American Jewish Congress Calls Two-day Conference to Combat Anti-semitism

Plans for implementing a program to combat anti-Semitism in America will be formulated at a two-day national conference which will open in New York on Feb. 12, it was announced here today by the American Jewish Congress.

Pointing out that “anti-Semitism has become the most widely used weapon of every anti-democratic or Fascist movement, organization and group in America,” Dr. Stephen S. Wise, president of the American Jewish Congress, declared that his organization is “determined to battle against those enemies of the Republic banded together as anti-Semites who, appealing to the lowest racial and religious prejudices, vainly hope by that sign of infamy to conquer and rule America. To wage and win this war, we call upon all loyal American citizens of every race and creed in the interest of our beloved country and in their own interests to stand with us, to cooperate with us, in the extirpation of that monstrous evil.”
