La Paz, Bolivia (JTA) — With Nazis intensifying their activities, the press is urging the Government to exercise more careful surveillance of the fifth column in Bolivia. According to newspapers, t h e German school in La Paz, which is attended by some Bolivian children as well as Germans, is a center of Nazi activity. Several days ago a celebration was held in the school during*which a teacher demanded that the pupils give the "Hell Hitler" salute. An attempt was made in the school to replace portraits of Bolivar and S u c r e , Bolivia's liberators, with a picture of Hitler. In a cafe, a Nazi s h o u t e d : "Down with Bolivia! Long live Hitler!" Several anti-Semitic newspapers supported by the Nazis are conducting ; violent propaganda for expulsion of the Jews.

Paris, June 10 (JTA)—From the Jewish point of view, Italy's entry Into the war today has three major effects: (1) The 40,000 Italian Jews and more than 4,000 Jewish refugees in Italy are placed in a perilous position. (2) One of the last outlets for overseas emigration . of Jewish refugees from German territories is closed. (3) The war area is extended to the Mediterranean, bringing the danger of war to Palestine. The Italian preparations for war had been accompanied with mounting anti-Jewish feeling, resulting in rioting in Trieste last month in which windows of Jewish schools and synagogues were broken and several stores wrecked and ransacked. Later, Jewish stores reopened u n d e r police guard, but it was feared that today's war declaration would be followed by increased anti-Semitic agitation. For the more than 4,000 refugees in Italy, who had been seeking desperately in the face of insufficient emigration outlets and transportation facilities, to escape before Rome .entered the war, there now looms the possibility of deportation to German territory. A J. T. A. Rome dispatch on May 22 said the refugees were cognizant of the possibility ot being transported en masse to Nazioccupied Poland when war came. The. refugees in Italy include 260 from Poland for whom issuance of Palestine certificates has been authorized, another 100 German and Polish Jewish refugees with American visas and 445 with Dominican visas, who are stranded together with the several thousand, the largest group of whom are quartered in Trieste, who had no immediate emigration prospects. Italy is now also finally closed as a country of transit for refugees, although actually the Italian government had banned refugee transit last month. There were (Continued on page 0.)

ALIENS PLEDGE U.S. LOYALTY Principles of Democracy Recognized by Conference New York (JTA) — A pledge* of "unconditional loyalty" to the American Government and people has. been sent to "the competent authorities" by the Immigrants Conference 193!), which r e p r e sents more than 15 organizations of immigrants of all nationalities, races and creeds who had to leave Europe because of the National Socialist and Fascist revolution. The resolution said: "At a time when the inner and outer security of the neutral- countries is seriously threatened, the Conference wishes to express its unconditional loyalty to the Government of the United S t a t e s and to the American people in the name of its affiliated organizations a n d their individual members. ' "The Immigrants' Conference, considers the adherence to Amer* ican principals as a basis for the new life of the immigrant who has to show his gratitude for the equal rights which he enjoys in the United States by his loyal attitude towards t h e government and the people of the U n i t e d States. Abstaining from any interferference in the foreign and domes* tic policies of the United States, the organizations united in the Immigrants' Conference 1939 rec» ognize the principles of democracy such as they are laid down iu the Constiutibn of the U n i t'e <t States. They decline to maintain any connection whatsoever with the governments of their countries of origin and they reject any kind of dictatorship no matter of what political color. All these organizations are under obligation to keep their own ranks clear of all doubtful elements. They are determined' and ready to participate in the de. fense and protection of the democratic principles and .institutions of the United States at any time wherever they may be placed and whenever the people and the Government of the United States will call upon them."

