St. P/111I, Minn. (WNSI-Sharp division of opinion over the decision by the United Jewish Fund and Council here to Impose "ethically sound community sanctions" against persons with positions of leadership whose pledges to the Fund and Council are ileemed Inadequate was reported last week by the American Jewish World, of Minneapolis ami St. Paul. Disclosing that the decision had been received with mixed reactions by people active in local Jewish community life, the American Jewish World reported that while some Jewish leaders termed the new policy "immoral," "dangerous" and "un-democratic," others considered It "wise," "effective" and ns "the best way to raise additional money." The UJFC board resolution, adopted by a vote of 23 to 2, declared that "such (sanctions arc based pn the principle that an In-
dividual's adequate discharge of major community responsibilities must be precedent to his occupying a position of leadership or favor in our community organizations.1' In an editorial commenting on the development, the American Jewish World of Minneapolis and St. Paul said: "It Is,potentially a hazardous policy, and it would be extremely short-sighted not to recognize that bitterness nnd animosities which might result from sanctions could create community disunity nnd factionalism that may take many years to eradicate, "If giving, as we have said many times before, is primarily a product of conscience, goodwill nnd self-appraisal, then we find it difficult to ECO how anyone can adequately and fairly say how much another should give. In the absence of accepted criteria for de-
termining how much a man ought to contribute, the danger Is that injustice will be done some persons who, for reasons known only to themselves, already are giving What they consider they are able to give. "We know of no precedent for the imposition of such sanctions In community life, and we pray tho UJFC board will tread warily on this new path on which it is pioneering, We hope that those who are re-solicited will appreciate from tho very nature of the policy, how extreme is the emergency, and that rc-sollcltatlon will accomplish what is sought without any necessity for sanctions. The experiment will be watched closely by other communities; for they, like St. Paul, may also be driven to such drastic procedures, even though they do so as hesitantly and reluctantly as" St. Paul has done,"
