JUDAS: You have chutzpah,
you Latkeh. You any one more
word and I'll eat you up, and
then I'll be the only Chanukah
hero.

If I get good and mad I'll
erase my name from the story
of Chanukah and then every-
body will forget it's a holiday
and they won't celebrate. Then
your latkehs won't be eaten
and you'll have to be thrown to
the garbage.

LATKEII: Well, I'm not
afraid of you. What do you
think of that? Because you
stay in the calendar and we'll
have Chanukah anyway. You
were a great hero and we won't
let you erase your name from
the Chanukah story. I have a
calendar and Chanukah is
marked right down. It's a Jew-
ish National Fund calendar, too.
JUDAS: That's what I am
trying to tell you. I have a
National Fund calendar, just
like your. But they don't men.
Lion Latkehs here. They men-
tion my holiday. That makes
me a bigger hero than you.
LATKEH: But Jews eat me
and like me. And you like
Latkehs, too, don't you?

JUDAS: You bet I do.
LATKEII: Then let's have
fun, play Chanukah records on
the phonograph, dance, sing
songs and have a jolly good
time.

JUDAS: 0. K. Let's dance
and sing and be trends right
now and every Chanukah.

THE SHAMES, (speaking to
first candle): Why are you so
happy tonight? Why are you all
lit up and act as if this were a
holiday? It's so cold out, it's
snowing and wintry. and you're
acting like you're having a swell
time.
FIRST CANDLE: You're just
fooling, my boy. I think you want
me to tell you the old story over
and over again, because you are
also having a swell time. Well,
let me tell you. I am the oldest
of all the candles and I am there-
fore first to be blessed. I am
Mattathias, the father of the
Maccabees. I am the man who
refused to let the Syrian Greeks
despoil our synagogues and force
us to eat the forbidden food. I
am the father who told his sons
to organize an army and to drive
the Syrians out of the country.
SECOND CANDLE: And I am
the oldest of the sons. That's
why I am all lit up and ready for
a party. My name is Judas, and
they called me Maccabeaus. You
know why, don't you? Because
Maccabee means the Hammerer.
I was the Hammerer. I didn't let
those Syrians get away with any
of their monkeyshines. As soon
as they started to bother our pee.
rile when they wanted to go to
schul and to pray, or when they
wanted to force them to eat Cha-
zir. I hammered away. I gathered
all the brave boys together and
we blocked their roads in the hills.
We chased them and chased them,
until they had to leave Palestine.
Yea sir, we just made them beat
a retreat. And you should have
seen them run!
THIRD CANDLE: And that'a a
true story, yes sir! Because I
was right there in the battle with
my brother, Judas. May name is
Jonathan. And did we put up a
battle! Remember when those
Syrians sent elephants against us!
And how we went right next to
them and stabbed those animals
and made them drop to the
ground.
FOURTH CANDLE: I have to
laugh every time I think of those
fat Syrians who could not run
fast enough to get out of our
way. My name is Simon. and I
was right in line with Judas and
Jonathan in that big battle. And
our generals here, the other can-
dles who follow us—they sure
did a good job, too.
FIFTH CANDLE: Yes, Sireee!
I was right there. And we sure
were glad to win.
SIXTH CANDLE: And it cer-
tainly made our daddies and mam-
mas feel good, because they did
not want to see the temples and
synagogues made filthy, and they
refused to eat Chazir. And after
we won we sure celebrated.
SEVENTH CANDLE: And what
goodies we got when we came
back from that war against the
Syrians! And the Latkehs! Boy,
oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! Were
they swell! Mother made them.
And she is the best cook in the
world.
EIGHTH CANDLE: But say,
don't forget that miracle. Re-
member how we looked around
for all to light the Menorah? And
how there was just a little bit
left? But God made the oil last
for eight days and that's why we
have such a long holiday. I wish
the oil had lasted for a hundred
days because I love Chanukah.
But I am satisfied with eight. We
sure have fun
SECOND CANDLE: Say Boys,
We didn't tell this Shames and
all the people what happened in
Jerusalem. Remember how we
got to the Temple and how the
Syrians thought they would kill
us and make us bow down to their
false rods. But we refused. We
wanted to win our people's fight
We did, didn't we? And we al-

