CHURCHILL AND SA MUEL How Palestine's First High Commissioner Opposed Preparedness Presence in this country of Winston Churchill, who has been called the man in public life who understood the Nazi danger soon- er and better than anyone else, revives interest in the early life of Great Britain's Prime Minis- ter, and one of the best sources of biographical material about him is the Lippincott-published book "Winston Churchill" by Rene, Kraus. He always electrified his audi- ences and his followers never wavered in their ,loyalty. In his early years in politics, he was on the • opposite fence of Arthur James Balfour, author of the famous Balfour Declaration. In the election of 1906 he was op- posed by Mr. Joynson-Hicks. Bi- ographer Kraus writes that the Jewish element in Manchester "was enthusiastically for Wins- ton Churchill. The rich and in- fluential Jews of Manchester awaited Chamberlain's (the fath- er of Neville) tariff with ill-con- cealed suspicion. They were tired of Balfour's rule, feared the Gov- ernment's Aliens Bill, and grate- fully understood the sympathetic references to Zionism that Church- ill interwove in his speeches. Mr. Joynson-Hicks, on the contrary, declined to speak before a Jewish gathering on Sunday . 'Never as long as I am your candidate or your member will I go election- eering on Sunday.' There was not a trace of anti-Semitism in this rigid sabbatarian attitude. But at an all-Jewish meeting the patriarch Nathan Laski, the head of the leading Jewish family in the community, declared never- theless: 'Any Jew who votes against Winston Churchill is a traitor to the common cause'." Inspiration from the Bible portion is quoted in Kraus' biog- raphy, and the biographer goes on: "The candle on the bedside table guttered out. Churchill's vanity died with it. From the Scottish couch a missionary was to arise on the morrow ... For the last time Winston Churchill enjoyed a long rest. For the first time he knew blessed sleep." Mr. Kraus deals also with Churchill's career as Colonial Secretary. He relates how the famous Lawrence of Arabia was called to participate in a confer- ence to untangle the Middle East- ern muddle. As a result of the conference, Emir Feisal was put on the throne of Iraq as king, Emir Abdullah was made head of the Trans-Jordanian govern- ment and immediate difficulties between Arabs and Jews were ad- justed. The proposals were put through, Lawrence lauded Church- ill with approval and in his way the present Prime Minister was successful. Samuel as Pacifist One of the most interesting ref- erences in the entire b'ography is to Palestine's first High Com- missioner. Mr. Kraus relates how David Lloyd George and George Lansbury, leader of the Socialist opposition. fought for disarma- ment in November 1933. At this point conies the Samuel story: "Sir Herbert, later Viscount, Samuel, the leader of the Liberals, was certainly not feeble-minded He was a patriarchal. one might almost say majestic, Jew. He did not emphasize his Judaism ex- cessively, but neither did he ever deny it. To him it was simply an accident of birth—and to prove it, there was not a soul in the country with more understand- ing of the Hitler regime than Sammy. It was impossible, he asserted, to treat with blank dis- trust the utterances of a leader of so vast a state as Germany. To represent everything that had been said by Herr Hitler as de- signed only for the purposes of political maneuver would be to deetroy the very means of con- tact and of parley between one great nation and another. And When he was called to the Ad- miralty in the last war, he found a Bible on his bedside table. "On any other day this would have been chance, and not an uncom- mon chance. Now it was Fate. He opened the book at random. It was the ninth chapter of when Churchill said in Wanstead Deuteronomy. He read: 'Hear, on July 7, 1934, 'We ought to 0 Israel, thou art to pass over have a large vote to double our Jordan this day, to go in to Air Force,' Samuel replied in the possess nations greater and might- House of Commons on July 13: ier than thyself, cities great and 'This is rather the language of fenced up to heave'." a Malay running amuck than of He read Qn A Long jiblical __1._responsible_Britisli_statesman.

The most recent project to receive the whole-hearted support of the Pioneer Women's Clubs is the building of a Vocational School for Girls (between the ages of 14 and 16) in Tel Aviv.

When the MacDonald govern- ment announced "with Much re- gret" on Nov. 14, 1933, that the naval program would include two 9,000-ton cruisers, "Sir Herbert Samuel and his Liberal group in- dignantly withdrew their support from the government." But Churchill continued to demand security, and he "was not ashamed of his anxiety . " He often lost hi. patience. It took the brink of crisis to bring him to the helm of his government.

Thursday. The large attendance of women, men and children, who came to the service in spite of the very inclement weather, joined in reciting the "Avinu Malkenu." Cantor Jacob H. Sonenklar conducted the Mincha service and led in the singing of "America". Rabbi Morris Adler read a hymn by Solomon Ibn Gabirol, great Hebrew poet of the Middle Ages. Rabbi A. M. Hershman led in the responsive read- ings from the first and second chapters of Habakkuk.