Land of Dikes And Diamonds By Roman Slobodin

fHE JEWISH PRESS =========== Zionists were among the most dependable and consistent supporters of the Jewish National Home, and Holland was an important customer for Jewish exporters of citrus fruit from Palestiae. One important industry of Holland was notably Jewish in complexion — the diamond industry. The beginning of the Jews' importance in this field lay in the Jewish connection with Brazil, whose' "diamond fields were the foundation of'Holland's predominancein' Ihe'world Wade in these ems.' The 'Amsterdam diamond exchange closed on Saturdays and Jewish holidays. The Jewish population was notably proficient in its philanthropic activities, in the somewhat restricted sphere in which they were necessary. There were eight o 1 d peoples' homes in Amsterdam and homes for aged in other cities. There was also a well-developed system of mental institutions. Dr. Bloom pointed out the somewhat startling fact that the proportion of weak-minded Jews in institutions was two and one-half times as great as the proportion of hristians, a condition attributed partly to inbreeding and partly to the fact that the Jewish population is concentrated in c i t i e s where prompt check-up and institutionalization are possible. In other fields, it was not necssary for Jewish philanthropy to develop intensively, because the Jewish poor entitled to public aid on the same basis as other citizens. One outstanding Jewish project was the workers' village at Wieringen, on land reclaimed from the Zuyder Zee, where German refugees received agricultural and vocational training. A good Indicator of the status of the Jews in Holland, and their relations with the Christians, was cited by Dr. Bloom, who pointed out that in a drive to aid German refugees, which raised hundreds of thousands of guilders, "characteristically, 90 per cent of the contributors . . . are non-Jews."

Plain Talk By AL BBGAL,

POTATOES* It is brought to me that in a certain city a certain brand of potatoes is sold. The fact is though, that the article in question is not potatoes or anything else that is grown. It is, indeed, a eertain manufactured foodstuff and very good to the taste. "But, for obvious reasons, I Khali call it potatoes. Now these potatoes are grown and sold by a corporation of Jewish people. They have a big industry which gives employment to many of the people of their city. They call it, let us say, The Spud Potato Corporation. Their potatoes are sold all over town. One of their dealers tells me the story: The other day he was called tip by a woman: She desired some potatoes sent over to her house and what kind of potatoes did he handle. "Spud potatoes," the dealer replied. "Oh," she exclaimed, "those are the Jew potatoes. I don't wont them." Same Sound The dealer knew very well there is no racial distinction among potatoes. He knew only good potatoes and bad potatoes. He thought that between people It should be as among potatoes; they should be judged only by their characters . . . "Jew potatoes!" he snorted derisively. He was in the midst of these meditations when a Negro entered his store. "1 want a peck of potatoes," be said, "What kind have you?" "We handle only, the best," the dealer replied. "Spud potatoes." "Them's the Jew potatoes," the man said. "I don't want 'em." The dealer was shocked to come upon the two similar incidents within an hour. The matter suggested something rather widespread going on. Between the Negro and the woman who had called him up there was a whole world of eoclal difference; yet both carried the same hateful prejudice. On the lips of the Negro "Jew potatoes" had the samo sound of anti-social connotation as on the fairer lips of the woman who, as the dealer knew, resides in the gentle surroundings of a delectable suburb. He guessed that competitive potato industries had b e e n spreading the report that these were'"Jew potatoes." This was an old device of competitors. What troubled him moro was that "Jew potatoes" had found fertile soil in minds of widely separated elements of society. "Fifth Column" He had been reading about "fifth column" a n d "Trojan horses." Before Hitler attacked a country he had already conquered It by the Inside job of the fifth column. When he invaded a country numerous helpers were vomited out of the belly of the Ideological Trojan horse he had Installed long before. Weren't people like this woman and this Negro already conQuered by Hitler? Fifth columnists* Helpers in the belly of Hitler's Trojan horse. T h e ' dealer couldn't think lightly of the matter merely because it had to do only with "Jew potatoes." Events in the world were too dreadful for him to consider any manifestation o r Hitler lightly. • Hadn't Hitler started to conquer Germany- in just this way? Hadn't he brought Germans to unite behind him in hatred for Jews? Af tei» he had them united on this it was easier to lead them toward his goals—the totalitarian state, the end of liberty, AUDtrJa, Czechoslovakia; Poland and the current drive against civilization. He took them for a rido on the Trojan horse of anti-Semitism. , The dealer was troubled for America. He had seen and heard of Incidents besides the potatoes. Ip the want ad columns he had read that "Gentiles only" were -wanted for jobs. He had heard of skilled youths being tamed away from Jobs jaerely tsecatuse they were Jews. He didn't mind that Jews weren't wanted in some of the apartment houses and hotels. That was an old story and he wasn't one to quarrel with social discriminations;' he himself made social discriminations. But to boycott Jew© in business and Jews in /industry and Jews seeking a livelihood looked like the technique of Hitler in ail tbe places in which, 1&© has mareU-

