Purpose of the mobilization is to arouse New Yorkers to the dangers of activities by individuals and groups promoting hatred of religious and racial elements, and to create national unity by encouraging friendship and cooperation among all racial and religious groups, it was stated. To carry out these aims it is planned to organize permanent offices of the N.C.C.J. in each borough to carry on an educational campaign.
