Tonight as the fiery rays of the setting sun are enfolded by the silver-shadowed mists of t w i l i g h t . . . . a people with the sorrow of the ages etched in the lines of their faces, will solemnly yet h' hfully bow their heads in prayer at the birth of a New Year. . About them is confusion=and d3aos,.,^kUon&bfa$y..mpge.ia the darkness of political intrigues. The economic ship flounders rudderless amidst the shoals of uncertainty. The march of socialprogress is made a mockery through the seeming triumph of might over right. Soul-stirring is the despair and hopelessness suffered by many of our European brethren, who have fallen victims to the human fiencfishness of medieval barbarism. The poisonous venom of demagogical anti-Semitism has infected a wound-torn, maddened world. And in many ports shrinking assets have caused Jewish institutions to adopt a policy of retrenchment, Opportunely, then, does Rosh Hashonah soothe the spiritual bruises of our people, infusing new hope and inspiration through the memory of our immortal past. Down through the hills of eternity, the highway of Jewish history is built on a faith which leads to wide outlooks. The recurring miseries of the centuries - - instead of sapping the strength of Jewry - - have built up a strong-fibred resistance and have revitalized the traditional Jewish mission. Isjrael on die New Year rededicates itself to the inevitable victory of righteousness and justice, with peace and brotherhood among men.

Now that the status of the Jews has been regulated, it still remains to be seen whether individual acts of terrorism against Jews, about which even Reichsfuehrer Hitler found it necessary to comment, will be curbed or whether they will continue as before.