THE JEWISH F&ESS ed on his conquering stride. Anti-Semitism seemed to have become much more than a pain of Jews. Didn't it have to do essentially with the safety of America itself? New Problem Wasn't it the first blow at democracy itself? We had started to arm in dread of Hitler, but hadn't Hitler already invaded the hearts of fellow-citizens? In this single instance he had taken in a lot of territory—from the height of the lady's heart in the middleclass suburb to the humble abode of the Negro. It was like one of those quick, deep thrusts through Belgium and France. The dealer felt it was no mere hysterical fancy of his that ascribed such incidents as these to the remote Nazis separated from America by the breadth of an ocean. There were no more distances of space or time. Only the day before on his radio he had heard the hideous sound of an air raid alarm in Paris. Ideas were flying quicker than any wind; hate had become as swift as an electrical impulse. Th.is voice of the Negro and the voice of the ladyy were keyed to the same note that Hitler had struck far back when he set out to conquer Germany. In all these seven years only Jews had been frightened by such voices. Wasn't this now something for America to fear? America was girding and seeking out Trojan horses and the fifth column of Nazism, Fascism and Communism. ' Wasn't this anti-Semitism the Trojan horse that was being sought everywhere? Who could mistake it? He had been hearing a. summons to unity in America. Could there be unity when anti-Semitism was going about to divide Americans one against the other by hate and fear? To foment disunity had been everywhere the fuiction of fifth columns and anti-Semitism had been the instrument. Yes, anti-Semitism had become a problem of America having to do with the safety of everything that America was arming to guard. The dealer thought these meditations which had sprung out of some potatoes ought somehow he given to the mind of America which is in fear of Hitler without being aware that hia Trojan horse (which America la so Jealously hunting) has been nakedly visible for quite a whilo.

Readers of the Jewish Press are urged to contribute to Omaha's Bed Cross war relief fund at once, since "the time is short and the need ia great," said Chairman Leo Bosell. Bozell pointed oat that Douglas county's quota has been doubled from 836,000 to 172,000, In keeping with the Increase in the national goal from 10 to 20 million Dollars. Thfa means that everyone must do his or her full share, he said. "Many individuals and firms have m a d e additional contributions because the quota has been doubled. Many more that have alreay contributed are expected to increase their original donations," Bozell cald. "Those who have not yet contributed are urged to give more1 than they Intended." ''• "Naturally, everyone has oympathy for tbe millions of helpless women and children that are war refugees. Sympathy won't do the job, we most raise money to buy food, clothing a n d - medicines to send overseas at once." f Contributions should be mailed to the Red Cross, 15th and Dodge streets, Omaha, or taken to the Red Cross offices, 430 Omaha L o a n and Building Association building. While minimum contributions of one dollar are suggested, any amount will be gladly received, Red Cross officials said.

DAVID BLACKER—Business and Managing Editor LEONARD NATHAN Editor RABBI THEODORE N. LEWIS - Book Editor FRANCES BLACKER - - Society Editor MORRIS AIZENBERG—Sioux City Correspondent

Shabuoth During the week to come, Jews of the world •will observe another holiday. Like a good many Jewish holidays this one has a certain agricultural significance — the celebration of the end of the grain harvest in the Holy Land. But of much greater significance is the fact it commemorates the gift of the Ten Commandments. Never haa the world stood in greater need of the Decalogue — the ten simple laws that would pave the world from much heart-ache and destruction. We stand today in a wilderness — all of us, rich man, poor man, black, white, and yellow. On two continents people are l o c k e d in desperate struggles for the mastery of others. On this continent we look on in horror and amazement, never knowing what the future will be. Hardly a commandment of the original ten remains intact. Altars have been built to false goda and to these new idols millions of lives are being sacrificed. In this generation we have witnessed the resurgence of paganism, the gloating triumph of atheistic and materialistic doctrine. The moral concepts and ethical values of Judaism and Christianity have been exchanged for a mess of pottage, the illusionary hope of force and brutality. Stealing has become a fine art, a practice that Is now the privilege of governments. Parents are s o longer honored but must bow to the state—and •we hear the tragic tales of German children who report their parents to the secret pollc for sentiments ezpessed in the supposed sanctuary of home. It la well for us to look once more to the Decalogue, to recall for what it has stood these thousands of yeara. And It is well for those who would betray It, also to observe. Though the Jews have been decimated in nummers time and time again, they have clung tenaciously to a stern morality. ; Monuments in Rome and Egypt attest to the '.momentary trumph of enemies, but stronger than these granite rocks have been the Tablets of the

