The Defection of France Atacst a year fc&s passed since France h&s been living uci«r tbe terms of the Armistice 1mjposed after the tragic e&pit illation of tfce French armies. No douLt, Hitler did &ot visualise at the time that Briteia would^ bold on indefinitely Mid fiiiKl peace terms weald not be reached. Under the cireuuist«Bcea it baa t*een necessary to Coordinate Nari gaius OH tfae eoEtinent find get the New Order into shape. Thus Hitler has forced Fiance into collaboration. This recent act of the Men of Vieby Is the secor.4 act of betrayal.- In the light of recent events, it is becoming clear that France was actually betrayed last June. No matter now badly beaten tbe army of the north, the fleet was intact and the colonies in a favorable position to give ttroag as? distance to the British. The defeat of Napoleon III la 1870 was every bit as disastrous, yet t h e people of Paris held out for 132 days, until there was not as much as a crumb of bread ia the city. Greece, Holland, and Norway have continued as belligerents and from their colonial empires are giving what assistance they can to the British. France has turned out to be the weak-sister of Europe. French patriotism was supposedly legendary, every Frenchman loving his land with a deep passion. Yet no country produced such first-rate traitors. Leading French governmental figures were closely collaborating with Germany and Italy lone before tbe war broke out in tbe full knowledge that in doing no they were weakening France. Laval was convinced of a French defeat before hostilities started—having done everything in his power to inBUre such, a defeat Admiral Darlan, as commander of the fleet, should have had eome sympathy for the British, cause. Instead be was jealous of British sea supremacy and was outspokenly anti-British. F/andin was pro-Nazi, retain was pro-Cagoulard, Badouin was pro-Muaeolini. The idea ot bringing about a United States of Europe by collaboration with Hitler is pure poppycock. One of the main reasons for the failure ot Europe to unite was the fear that one nation would dominate any sach concert of powers. As far back a« the time of Henry IV of France, bis minister Sully had proposed a Confederation of States with France aa the principal power. Napoleon attempted to organise the continent and woo over each people as Goethe, who visualized the French leader as tHe 'Man of Europe.' All these attempts failed because they were s o t an effort to bring peace and security to Europe but to freeze the status quo by the power at the moment dominating the scene. That it took so Ions for the men of Vichy to Eaake up their minds regarding collaboration, with Germany indicates that they are not so sold on the Idea; The people certainly cannot be made to be sympathetic to- a nation that has" twice invaded their territory and brought them only death and destruction. They cannot bo made to forget that on two recent occasions Britain has been an ally. Oae can -appreciate the ordeal .through which France ia going. Hundreds of thousands of her men-are prisoners of war. T&e nation Is split Into two parts. The people are hungry. Nevertheless other nations are undergoing the same tragedies and willingly if they know that their" straggles win not be' in vafn. ' France, we regret Jto say, has Ipsjt \ the sympathy of free people, . ".

AB far as the Nasis are converned, the Jews are merely a convenient channel for their nef&rioas tacts. Anti-Semitism has been the real Trojan lioree. If it is true the Nasis are readying a new campaign, the Jews of America mast brace themselves for tbe shock. But 'non-Jews also, regardless of political affiliation or religions belief, must come to understand that the real object of attack is not the Jew. Even those, wbo for one reason or another do not particularly like the Jews, must learn to Judge carefully what is propaganda and what is its intention. \Ve are facing trying times. The understanding, the intelligence, the sympathy of all America is going to be taxed. But we have faith that the Axis propaganda attempts will be no more successful this time than in the past. Americans have been horrified witnesses of the downfall of those nations where the propaganda has borne fruit

