CHILDREN'S
CORNER-
Dear Boys and Girls:
This week I am going to share
with you some stories about the
Chassidim.
The Chassidim were pious
people who formed the move-
ment known as Chassidism. They
were contented and trusted in
God, and they created interesting
folklore. Some of the stories I am
relating now will give you an
idea of their piety and the phil-
osophy of life they created.
I wish you all a happy•Sabbath.
UNCLE DANIEL.

WHERE GOD DWELLS
"Where dwells God?" the Rab-
bi of Kotsk once asked several
learned men who were his guests.
They laughed at him: "What
are you saying: All of the Uni-
verse is full of His glory."
But he answered his own ques-
tion: "God dwells there where
He is admitted."
HIDE AND SEEK
Jechiel, Rabbi Baruch's grand-
child once played a game with
another boy, hide and seek. He
hid himself and was waiting for
his friend to seek him. After
waiting for a long time he left
his hiding place to look for his
friend, but he was not around.
Then Jechiel saw that he had
from the beginning not looked for
him. He cried and ran to his
grandfather a n d complained
about his bad companion. Then
tears welled up in Rabbi Baruch's
eyes and he exclaimed: "Thus
speaks the Lord: 'I am hiding,
but nobody wants to seek Me.' "
THE HUNGRY CHILD
Once it happened that there
was not a piece of bread in the
house of the Rabbi of Rymanow,
and his son was crying and com-
plained that his hunger was un-
bearable.
"Your hunger is not so great,"
the father said,""for otherwise
would have something where-
with to satisfy,it."
--""" The boy silently tip-toed out
of the room,' but before he had
reached the door, the Rabbi saw
a small coin ly.ng on the table.
"I wronged you," he said. "You
arc, indeed, very hungry."
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
Shortly after the death of Rab-
bi Moses of Koryn, Rabbi Mendel
asked one of the late Rabbi's
disciples:
"What did your master con-
sider most important of all
things?"
The disciple deliberated for a
while, then he replied:
"Whatever he happened to be
busy with at the moment."
HOW SUSSYA DIED
Shortly before he died. Rabbi
Sussya said:
"In the world-to-come I will
not be held responsible that I
was not a Moses; but I will be
held responsible that I was not
Sussya."
IMITATION OF GOD
The Rabbi of Sassow once gave
to an ill-reputed man all the
money he had left. His disciples
reproached him for it, but he
said:
"Why should I be more care-
ful in my choice than God Who
has given the money to me?"
Bradford Wins Over

beaten today in Class C, it came

ble plays.

Palestine
(Continued from Page 3)
rying out the Government's
policy.
Referring to Lord Wedgwood's
suggestion that the Palestine
Mandate might be transferred
to the United States, the Colon-
ial Secretary declared that
"Great Britain has no intention
of turning away from their duty
to unload it on others."
LORD STRABOLGI
SUPPORTS WEDGWOOD
Associating himself with the
efforts on behalf of the Jewish
Army by Lord Wedgwood, Lord
Strabolgi listed numerous
spokesmen in America who sup-
port a Jewish Army.
"The Government cannot dis-
miss the matter lightly," he
warned. "In.yalestine itself the
Jewish force could be multiplied
if it were allowed to have its
own flag, as in the former war."
He supported the allegation of
anti-Semitic feelings among Pal-
estine Administration officials,
saying that "these officials find
Jews difficult and unlike the
docile populations to which they
are accustomed; hence they be-
came anti-Jewish, managing to
suppress the principle of the
policy of the Balfour Declara-
tion." During his remarks, Lord
Strabolgi also stressed the need
for equal pay as between Jewish
and British soldiers, for a badge
and for allowances to depend-
ents.
ANTI-ZIONIST SPEECH
BY LORD MOYNE
One of the lengthy speeches
of the debate was made by Lord
Moyne, former Colonial Secre-
tary, who reviewed all the fam-
iliar criticisms of the Zionist
movement and spoke in defense
of the Chamberlain White Paper
as the best policy to rule Pal-
estine. He condemned the Zion-
ists for having rejected the
White Paper and insisted that
the restriction of Jewish immi-
gration is best for all concerned.
Lord Moyne devoted part of
his speech to a criticism of Dr.
Chaim Weizmann president of
the Jewish Agency, now in the
United States for a recent state-
ment in America (at the Emer-
gency Zionist Conference in
New York) to the effect that
only in Palestine could a solu-
tion be found for millions of
Jews in the postwar period and
that other neighboring states in
the Levant should be encouraged
to admit Jewish immigration.
Lord Moyne also referred to the
fact that Lord Melchett, who
had been scheduled to associate
himself with the motion of Lord
Wedgwood on a Jewish Army,
had withdrawn his motion after
the broadcast by Wedgwood.
CROFT EXPLAINS
MILITARY POLICY
Young Lord Listowel, who
spoke on behalf of the Labor
Party, said to the House that
if Wedgwood's broadcast could
be interpreted as calculated to
encourage civil war in Palestine
his party dissociates itself from
the broadcast.
In a reply on behalf of the
War Office, Lord Croft dealt
with the various points raised
on the Jewish Army. Since 1940,
he said, different units of Jews
and Arabs had been formed,
although strictly keeping to the
term "Palestinians." They were
now also enlisting refugees of
enemy nationality, in addition
to Palestinian nationals. Enlist-
ment is open to various combat-
ant units in the British Army
and the present policy is to re-
place British officers with Pal-
estinians as soon as suitable
candidates are available, he said.
Palestinians are also used for
airdrome protection.
While the general policy is to
deprecate their use outside, ow-
ing to the shortage of drivers
in the Middle East, enlistment
Di such is being speeded up to
obtain 400.
"NO EQUIPMENT" CLAIM
Speaking on the question of
separate Jewish formations, Lord
Croft declared that "no equip-
ment is available and it is not
ustified to divert equipment
'rom other parts of the world
'or the establishment of an in-
lependent Jewish formation."
Lord Strabolgi interrupted tc
2oint out that "no more equip-
ment is necesasry for the unifica-
tion of the Jewish units than the
expense for other formations."
what has been
Describing
done about the Home Guard in
Palestine, the War Office spokes-
man paid tribute to the Jewish
settlement police and the addi-
tional special police which ful-
fill- similar functions to the Bri-
tish, numbering 16,000. These
give the same protection to the
poptilation., he said, as the Home
Guard -in England. All the
settlement police are now arm-
ed, he declared, and emphasized
that the present Palestinian
force is quite considerable in the
country. He added that Palestine
is making substantial contribu-
tion to the war effort, through
agriculture, industry and docks.
He thought that the only way
in which greater numbers could
be raised for the Army would
be through conscription.
At this point, Lord Samuel
remarked that conscription was
prohibited by the terms of the
Mandate.
Despite a good attendance in
the House, no one else rose to
speak. Lord Wedgwood, who
was visibly ill, still shaken by
the serious attack on Sunday,
replied to the criticism that had
been hurled at him by Govern-
ment spokesmen.
"I did not expect that the
Government spokesman would
agree with me, since he is oblig-
ed to defend his Administration;
but for the sake of justice, I
felt it essential to raise the mo-
tion," Lord Wedgwood said, and
then withdrew the motion.