Law. ;

The triumph of evil is never for long. It is tragic because it brings suffering, because in its •wake is destruction. But only when it Is responsible for doubt and faithlessness to ideals can it count Itself victor.

Fifth Columns . Despite warnings from high places against hysteria in ferreting out subversive elements, the combatting of "Fifth Column" activities in this country has so tar revealed nothing but confusion. Instead of enemy and traitorous elements being : investigated and suitably handled, anti-alien drives have been set in motion and under the leadership ' of congressional demagogues every effort seems to be made to hinder the tracking down of the real source of* danger to the nation's continued wellbeing. Since the advent of the Hitler regime, many -,ln America have been awake to the nefarious ac. tivities of pro-Nazi groups in this country. Long before the assumption of power by the Nazis, the "'lilustrirte Beabachter," a Berlin pictorial paper belonging to Hitler, was.proudly publishing pictures of Nazi 'cells' in America. These groups were pictured with rifles, indicating to the German public, at least, that the intentions were strictly 'militarist' . . . . . Following the N a i l revolution, we became aware of large numbers of Nazi leaders in this country. It is no accident that anti-Semitism in this country became militant with the seizure of power by the Nazis. Anti:Semitism as a movement .hjad never existed in this country until Hitler began his propaganda campaign, and it has now-become obvious that this was merely a smokescreen to cloak his activities. The techniques of the American j

groups were patterned too closely after the German model — and the source of the propaganda was gimo&t entirely Erfurt, in Germany. At a time when the local anti-Semites were screaming off their heads about 'Refugees' flooding the country, thousands of German farm-hands •were making their appearance in the middle-west —able-bodied young men woh came at a time "when Germany was supposedly suffering an acute labor shortage and was actually seeking laborers in this country. Research organizations in this country have revealed the extent to which the Nazis have penetrated our national Jife and how they have utilized nativist groups to weaken our policy. The evidence is tremendous and conclusive. But Congressional efforts this far have been chaotic and ineffective. Bundsinen and Communists have been investigated so much they are pretty generally known. But of greater danger are those Nazi-minded individuals who are American born or who have recently acquired citizenship upon order of the German government. The smaller nations of Europe were undermined not by German Nazis but by Quissllngs and Degrellea and de Muserts and Moseleys. Without the active co-operation of these Germany would never have advanced so rapidly. In America we have to beware of Communists and Nazis, but the danger lies with those groups who have been subsidized by the Nazis. Business men have been drawn into this net on the pretence they T^ere fighting communism. Remnants of the Irish. Republican army have been enlisted on their anti-British sentiments. In this country and Latin America large numbers were won into the Fascist sphere by showing Franco as the savior of religion, in reality Germany today constitutes a greater danger to Capitalism than even Russia and Spain ranks only next to Germany and Russia as the persecutor of religion. This country faces a task. One hesitates to be an alarmist. Because we refused to believe that treason could become so wide-spread, we have hesitated to constantly harp on one subject. Today the nation is aware of Its danger, but more than awareness is needed. Hysteria, rather than saving us, will be our most dangerous enemy.