TALMUD Rabbi Ashl said, "A scholar who is not firm In his conviction cannot be considered a scholar." When Rabbi Nachman w&s to depart he said to Rabbi Isaac, "Bless me." And he answered, "I shall tell thee a parable to which may this incident of your request be likened unto, that of a man who once went into the desert fend when he became hungry, thirsty and tired he found a tree bearing luscious fruit and affording plenty of shade with a spring of water runing underneath. He ate of tbe fruit, drank of the water and rested beneath the shade. When about to leave he turned to the tree and said, Tree! Tree! Wherewith can I bless thee? That thy fruit may be sweet? These you have. That a spring may be near three? Even these thou hast. That t h o u shouldst afford plenty of shade? Also that thou hast. The one thing left which I can wish thee is that all trees planted from thy seed may be as fruitful as thou art. So it is with thee. Shall I bless thee with knowledge? This thou bast. Shall I bless thee with dignity? This thou also hast Shall I bless thee with honor? Thou has that also. Shall I bless thee with riches? That thou hast also. Shall I bless three w i t h children? Even children thou lackest not. Hence all I can say to you is this: May be God's will that your children be as good as Through the iron-band of censorship has come thorn art." an amazing story of the action of a Rumanian Bishop, Nikolai Balcin, who in the presence of the officials of tbe pro-Naxi government, denounced the Iron Guard and the Nazis as representatives of a brutal paganism. Anti-Semitism and Nasi facial doctrines were likewise the objects of his wrath. For a representative of the Rumanian church to By PAT FRANK stand up in defence of tbe Jews requires an unusual amount of courage.

But, even as this is written, the Office in London hasn't changed its policies one whit, altlifeugh it may not be too late to place arms in the hands of Palestine's figbtiiig men to allow them to defend themselves. Military men tell me that in view of Palestine's Jewish population, t h e British could form four - - possibly five - - complete Jewish divisions. And General Wavell, faced wlik the terrible threat of a nuMMter pincher movement closing on tbe soea Canal, would have a reserve force ready made - - a f o r c e which, while not highly trafcaed, (for so ranch time has been lost) etill would fight to the last man, hec&Bge they, better than any other people in the world, know what for what they are fighting. Is it too late? It depends upon the speed with which the N a i l PanEer divisions are able to strike through Turkey, for between Palestine and the Nasds there n o w stands only Turkey, and a small portion of French-mandated territory which doesn't count, in a military way. Bat it depends more upon the ability of the Jews to bring alxwt an immediate reversal In British policy. Somehow, the British Colonial Office must be jolted oat of its stupor. ' Only from the United States can sufficient pressure be brought to convince the Colonial Office that it Is time to place guns In the hands of the Jews in Palestine. But Palestine, we should not forget, is an American as well as a British responsibility. - The United States Senate, by resolution nearly twenty years ago, assumed that responsibility. It seems to this writer that It is a solemn duty of the govern* ment of the United States to see that the people of Palestine are equipped to defend themselves. It Is a duty by Senate resolution, and it is a more recent duty by° the provisions of the lease-lend aid to the democracies bill. Certainly Palestine is as a democracy as Greece or Yugoslavia. Certainly, from a strategic as well as a moral reaaoav it ehoold receive sbiBmeata off American arms through the R e # Sea gateway. If the Cternaaa race through Turkey - - and at the moment there seems Uttte to atop them - - then Palestine v»i|l be the last bulwark protecting the Saes CaaaL The Sne* Caaal to important to America as well a s Britain. It Is part of our sea lanes. And 1% is the only door, except the, sabmerine-infestod Atlantic, by which oar aid can reach Borope. If (fete British Colonial Office now fails to arm the Jews of Palestine, then it ranril forever accept the blamo of what may be the most awful pogrom of med«rn times. It is as certain as day follows night that- the Nazi hordes, once unleashed In the Holy Land, would, bathe In the blood ef unarmed Jews*. All the toil oa the banea hlNk and all tho blood spilled la the trooMed: years and- all t h e blood spilled in the troabled j e a n and cH the sweat of a people earving oat '© oew homel&aft ia a a atadent lisnC&iid all the tears - all this would be wiped oat In a day of tmcoecbed savagery. This is not good news, bat this Is not the time to Bpeakv rosy words when the sky is totally black. .There has been enough of wishful thinking already. A great many of the Jews la Palesttoe have spent years fleeing from Hitler. T&ey fled Germany to 'Csecho-Slovakla and France, and Rumnnlo, and they fled these countries. Most of them spent all their fortunes to reach this land which they considered their own, to start anew. Now the beast Is close' upon them again - - and there Is no other place for theav to

