By RABBI MOSES FISHER

Entering upon his high duties and responsibilities
as the head of the English government, in one of the
most critical eras of English, nay, of human history,
Churchill took hold of his office in the following words
which since then became classic—"I have nothing to,
offer you but Blood, Tears, Sweat and Toil."
Looking back upon the course of the last 12 months
on the Jewish calendar, surveying its ceaseless, surging,
bloody events and what they have brought and con-
tributed to Jewish life, we might indeed sum up at
best its significance and tribulations with the words of
Churchill, "It has offered nothing and brought nothing
to Jewry but the four scourges of mankind : Blood,
Tears, Sweat and Toil."
If the future historian of $tir times will come in
his work to the chapter of the last year, yea, to that
of the last decades in Jewish life—if his heart will not
grow faint from performing his task by all the gory
and horrible sights presented to him—he will not have
to spin forth the need and plight, the tragedy and sor-
row of our days in the form of narrative, it will suffice
if he will preface his story with the four words "Blood,
Tears, Sweat and Toil" and write beneath the lines the
names of cities and dates, the seemingly endless names
of cities of destruction in Rumania, Hungary, Poland,
Russia and so on through three far-flung continents and
the dates of their happening, perhaps every day in the
year and every hour in the day!
What shall be the response of free happy American
Jewry to this unparalleled a41 staggering suffering of
Israel in our days?
Shall American Jewry be satisfied to carry the big
burden of her burning sorrow in the synagogue, pour
out her bleeding heart in the agony of silent prayer
and "cast then her burden upon the Lord"?
Shall even suffice if under the influence of the sacred
moments we shall resolve to raise eventually our con-
tributions to the great agency of Jewish relief and aid—
the Joint Distribution Committee?
Can the thousand wounds of Israel be healed in
our days—necessary and inevitable as it is as a part in
the great work—with charity alone?
The two great grand men of the democracies of
the world, Roosevelt and Churchill, have firmly decided
that, because so much blood and tears and sweat were
shed in the last years on account of lawless, boundless,
insolent, power-hungry Aggression, the same conditions,
the same tragic state of human plight shall never—as
far as possible to hinder it by human means—shall
nevermore return! Out of the blood, sweat and tears of
mankind they have forged eight points which shall
assure the future tranquility, prosperity, peace and
brotherhood of mankind.
My deepest sincere prayer at the coming holiday
will be, "May the Lord vouchsafe to• the leaders of
Israel, to the rank and file of Jewry, the wisdom, insight
and understanding, to follow the shining example of
Roosevelt and Churchill, that it shall be given to them
to forge from the agony, suffering and persecution of
Israel an instrument, a modus of life, a New Order which
shall assure to Collective Israel a tranquil, peaceful, pro-
ductive life under its own fig tree and vine."

Jew Made Minister of Justice ficant,, for it marks an obvious
rebuff to the Endeks and other
in Polish Government

LONDON (JPS) —As another
step in the liberalization' of the
Polish Government-in-Exile, Pre-
mie• Wladislaw Sikorski has
named Dr. Hermann Liebermann,
Jewish Socialist leader, as Min-
ister of Justice. Observers here
see the move as extremely signi-

anti-Semites who have long held
out for an anti-Jewish policy on
the part of the Polish regime.
Originally Dr. Lieberniann was
given the post of Vice-'Premier' as
well; but at the last moment the
Premier modified the appointment
and granted the Vice-Premiership
to Minister of the Interior Miko-
lakzik. The elevation of the Jew-
ish Socialist marks the first time •
in the history of modern Poland
that a Jew has occupied an im-
P•ant Cabinet post.
M. Seyda, the Minister whom
Dr. Liebermann replaces, re-
signed, along with General Sos-
notvski immediately following the
Polish-Soviet agreement. Seyda
was an outspoken supporter of
the plan to force large-scale Jew-
ish emigration from Poland, and
contributed to the violently anti-
Semitic newspaper Jestem Polia-
kern, published here. ,
Appointment of the Jewish
Minister is taken as a concrete
manifestation of the Premier's
pledge of "full equality" to all
citizens in the new Poland.
Together with the late Dr. Perl,
Dr. Liebermann was founder of
the Polish Socialist Party and co-
editor of its organ, Rabotnik.
When Dr. Perl died, Dr. Lieber-
mann became leader of the party.
When the Polish Government
undertook its own brand of semi-'
Fascism, Liebermann was thrown
into prison in the citadel of Brest
Litovsk, together with a number
of other Socialists and liberals.
He was tortured and beaten, but
remained a firm Socialist.
Although he has never taken an
active part in Jewish organiza-
tional affairs, Dr. Liebermann is
not considered an assimilationist.
As an emigre in Paris before the
war, he was often seen in cafes
frequented by Jewish writers, art-
ists an intellectuals.

Germans Think Jews are Smart language, which Jews

GENEVA (JPS) — German
factory workers seem to be im-
mune to Goebbels and his anti-
Semitic ravings. Becaus6 of the
acute shortage of labor in Ger-
many, Jewish mechanics and
artisans from Poland have been
working side by side with Ger-
mans in the Third Reich. The
Baseler National Zeitung reports
that the Germans consider the
Jews intelligent and also like to
talk to Jews in the German

more easily than the
"superior" races.