For

the Helpless

For the past two weeks the Omaha Red Cross has been making a concerted effort to raise Its quota for the benefit of European war victims. "We are a people who know what suffering in Europe means and are not apt to turn a deal ear to the pleas of this organization. Sympathetic as we Americans are, we cannot comprehend the tragedy occuring in Europe, We think by reading our papers and listening to our radios that we get a picture of ruthless destruction. But in no way does this reveal the enormity of disaster. With modern instruments of war, a battle becomes a horrible thing. The suddenness Of attack gives little opportunity for civilians to flee before the onslaught. When President Roosevelt a few months ago spoke of from ten to twenty million refugees resulting from this war, the Allied nations were angered and their representatives politely corrected him. Already three million refugees have converged upon Paris and several million more were trapped in Flanders. Nor is this the end. The hand-maiden of war, famine, has not as yet made its appearance but by autumn it is expected to have gained full-away, regardless of who Is the victor. Fields that should have been cultivated arp battlefields. Men who should be in the fields are at war. In the Balkans, breadbasket of Central Europe, little land Is under cultivation. And where man has been unable to work, nature has done its share. The severity of the past winter has had a devastlng effect on both food reserves and the crops in the field. The Red Cross and every relief agency trill have its resources taxed to the utmost. It would be easier, as we are unfortunately prone to do, to avert our eyes and cars, to pretend we have not heard. But this Isn't the way we as Americans and as Jews do things-. There Is a definite need. Human beings are suffering through no fault of their own. They are the innocent victims of the cruel game of power politics. We should show gratitude for our relative security by helping those whose misfortune it was to trust in the dubious pledges of men in power.

Violence shall no more be beard in thy land, desolation nor destruction within-thy borders; thou shalt call thy walls salvation and thy gates praise. Thy people also shall be all righteous; they shall Inherit the land forever. ... ..

URGE BRITONS CHECK FRANKLY CRUEL PROPAGANDA SPEAKING London (JTA)—A letter to the Daily Telegraph, signed by t n e Archlienip of York, Sir John Hope Simpson, Col. Josiah Wedgwood and others, appeals to all citizens to check the "cruel" and "ill-informed" propaganda against refugees. "The vast majority of refugees themselves are victims of Nazi tyranny and are as hostile to the regime as we ourselves," the letter said. The Manchester G u a r d i a n meanwhile, urges the professions to reconsider t h e i r prejudice against refugees. "Is it still a fact that the services of refugee doctors and nurses are not being used in civilian hospitals, however short of adequate staff these hospitals are or are likely to be?" the paper asked. Mrs. A. C. Kennedy, president of the Women's Jewish Mission, declared at the assembly of the Church of Scotland in Edinburgh that it was vitally important that the thousands of refugees now in England should take with them a favorable impression of Britain and British hospitality.

By PAT FRANK J, T. A. Washington Press Bureau The biggest news that has come out of Europe in the last terrific month, it may turn out, was not the reports of battles, even though they were fought with a ferocity and loss of life without precedent in history. The biggest news did not reach Washington all in a lump. It filtered in piecemeal — a report from Moscow, a hint from an unguarded souce in Berlin, the story of a Polish refugee scientist. It didn't go to the State Department, or the War Department, but to the Department of Agriculture, where the Bureau of Agricultural Research carefully compiles the food situation of the whole world — so they can inform American farmers what to grow, and how much to grow. And this big news Is that the crops of all Europe are failing tlds year, and the Forth Horse* man, Famine, has its fingers on Europe's throat. Baldly, this means that if Hitler grasps all Europe, he will have on Ills hands a starving continent. It is doubtful whether e v e n Germany, which has amassed vast food reserves, will hare sufficient grain to feed its p o p u l a t i o n through the coming winter. Of course we must assume that Germans will be fed before any of the subject peoples — Poland, Norway, tho Netherlands, Czecho-SloYak i n and Belgium. A civilian population is not restful when it is starving. It seems that some power superior even to Hitler took a hand in world affairs, for the failure ot the European crops was not due alone to the lack of manpower to plant, this Spring, or to war's inevitable devastation.

This last winter was the most severe of tho century, and -the ground thawed late. So the planting was* late everywhere, which meant less acreage could be planted, particularly since so many farmers were mobilized. E v e n in Russia a 10 per cent crop loss is Orthodox reported.

TO EVACUATE COAST CITIES OF PALESTINE (Continued from Page 1.) points only when in possession of special permits. Blackout is in effect in Haifa nightly from 11 p. m. A. R. P. plans generally had not advanced beyond tbe paper stage. Plans for construction of public A. R. P. shelters were adopted by the Haifa and Tel Aviv municipalities before the outbreak of the

•war.

