DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE and the Legal Chronicle
Dr. Maurice Perlzweig to Address
Jewish Center Lecture Series Jan. 27
The chairman of the British
Section of the World Jewish Con-
gress, Dr. Maurice L. Perlzweig,
will be the guest speaker in the
Jewish Community Center lecture
series, on Tuesday evening, Jan.
27, at 8:30. Fourth lecturer in
the 1942 series, devoted to a dis-
cussion of the Jewish situation
today and an analysis of what
is to be expected tomorrow, Dr.
Perlzweig's topic will be, "A
Look at the Jewish Tomorrow."
He will be introduced by Judge
Charles Rubiner, former Center
president, who will serve as chair-
man of the evening.
Friend and associate of the
late Dr. Claude G. Montefiore, of
Israel Zangwill and the first Lord
Reading, Dr. Perlzweig is an honor
graduate of University College,
London and of Christ College,
Cambridge, where he received
honors in Oriental Languages. He
entered the rabbinate in 1921 to
become a minister of the Liberal
Jewish Synagogue of London and
recently served as minister of the
Northwestern Reform Synagogue
in London.

Congress movement in England,

committee hearing; because it was
only through his efforts that more
money was finally appropriated
for Pearl Harbor.
For it was Admiral Taussig
who predicted the Pearl Harbor
attack. In the spring of 1940 he
warned that the Japanese sought
virtual domination of the Far
East and would even go to war
to attain their aim.
The repercussions from that
war n i ng were many. Even
President Roosevelt, whose dis-
favor Taussig had incurred,
threatened to furlough the Ad-
mirals Stark and Nimitz, who
opposed any discipline. Stark
and Nimitz must have known
then, as the entire country
knows today, that Taussig was
right. His views were the pri-
vate opinions of practically
every officer in the Navy.
In his testimony before the
committee, Taussig—whose father
before him, Edward David Taus-
sig, scion of a St. Louis Jewish
family, was a rear admiral—
urged the immediate establishment
of an "impregnable" naval base
in the Philippines, the strengthen-
ing of the Navy and agreement
with the English, the Dutch and
the French guaranteeing the
safety of the Pacific.
