ers, statesmen and responsible citizens all over the world. From Roman Catholic Pope to Methodist neighbor the comment is the same.
"Anti-Semitism, is anti-Christian heresy."
"Pi*ejudice and discrimination affect not only Jews but the entire democratic way of life."
I watch and listen to the political campaigns. I rejoice that both parties have seen fit to include strong civil rights issues in their planks.
Legal action, education, hard-work by such groups as the Anti-Defamation League and other forces fighting for civil ri^ts and liberties have shown results. The baby steps have become giant steps.
My Negro clay worker, who must feel the hurt of prejudice many times, voiced it so simply. If they hate you, they hate me too.
We will unite as people. Alt the pickets on that fence of mine cannot fall at once. They go slowly, one here, one there, now a few at a time.
The fence is getting weaker It rocks and sways. It will fall.
RENAISSANCE
(Continued from page 4)
Its creation was to herald a renaissance in Jewish life, and from it were to flow values which would give new meaning to Jewish life everywhere.
Strengthening the State of Israel through the promotion
of investment, facilitating the promotion of the Hebrew
language as a living tongue, increasing Jewish education on all levels, encouraging enlightened western aliyah—these are still some of the major tasks of the Zionist MovemenL To accomplish these ends, the Zionist Movement must harness all positive forces in Jewish life and channel them towards our historic goals.
Agonizing reappraisal and organizational change is necessary in light of the new challenge of our day. It is hoped-that the Zionist Congress will have the foresight to face these .nevv challenges and continue to play its key role in the survival of the Jewish people.