CAN THERE BE PEACE IN ZION?

leaders have found fault? Certain-
ly not by meaningless peace ges-
tures can we settle our complicated
issues. Smugness won't do it; nor
avoidance of the issue; nor ra-
tionalizing; nor British bayonets;
nor Mandatory indecision; nor a
policy of separation by partition.
Statesmanship on our side welded
with Arab intelligence alone can
accomplish this result, all argu-
ments to the contrary notwith-
standing.
Must Face Realistic Situation
It is folly to talk about im-
proved relations without a prac-
tical technique by which these can
be set .in motion, Plans however
farsighted or intrinsically fair are
of little consequence unless imple-
mented with specific means of ex
oration. That is why it is also
idle to talk of bi-cameral legisla -
tures; of a common Federal Sen -
ate; or of general parity in
political status. These may all be
well and good, but how shall we
get to them in an air of suspicio n
surcharged with destructive ten-
sion?
What satisfaction it is to us that
the Mufti has fled or the arrest
of large or small groups of prom-
inent Arabs? It but adds to the
precarious condition of the Man-
datory and injures our cause im-
measurably, Severer strength by
Britain at this stage will do little
to bring order out of chaos.
Had we early acquired the need-
ed land and other facilities to
bring one to two million into Pal.
estine and made a wholesome de-
velopment of agriculture and in-
dustry possible, we might have ac-
complished our objective in the
main. I doubt if the Arab world
would have found serious cause for
complaint. But history did not will
it no. Whatever the Balfour Decla-
ration and Mandate have sought
to give us, the fact remains we
were not able or allowed to provide
physical and financial resources to
establish so large population, upon
the soil of Palestine. Having failed
to accomplish this result during
the last 20 years, we are now com-
pelled to meet a set of new pain-
fully realistic situations,

Decries "Self -Satis f action"

A disturbed Arab world is be-
coming more unified. It is acquir-
ing a greater measure of strength;
Arab youth, too, is becoming more
conscious; Jewish development has
been stirring Arab consciousness
In many directions; and world
events have educated them in
others, The Arab people, finding
that we have been limiting to some
extent their full economic oppor-
tunities are vexed. They refuse to
justify our reasons. They probably
feel that association in one land
requires that they receive the full
benefits of an integral social and
economic development. No neigh-
bor concedes you the right to de-
velop yourself in your own way
without expecting to participate.
If you abrogate his right to work
alongside of you by positive or
negative action; if you limit his
right to trade, work the land, go
to school or secure hospitalization,
he may feel the bitter sting of
that slight. Today he is resentful.
The next day he shoots. Given a
few chauvinist leaders and the
battle turns ferocious. Unattended
that elementary issue cannot be
talked away by any sort of urge
of nationalism, economic necessity
or world pressure. The best argu-
ments fail of their appeal when
your neighbors are emotionally un-
receptive. Were we then in error
in accepting the Balfour Declara-
tion in good faith? Had we not a
right to rely upon Britain and
upon the League of Nations in
sending to the Homeland some
860,000,000 collected in pennies
from the poor and several hun-
dred million from business ven-
turers? Were we then wholly de-
ceived Into this lavish expenditure
of energy for the upbuilding of
this little land as a haven of ref.
uge, a cultural center and a place
for experimenting in a new so-
cial, economic and political ideals?
Or have we erred in our ap-
proach to the problem? Labor
philosophy took hold and organized
life in the colonies and in indus-
tries upon a collectivist basis —
most helpful, of course, in many
ways in the development of a new
land. But the ensuing political
and economic necessity caused
Arab labor to be excluded to make
room for greeter Jewish "absorp-
tive capacity." In the face of this
we argue hopelessly that we
brought values to our neighbors.
Rightly or wrongly, they judge us
by the things refused, rather
than by the things brought to
them.
Whatever our excellent reasons,
the Arab world, no doubt, has felt
the sting of denial. However wor-
thy our explanations, we have
never quite taken the trouble to
convince our neighbors of our
honorable intentions. We have
acted at times as though we were
so wholly right and that no pos-
sible question could arise. Narcis-
sus-like, we argued ourselves into
■ state of complete self-satisfac-
tion with the justness of our own
cause.

