NEW YORK.—(J. T. A.)—Pro.
fessor V. N. Madgearu, a leader
of the Peasants' party, created a
sensation in the Roumanian I ar-
lianwnt by charging that the gov-
ernment hail deliberately provoked'
anti-Semitic riots in which two
men were killed and many injured
to divert public attention from
the political crisis, an Associated
Press dispatch from Bucharest de-
clares. . •
Madgearu asserted the govern-
ment did the same thing in 1923
when there was a movement
against the severe provisions of
the constitution.
The government deliberately
fostered the anti-Jewish demon-
strations in the last few days,"
said Madgearu, "so Os to remove
the sanctions taken three years
ago against the leaders of the
anti-Semitic movement who were
expelled from the universities.
The government now asks that
these students be readmitted to'!
the universities."
Professor Madgearu said that al
month ago the government gave!
3,000,000 lei to the university stu-
dents to support the anti-Semitic
movement.
Another reason, he charged,
that the government provoked the
present racial agitation in Tran-
sylvania was to furnish an excuse
for the creation of a new force of
10,000 gendarmes in that terri-
tory. Ile asked the government
why it had taken no precautions
to prevent anti-Semitic outrages
in the face of the fact that Dr.
William Filderman had warned
the government that the students
were preparing for such disorders.
M. Duca, minister of the in-
terior, replied that the govern-
ment would make no statement
until it learns all the facts.
Madgearu said the students, de-
fying the police and gendarmerie,
indulged in the wildest excesses,
terminating in their setting fire to
a synagogue at Cluj. They seized
the vestments of the rabbis, in
which they attired themselves in
mockery, shouting epithets against
the Jews.

NOTED LEADERS
OF CHAUTAUQUA
TO GATHER HERE

The Feast of Chanukah

The Feast of Chanukah, also known as the Feast of
Dedications, and by other appropriate titles, occurs this
year on Dec. 19 and will be observed in the synagogue
for eight days thereafter, starting from the evening
of Dec. 18.
This festival is a minor holiday and is reminiscent
of the Maccabean victory in the battle for Israel's faith
when the prophetic promise was verified "Not by might,
nor by power, but by My Spirit, saith the Lord of
Hosts,"
It recalls in particular the eventful years of 168 to
165 13. C. E., in Palestine. During that period Antio-
chus Epiphanes, or "the mad man," King of Syria, had
resolved to quench the lamp of religious liberty and re-
sorted to the crude tyrannies of imperialists to compel
all subject peoples to speak one language and worship
according to a rtival approved by the appointed priests
of his empire, who naturally followed the polytheistic
liturgy of the Greeks, then in a state of decadence.
The enforcement of this royal decree was manda-
tory on all peoples, including the Palestinian Jews. In
compliance with this tyrannical edict the Temple on the
Mount Moritth (Jerusalem) was desecrated and the
altar of the high priest was displaced by a hideous idol,
the work of man's hands, and an abomination of human
shame and self-degradation. Throughout the country,
many weaklings, fearing the mandates of Antiochus,
yielded to the promptings of their affrighted hearts and
listened to the tempting voices counseling treason to
the God of their fathers. These cowards submitted to
the blasphemies of the monarch and worshipped the
idolatrous images. It seemed as if Israel and his sacred
heritage were doomed to be swept away by the rising
tide of heathenism.
The enforced obedience to these idolatrous prac-
tices of paganism which were an abomination to the
Jew, was it factor in fanning the flames of revolt that
soon broke out when imperialistic tyranny added op-
pression to violence.
This insurrection was headed by a priest of Modin,
Mattathias by name, a member of a princely Jewish
family who rallied a small band of loyal followers to
defy the king anti wrest freedom for his countrymen
from the tyrannnies and blasphemies of the mad em-
peror. Supported by Judah, his son, to whom tradition
has given the name Maccabee, and his four heroic
brothers the Asmoneans led to triumph the handful of
embattled Palestinian farmers who, by their invincible
strength and death-defying zeal for their God and coun-
try, defeated all the Syrian generals sent against them
in successive campaigns covering a period of four
years.
The final victory of the insurgent Maccabeans hap-
pened according to the Hebrew calendar on the 25th
day of Kislev, corresponding to the month of December,
in the year 165 B. C. E. Following the victory the Tem-
ple at Jerusalem was renovated the idolatrous images
removed and the altar rededicated to the worship of the
one anti only God.
In the Jewish religious school and in many Jewish
homes, the celebration of Chanukah with its lights, sym-
bols of cheer and hope, recounts these historical events
and emphasizes the firm conviction that the day will
come when justice, hive and mercy will be exalted and
selfishness and hatred between races and religions laid
low. This festival voices the hope that all men will
eventually be banded together in one covenant of love
and righteousness and all mankind will turn to God
alone as Ruler of the World.

of the world beginning in the fall
of 1924, during which he visited
every country in Europe and Asia

and Jewish need. He saw the he-
roic effort of Russian Jewry to ex-
tricate itself, by taking up farm-
ing on • large scale, from the eco-
nomic trap in which they had been
caused by the revolutionary
change of the economic philosophy
of that country. He saw the des-
