NEW YORK.—Dr. Azriel Ei-
senberg, director of the Bureau
o ' t. Jewish Education of Cleve-
land, was re-elected president of
the National Council for Jewish
/Education at its 19th annual con-
ference held in New York. Other

intendent of the United Hebrew

Louis Huffman of New York, re-

Siinclits Rubenstein of Detroit,
Shaarey Zedek educational direc-
tor, is On the board of directors.
The main feature of the con-
ference was a series of discus-
sions based upon a study pre-
sented by Dr. Alexander M. Dush-
kin, director of the Jewish Edu-
cation Committee of New York,
on "Common Elements in Ameri-
can Jewish Education." Dr. Dush-
kin listed the following seven
elements upon which all Jewish
schools can agree regardless of
the degree of their religious or
nationalist character:
The classical continuing Jew-
ish tradition—Torah in its widest
sense—religious, literary, insti-
tutional and ethcal.
Concrete forms of personal
Jewish living.
Hebrew in Jewish literature
and life.
The Jewish people—identifica-
tion with it—knowledge of its
past and present, and desire for
its survival and welfare the
world over.
Palestine—its unique role in
Jewish history and tradition and
its continued upbuilding and de-
velopment.
American Jewry—its history
and development, the organiza-
tionof its cultural and commu-
nal institutions, participation and
responsibility for its welfare and
growth.
Faith in the divine purpose
making-for the betterment of the
world and man, involving the
human obligation to strive to-
ward a better, democratic world
' order.

The situation of the Polish
Jews here is particularly dis-
tressing. Most Polish Jews do
not want to return to Poland,
but at the same time they are
averse to being classified as state-
less persons. They fear that such
a status would doom them to
endless world wanderings.
The only link between the
Jewish inmates and the outside

chaplains attached to the British

all the repercussions this involves
regarding the position of Pal-
estine, despite the pledge to the
unrepresented Jews that this
would not affect their hopes
built on the Balfour Declara-
tion."
"It is intelligible that Church-
ill should be unwilling, in his
famous phrase, 'to preside over
the liquidation of the British
Empire.' It looks as though he
is not equally unwilling to assist
in liqudiation of French interests
in the Middle East and a little
later to see a transfer of the
scene of Jewish massacre from
Central Europe to the Middle
East.
"Why Syria and Iraq should
be regarded as fit for the free-
dom and self-government which
Churchill continues to deny to
India, I do not know. I can only
say that the price he and his
colleagues seem willing to pay
for Arab good-will regarding oil
and lines of communication is
too high. For that good-will is
not substantial today and will
not continue longer than Ibn
Saud and his allies see no altern-
ative.
"As they bought appeasement
during the war, so are they buy-
ing appeasement after it. The
cost is likely to be paid imme-
diately by the Jews. But in the
long run it will be paid by the
poverty-stricken peasants in the
Middle East who will be denied
the chance of that increasing
standard of civilization which is
I so long overdue. "