doubt, what she wants and parti-
tion what she cannot or finds irk-
some to handle.
Facts have thus become distorted
and we are farther apart in our
relations. No one can foretell the
consequences when either side finds
it profitable to devote its time, its
energy and its attention to poison-
ous pursuits that seem to grow
like weeds,
And Britain watching two scrap-
pers too busy to attend to their
own affairs will no doubt find it
convenient to hold on to some of
the most important advantages.
Thus it will never be quite pos-
sible to construct this land upon
terms of value to either people un-
til they have an understanding
with the Mandatory to keep its
hands off from those things which
are the Just due of both people.
The question recurs again and
again, is there no leader for peace
In Zion? Is there no leader for
peace in the Moslem world? None
in the Christian world? Yet, un-
less a leadership for peace it set
up at the earliest possible moment,
the resultant costs will be enor-
mous.
Says Arabs Favor Good Will

The Arab world, I feel quite
sure, is clamoring for an under-
standing, I say this in spite of the
fact that there are doubters, Per-
haps we may be expecting more
out of conferences involving peace
negotiations than either has a
right to. Yet no matter how disap-
pointed we may be, there can be
no possible question that • rap-
prochement is the only method by
which a solution can be brought
about. Or shall we decide now that
surroundings can we make a Just
would indeed be tragic. I insist
that we should explore all ways
of peace now, not after conflicts
and their effects have become to
crystalized, as will bring about a
terrific waste of human resources.
The Mandatory must, in the
meantime, continue to be our com-
mon trustee performing a func-
tion for both, rather than an agen-
cy to serve her own interests. How-
ever indebted, the Mandatory will
not continue to give us the full
support to which we are entitled
under the Balfour Declaration.
Few debtors are willing to pay
their war debts contracted 20
years ago—debts much more spe-
cific in character than what is due
us. We must, therefore, try to
reach a coaition of mind and of
temper under'which peace will be
the reasonable result. And if Brit-
ain were "on the level" she would
be the first to help in that regard.
Yet only by intimate negotia-
tions amidst reasonably friendly
surroundings can we mare a just
appraisal of all the ethical and
political forces at stake, as well as
all the selfish motives by which all
the three parties in the controver-
sy are animated to determine con-
cessions that must be made to
reach a condition of amity.
The entire Hinterland of Pales-
tine should be open for develop-
ment if we could once reach an
entente cordiale. Our neighbors
could become more sensitive to the
fact that we could bring to them
benefits which the Jewish world
is ready and willing to invest in
the development of the entire near
East. The removal of the Manda-
tory from many of her present

SHAAREY ZEDEK 75TH
JUBILEE BALL DEC. 11

The Congregation Shaarey Ze-
delt, in connection with its 75th
anniversary, is sponsoring a dia-
mond jubilee dance on Saturday,
Dec. 11, at 9 p. m., in the so-
cial hall of the synagogue.
Plans are being made for a full
evening of entertainment which
will include Philip Brestloff, con-
cert maestro of the Michigan The-
ater Symphony Orchestra. The
hall will be appropriately decorat-
ed and refreshments will be
served.
This affair is being supported
by all affiliated organizations and
a large attendance is expected.

occupations, more or less neces-
sary, should give the Arab and
Jewish world an opportunity to
run their own affairs at greatly
reduced costs. And if Great Brit-
ain have any genuine service to
render, both sides will accept that
service. But we shall not accept
conditions which are Interfering
with the free and normal develop-
ment of the land and its people,
and if the Balfour Declaration ap-
plies to anybody, surely it must
first of all apply to Britain her-
self. We could establish cultural
and educational values and could
enrich each other in many more
ways.
We may, of course, lose some
technical advantages. We may
lose the physical and moral sup-
port of Britain which eventually
may and should become utterly
unnecessary. We may lose certain
rights as to the name of the Home-
land, but it is our Homeland by
any name. We should lose the cold
independence in our relations with
our neighbors and deal with them
on a warmer and more friendly
basis. Perhaps those who have had
a complete program mapped out
with certain specific aspirations
may have to abandon some part
of it. But who can forget that a
tradition of peace has come to us
together for some thousand years?
For we do have a genius for peace.
Then why not use a it of that
genius? We may, of cburse, have
to make some intellectual adjust-
ments if we want to adopt a new
principle of genuine cooperation.
You tell me this may involve a
great sacrifice. I agree. But it is
by sacrifices alone that we must
recapture the moral position to
which, I believe, we are entitled.
Our contributions now are deemed
unworthy or of no value to our
neighbors. In fact our contribu-
tions irritate them. They deny
their authenticity.. They shun
them, "Give me no such fine things.
Leave me undisturbed in my
Bedouin life in the desert. Away
with your civilization." All this
because our approach has not yet
been of the wisest.
If we could arrive at peace by
some simple easily understandable
method, we might be on our course.
Certainly there must be at least
50 outstanding leaders in each of
the two camps. Why not select
some such number on each side
from every walk of life and every
political condition? These two
groups could choose out of their
midst say five to 10 each. The 10
or 20 as chosen could meet at the
earliest moment to decide upon
ways and means of considering
every possible issue which has
been disturbing the common rela-
tions, They could both try to un-

