The 70th birthday of Dr. Chaim
Weizmann in Nov. 1944 served
as an occasion for reviewing the
work of this distinguished scien-

name is indelibly linked with the
Balfour Declaration and the up-

Ickes Heartens American Jewry
With His New Year Message of Hop
Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes, in his Rosh
lIashonah message, declares:
"Slowly the ethical forces of the world are taking hohi
of the gigantic problem of rebuilding Europe. In the year
now drawing to a close, the great enemy of the United Na-
tions and of civilization in Europe, was crushed. The physical
evidence of its death struggle is found in the rubble of its
cities. The physical reconstruction of the defeated and cowed
enemy is a much more complex and difficult one.
"The end of the war in Europe has brought an end to
horrible devastation, and it has also brought an end to the
sadistic torture of Jews and others. To that extent, the plight
of Jewry in Germany and occupied countries has improved.
Further damage has been stopped and an opportunity is pres-
ent for rehabilitation to set in. I hope that the year 5706 will
bring great strides of progress in this rebuilding.
"To my fellow citizens of the Jewish faith in the United
States, I extend greetings on the advent of the New Year.
I express the hope that in our own land we will continue with
strength and courage on the true path of democratic action,
and that significant progress will be made in re-establishing
the dispersed peoples of Europe."
HAROLD L. ICKES.
