Chronicle. We are pleased to present the first of his articles, which
is a n unusually timely presentation of the Jewish position in the
world at this time.
The beginning of the Jewish
New Year marks the second year
of the World War II. It finds
the Germans temporarily victori-
ous on every field where battles
have been fought. They and their
Italian accomplices now occupy
and dominate almost the whole
of continental Europe.
But the "destiny" of the Vic-
tor drives him to continued ag-
gression. He is not given a chance
to digest his prey in comfort and
peace. He encounters a resist-
ance which cannot be disposed of
to suit the time-schedule of
World Conquest. Appeasement,
retreat and capitulation have
come to an end. Realizing at
last the devastating significance
of Hitler's plans, England, aided
by its loyal Dominions, has
thrown off doubt and fear, and
faces its destiny with courage,
defending its freedom with all
its strength and resources. Eng-
land has become a fortified is-
land, encircled by its defending
fleets, protected by the wings of
its air force. It has kept the in-
vaders at bay for months. It re-
fuses to surrender and refuses
to (lie. The cowardice and vacilla-
tion of Chamberlain has been
supplanted by the courage and
determination of Churchill, who
leads a resolute people in a
heroic resistance. Not only are
the Germans encountering a stub-
born defense, but the defense
gradually develops into a formid-
able attack. Single-handed, with-
out overt allies, England is fight-
ing on the channel front and
in the eastern Mediterranean;
but all its resources have - not
yet been thrown into the conflict.
It has forced the fighting on Ger-
man soil and the daily visits of
German planes are being return-
ed by English planes bombarding
Berlin, Hamburg and Bremen, as
well as the German encampments
on the occupied channel ports.

To Dedicate
New Building
Ceremonies Arranged
by Two Agencies
for Oct. 27
The new Rose Sittig Cohen Me-
morial Building, on Lawton near
