bulletin is a Jewish necessity. No one can be completely informed on Jewish affairs who does not read the Jewish Daily Bulletin. It is immensely important that it should now be made accessible to great numbers of non-Jews who will, I believe, be increasingly eager to consult its pages.
Faithfully yours,

I learn with considerable interest of your plan to publish the Jewish Daily Bulletin in an enlargd form under the editorship of Mr. Herman Bernstein.
The combination of purpose and editorship is an experiment of a kind which will be followed with interest by many people.

Such an organ may well become an important instrumentality for molding public opinion.

The more accessible the Bulletin is to the Jewish people, the more helpful it will be in molding public opinion through the dissemination of accurate information concerning the stateu and the fortune of our people throughout the world.
In these last few trying years in Jewish history, I know of no agency that has rendered greater service than the Bulletin.
I particularly hail with delight the return of Mr. Bernstein to the field of Jewish journalism as editor of the enlarged Bulletin. He has been greatly missed. I am confident that under his editorial leadership, the Bulletin will make still further progress in its distinguished career.

UNIQUE POSITION IN JOURNALISM
Dear Mr. Landau:
Your decision to enlarge the daily issue of the Jewish Daily bulletin and the invitation extended by you to Herman Bernstein to become editor are steps highly commedable.
Through the enlarged edition you will be enabled better and more adequately to report and interpret Jewish life at home and abroad. A number of circumstances have combined to quicken the interests of the American Jew in the affairs or his people. This interest is genuine and should be encouraged. It should be nurtured on substance that is meaningful and constructive. An enlarged Jewish Daily Bulletin can be of tremendous assistance in disseminating significant information and in furthering thise projects and those activities engaging the interest and challenging the sense of responsibility of our people everywhere.
With Herman Bernstein, able editor and student of Jewish affairs, at the steering wheel, the Jewish Daily Bulletin should occupy a unique position in American Jewish journalism, rendering a distinct service to our people.
Greater strength to you.
Cordially yours,
Jacob Billikopf.
IMPORTANT AND USEFUL
Dear Mr. Landau:
I learn with gratification that your paper will hereafter be enlarged, and that Mr. Herman Bernstein is to edit it. Under these conditions, with Jacob Landau and Herman Bernstein devoting their best energies to the paper, an important and very useful periodical will become still more important and useful.
Very truly,
Max J. Kohler.
OF VALUE TO ALL AMERICANS
Dear Mr. Landau:
As I have told you before, I believe that the Jewish Daily Bulletin is of value not only to the Jewish community, but to all Americans so long as it continues its policy of giving the uncolored, untouched-up news with regard to facts affecting Jews throughout the world. I hope that in its enlarged form it will continue this policy, and not embark on an editorial policy advocating one or more of the various conflicting viewpoints held by various groups of Jews in this country, Mr. Bernstein, with his great experience as a journalist and diplomat, will I am sure, bring to the Jewish Daily Bulletin seasoned judgment and journalistic ability that will be of great value.
Cordially yours,
Roger W. Straus.
USEFUL SOURCE OF INFORMATION

I am in receipt of your announcement of the enlarged format of Jewish Daily Bulletin.

With best wishes for your succes I am