A MUTUAL COMPANY

SOLID AS
THE CONTINENT

For over 51 years North American Life has
justified the vision of its early founders who
laid the foundation of this Company upon
sound and conservative lines. Since 1881,
the year when the Company was established,
public confidence has been won and retained.
Over 50 years ago the Company's financial
position was referred to as Solid as the Con-
tinent. To-day it fully merits that descrip-
tive phrase. It is strong—it is safe—it is a
policyholders' Company.

Is There No Leader for Peace?

Of course, it seems unfair to
expect us to accede to any plans
which would freeze the present un-
finished economic development of
Palestine or reduce opportunities
for immigration. I seriously doubt
if after a proper study of this
question by both sides, a better
understanding could not be reached
even on this difficult issue. Instead
of understanding, however, there
lurks a common suspicion; suspi-
cions have breathed fear of econo-
mic, religious and political injust-
ice; fears have brought vandalism
and vandalism British reprisals.
And as these reprisals become
more numerous and more vicious,
we realize we have a meaner
problem on our hands than we had
at first supposed. And Britain is
getting ready to throw out the
Mandate or apply it in a way satis-
fying to herself. She will keep, no

derstand each other's position and
discuss in frank fashion remedies
and methods of treatment. They
could thus free themselves from
influences now disturbing, if not
destroying, their relations.
Oh yes—there will be dissension
—considerable dissension. There
will be delay. There will be mo-
ments utterly disheartening to
both. The discussions may drag
for weeks,'if not months. But in
the end these sessions should
produce, as they always produce,
a lasting understanding.
What we frequently forget is
that peace resolutions, peace
wishes, or peace offers however
strongly conceived do not execute
themselves. They must be properly
set in motion either in direct fa-
shion or through some appropriate
intermediary. This is especially im-
portant, It does not matter who is
the first to initiate the move, I
would rather be the first than the
last to do it.
What if the Arab world should
be unable to organize a committee
to work in harmony with a similar
one of the Jewish people? Such a
difficulty can, of course, be over-
come. It is by a strong dual corn-
mittee representing all groups as
far as possible and having the con-
fidence of both peoples that ac-
complishments may be hoped for .
Such committees should consist, if
possible, not only of natives of
Palestine, Arab and Jewish, but
America might contribute a goodly
number of the members of both
sides and the occidental world
could be brought in touch with
the Oriental world in reaching a
common solution.
If difficulty arise in major or
minor issues, they could undoubt-
edly be settled in due course. The
committees will evolve a formula
for conciliation. Only by this may
we hope to have the necessary
lasting understanding.
An idle hope you tell me. Yet,
if not by this means, what shall
be our course? Shall we be wait-
ing for British help? Shall we be
waiting for Arab exhaustion?
Shall we be waiting for the quiet-
ing of the Eastern front? Or for
diplomatic victory or economic as-
cendancy? All these things may
come, but it Is too much to hope
for them. If peace is essential, let
us buy it now while theprice is
not too high. Let us not first ex-
haust ourselves in expectancy; in
energy; in fruitless preparation;
in psychic upsets. Let us go
straight at peace by the only di-
rect route—by offering to meet
with the opposition in the quiet of
peaceful surroundings and expose
the whole problem to the light of
understanding.
Where is the better scheme? Let
it be produced.