In Jerusalem a chief concern is the maintenance of w a t e r and food supplies. The Jerusalem water supply comes from the Ras-elAjn wells, s o m e 60 kilometers from Jerusalem. Enemy air activity over Palestine might well destroy or so damage the water system as to leave Jerusalem without

water.

Pear for Water Supply The Jewish community organisation in Jerusalem consequently has urged the Palestine administration to accumulate water supplies in Jerusalem reservoirs and also to repair the water supply from the famous Solomon Pools, some 8 kilometers from Jerusalem, which for centuries has been the city's main source of water. Tbe Jewish community also appealed to all householders in Jerusalem possessing water tanks to keep them filled for emergency. Meanwhile, many Italian women and children have applied for exit visas and are leaving for Italy Immediately. In a measure directed against spread of false rumors, the Government has banned radios from all cafes, shops, automobiles and other places accessible to the public, except by special permit from the High Commissioner's office. Palestine police are still arresting Germans, Including women, In the now nearly completed drive to eliminate all possible fifth column elements in the country.

She brought back a charming report replete with the touch of pathos, the bit of fun, the review of business and a message from one of the leaders. Mrs. Levenson further reported that Mrs. D. A. Goldstein spoke on the Zionist Congress. Mrs. Bender spoke on "Hadassah Meets the Crises;" the summing up and highlight of her talk was the message that "humanity is no more important than the individuals of which it is made up—and so with nations —." She went on to say that if we, the Jewish people, don't take care of our own and help to build the little nation of .Palestine, who will? Hadassah Is constantly on the job; there must be any number of immigrants entering Palestine legally or illegally a n d Hadassah is helping a n d must continue to aid in the care of all of them.

Some Jews In -world-at-war may look upon the . afjtrQKh of another Jewish fest< lvat -as an event quite unimpGrtmat In companion with the daily ' tragedies involved in the clash of opposing armies. Stories of the relentless onward rush of thousands of lumbering tanks, the roar of heavy guns, the drone of planes • overhead, the terrifying speed of dive bombers, the daily calamity . •? of the blotting out of thousands , of strong young lives, the sickening spectacle of harassed, weeping columns of war refugees — all of t h e s e , and the study of maps, monopolise our attention. Little •toe but the war can draw our attention in these fateful days. Tet the festival of Shabuct has something to tell us, something Important enough to demand our consideration. It is an idea basic to the normal and proper functioning of human society. Forgetting this idea has cost mankind two destructive wars in the course • of a single generation. The second, the struggle now in progress, will present mankind with a bill which will take several generations to repay; and it is not only playing with words to say that the cost reckoned in cultural terms may take several centuries to repay — may result even in spiritual bankruptcy, the annihilation , of western civilization. The idea Implicit in Shabuot could have prevented all this. Agricultural Festival In explaining the idea in question — later iu these linea — it will be well to notice that It was • not included in the festival in an' dent times. The Bible describes Shftbuot exclusively as an agricul! tural festival, and it calls it the - Festival of the Harvest and the j, Day of First Fruits, as well as the i Festival of W e e k . s (Shabuot) ' celebrated seven weeks after the » I second1 day of Passover. It mark). ed the end of the grain harvest— ] with the gathering in of the wheat j — just as Passover marked its bo• j.' sinning with the ingathering of !, the barley crop. - j But in post-Biblical times the .! rabbis aslgned a historic signifi\] eance to Bhabuot, as well as the earlier agricultural importance. t^They proved that it was on Sha> buot that Israel assembled at 81. ' nal to accept the Torah, which '. was ever after to be the guide of I, Jewish life. Since rabbinic times, >' and particularly after the destruction of Jewish Independence, Shabuot has been known to us almost . : exclusively, and has been cele• brated exclusively, as the Time of , the Giving of Our Torah. Our Shabuot customs may all - ", be explained in terms of this as' , pert of the holiday. The chanting . of Akdamuth before the reading • * of. the Torah for the first day is .- In keeping with the anniversary of the acceptance of the Ten Com1 mandments. The reading of the : Book of Ruth, the moving tale of a Blmple alien woman who embraced the Jewish faith, is reminiscent of the solemn pledge of the Israelites at Sinai to follow God's law. The eating of milk dishes in the • home is a •symbol of the comparsion of the Torah to milk and honey. Another custom is to spend ,1 the night of shabuot in the study of the Torah, and a special order of study (the Tikkun) has been -, arranged. Even the widespread •', practice of decorating the home • • and the synagogue w i t h late \ spring flowers, plants, and foll; age may be a symbol of the joy ;< "with which the Israelites greeted i' the granting of the Torah. And for somewhat more than a century the custom has grown up among us to hold Confirmation . • exercises on Shabuot, consecrating I young Jewish boys and girls to ; the faith of their fathers and the •; service of their God, accepting the i Torah anew, as it were. :'.