Good Name • Mr. Tamienbauua died recently. He was known affectionately as "Jake" all "over town. The sign over his store read "Jake Tennenbaum." The conductors on the street saluted him by name if he happened to be on the sidewalk when they urove by. They knew him as an old friend of their families. They had heard of his good name from their fathers who had heard from their fathers what an honorable, fairdealing man Jake Tennebaum was. I Mr, Tennenbaum was thankfuljjr..proud o? the name he had. It was not merely a name that was inherited; K was a name he bad earned because a name is worth only what you make of it. * His business had prospered through the 55 years altogether ©n account of {its good name whose repute the first generation f his customers had handed even to their children's ( own Children. It all went back more than 55 years—to the early eighties when the thousands from Russia began coming over here. Mr. Tehnebaum was from the Lithuanian part—Suwalki. He was one of the last of those early immigrants in our town. 4 Early Struggle ' Their lives were a lovely American epic. Sometimes their sons took back reverentially at the Whole story.

They are people in th«ir late seventies and eighties. In the sunlight, on their porches, they sit these spring mornings thankful for the way things turned out for them. Their work had made them moderately prosperous and they had lived to see their children respected people iu the city. They had rendered unto God what was due to Him, too. Their synagogues were splendid edifices and it was all right that some of them still carried mortgages. The mortgages would be handed down to the children and it was good that the children would have burdens to carry and to labor against. It wasn't good to make things too easy for the children. The cheder they had founded for their children in a tenement house room had become a great bureau of Jewish education. Old Mr. Schachet who was the first teacher had been succeeded by a faculty of college-trained teachers. Yes, it had all come out well. Tile goodness of the children, the goodness of Jewish life, the goodness of the things they built. Began as Peddler Mr. Tennenbaum was one of the figures of this epic of our town. He began as a peddler with a large pack on his back. Old people all over town remembered him from that time, especially the Irish up on Mt. Adams. Mt. Adams was the first place he went to when he started out with his peddler's pack. Old people said proudly yes, they knew Jake when he was a peddler and came to their houses with his big bundle. They kuew him as an honorable man who always dealt fairly with them, a kindly friend. They were happy as for some kinsman making good when they heard, in the year 1886, that Jake Tennenbaum had opened a furniture store. They said Jake deserved to get along so well, considering how square ho had always been. They followed him to his store. They said they knew they would always be treated right by Jaka.

They told their children. When their children were getting ready to be married they went to Jake's store. They called him Uncle Jake. Mr. Tennenbaum was always in business in the same place. Other merchants were moving around and the stream of traffic was running away to other streets, but Jake Tenaeab&uin's good name had become like some revered landmark in his block. He was a tradition and people weut to Jake's sentimentally, as they liked to go to Trinity church, farther down the street, long after they had moved out of the neighborhood. Grandchildren Mr. Tennenbaum became poignantly aware of his many years when the grandchildren of the Gradys, t h e Bradys and the O'Briens began coming to his store to buy the things for their own household. "You know my grandfather. He was Mr. Grady. He always spoke of you as "Jake." Grady's gnanqcraughter! Yes, he kuew Grady from the time he was a peddler. Up there on the hill. Grady was one of he first people he called on with his pack. Grady was friendly to him, a stranger. A gou-j man, Grady. The fifty years had passed and he, Jake Tennenbaum, had been held in honor from the time of his first customer even unto now. As far back as that . . , "Yes, your grandfather Grady." That was something to have lived for — to earn this good name, he thought. He was already along in his seventies. His short, stocky figure now moved about more slowly in his familiar scene. He gave the impression of a man who had added up his life, the good and the sorrow", and was content with the sum of it. >« He had been faithful in all things, to God as to men. In his busiest years he had never missed the service of tho synagogue in the morning. He had kept the Sabbath.

For to further that effort, to help speed it along 1 in any possible way, we have offered the vast facilities of the Rouge Plant and every ounce of our experience. As you read these words, a new $21,000,000 Ford airplane engine plant, started only last fajl, is nearly completed. A new magnesium alloy plant, one of the few

in the country, is already in production on lightweight airplane engine castings. Work is right now under way on a new $18,000,000 plant for mass production of big bomber assemblies. Orders have been filled for military vehicles of several types, including army reconnaissance cars, army staff cars and bomb service trucks. In the midstof this activity for National Defense, building the 29 millionth Ford car is simply one pare of the day's wdrk. The public has acclaimed the 1941 Ford car as the finest in Ford history. Ford Dealers are enjoying their greatest sales and expecting their best year since 1937. It is good to be producing the things America needs, and to be setting records on the way!
