there may not be enough young
physicians to succeed their sen-
iors in Palestine and perhaps
also in other countries. Both the
University and Hadassah (its as-
sociate in the Medical Center on
Mount Scopus) are keenly alive
to this situation. Special com-
mittees have accordingly been
appointed to consider the scope
of the undertaking and to for-
mulate plans for the establish-
ment of a Medical School.

effectively, we must have civil
servants who will be well trained,
Jewishly educated, and competent
to mould the future of our peo-
ple with statesmanlike wisdom.
With the above in mind the
University authorities are pre-
paring plans for two major un-

knows no partisanship. Scholars
regard one another as brethren.
One may well say of the Heb-
rew University that it has a ren-
dezvous with destiny—it is root-
ed in the traditions of our peo-
ple, and shall endure as long as
our people shall endure. After
all the current emergencies of
the day will have vanished, all
those things for which Hebrew
University stands will persist.
There will always be need for
the Hebrew University. Let us
hope that the Hebrew University
will be able to meet the need
to an ever-increasing degree.
NEW YEAR
(Continued from Page 8)
men and women in the armed
forces who, as they live and fight
together with Americans of othei .
religions and racial groups, are
learning to respect one another.
Likewise, thousands of chaplains
are learning new ways of work-
ing with chaplains of other
faiths. These men and Their
chaplains are the American lead-
ers of tomorrow. What a power
for good they will be!
Readers of this article may
assume that the writer is over-
optimistic. Our only point is
that American leaders in all
walks of life are facing in new
directions in terms of education
f or improved human relations.
This is only the beginning. It is
not an accomplished fact. But
beginnings are important and it
is significant that they are tak-
ing directions which will last on
into future years and genera-
tions. They do not comprise a
m o m e n t a r y propaganda cam-
paign; they are an integral part
of the whole educational struc-
ture of the nation. As such, they
cannot fail, if they are support-
ed by the majority of citizens
who want a land of liberty and
justice for all.
There will be rough days
ahead, without question, for ex-
ample, in the area of Negro-
white relations. The period of
reconversion will offer opportuni-
ties for hatreds to thrive. Our
native demagogues will attempt
to secure a following. But the
developments outlined above, if
supplemented by political integ-
rity and economic stability, will
enable America to survive these
stresses and strains and take her
rightful place in a world society.
Certainly without them, our be-
loved land would be greatly en-
9 dangered.
RESCUE
Continued from Page 9)
In Switzerland JDC funds are
needed not only to help maintain
18,000 of the 25,000 refugees in
that island of neutrality, but to
finance relief assistance to occu-
pied countries which can be
reached from Switzerland. Al-
though relatively few refugees
are left in Spain and Portugal,
allotments for aid in these two
key transit countries for refu-
gees cannot be reduced.
As part of its effort to speed
the integration of the 125,000
Jews who have found a haven in
Latin America since the begin-
ning of the Hitler regime, the
JDC is now supplying funds for
the establishment of credit 'coop-