moral laws, as well, like the law, "Love thy neighbor as thyself." Jews h a v e understood, and Christians with them, that just as refusal to reckon with the physical laws of the universe brings failure and destruction, BO too defiance of the naor&l laws of human relationships brings failure and destruction. It is that failure and destruction with which we are now faced. The war has crystallised these ideas for us, in a great and horrible drama of tragedy. The development of the plot Is inexorable. Moral law has been .disobeyed. In place of truth there is brazen lie; in place of sctecce there is opportunistic propaganda; instead of brotherly love there is insane race hatred; instead of harmony and unselfishness there is greed; ins t e a d of constructive work — bombs and bullets; cannon, not butter. The second act Is now in progress; the bombs and bullets are being put to use. We do not know what the final act will be. The last curtain is yet. to be rung down. Fehaps there will be total darkness. Perhaps some light. Dut is is in any case a horrible drama. For they are not actors, who demonstrate in drama the workings of the world of moral law. They are men and wmen of flesh and blood, and little children. The b o n e s shattered and the blood flowing in battle are real bones and blood. The homes destroyed, the lives wrecked, the cities c r u s h e d to dust, are real homes and lives and cities . . . Consequences of Failure An engineer, in building a great bridge, must calculate the stresses and strains, the strength of metals, the pressure to which they will be subjected. Precise, nxact laws of physics will determine the structure of the bridge. If these laws are not observed, the bridge will fail under heavy traffic. Innocent, trusting passers-by will crash to destruction. It is the same with moral laws. The principles are not so clearly defined, not so susceptible to scientific test and to laboratory verification. Denial of them does not bring such immediate warning, it is true, such immediate punishment. But it must come. A society which refuses to guard itself against a denial of the moral law —which Jews call Torah—must bo prepared to face the consequences, the destruction of t h e masses of peace - loving people who are the innocent passers-by. It is unfortunate that the inno-

cent must suffer. Sometimes the engineer escapes unharmed. There is a rabbinic lengend that God refusedto give the Torah to Israel before guaranters were produced who would promise Israel's faithful observance of the law. Israel offered Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in turn, but God refused to accept them as sufficient bond. Israel suggested the prophets. But they were not acceptable. Finally the Israelites presented their children, as security for the observance of the Torah and its principles of just human relationships . . . Our world too has offered its children as security. We have not kept the moral law. The security is being confiscated. Millions of young lives will be snuffed out. And children, and children's children, will labor to pay the costs of cannon-not-butter; they may even be slaves for centuries to ignorance and deceit and barbarism. Acceptance But one thing is certain. Should light remain and this thick darkness be lifted; .should some children be released from their role as hostages and be returned to a shattered and contrite w o r l d ; should mankind be given a new chance to learn and build — mankind must understand for all time that only on justice and, truth can a world be built. The Ten Commandments and the Torah, the gifts of God to man on Shabuot, cannot idly be put aside. They must be studied. They must be cherished. They must be observed. Nor are they for Jews alone. They are for all men. When the voice of the Lord thundered forth the words of the Commandments, our rabbis say that they were not heard by Israelites on Sinai alone. But the words were heard in 70 different l a n g u a g e s , in the tongues of all men, in every corner of the world. All men may have them. If the world wills to live again in peace and friendship, in plenty and satisfaction, in culture and humanity, this T o r a b must be accepted gratefully and observed willingly by all men.
