THE :JEWISH NEWS
An Expose of the
of one of the important elements
—the witches' revel—which ex-
erted pressure on the fate of
uropean affairs.
That which has become known
as the ruthlessness of the Nazi
military machine finds its coun-
terpart in the intrigues exposed
in the soothsayer's role in Ger-
Nazis' Soothsayer,
Feuchfwanger's Novel Is a
Brilliant Explanation of Hit-
lerite Witches' Revel
The famous two lines from
Shakespeare's "Macbeth"
"Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble."
served to inspire the title for
Lion Feuchtwanger's recent novel,
"Double, Double Toil and Troub-
le,' recently published by the
:Viking Press.
This is another of the magnifi-
cent Feuchtwangerian searches
into the basis causes of the evils
which dominate the world today.
In this stirring novel, Mr.
Feuchtwanger exposes the ma-
chinations of the soothsayer, the
powerful Zauberer, as the novel
was entitled in the original Ger-
man, who dominated the life of
Hitler.
It is aparent that the magician
in the novel—Oscar Lautensack-
may have been a very real per-
son who influenced Hitler's life.

Allies Have No Plans
For Homeless, Charge
NEW YORK (JPS)—Pointing
out that at the recent London
meeting of the Intergovernment-
al Committee on Refugees "the
word Jew was seldom heard and
the word Palestine never," Lewis
S. Gannett, cabling from London
to The Nation, liberal weekly,
calls for specific action in behalf
of "possibly a million Jews" who
will still be homeless at the end
of the war.
Reporting that for the first six
months after hostilities cease the
army will be in charge of re-
patriation, and for the next six
months, the UNRRA will take
over, and that the Intergovern-
mental Committee will step in
on the third phase, to deal with
the stateless persons, Mr. Gan-
nett says that none of these ag-
encies deal with Jews as a sep-
arate problem.
"His eternal bliss. He needed a
beautiful word. a noble thought, for
the hour when he would be gathered
to his fathers. Which fathers? His
Jewish or his pagan fathers? Those
who lay around on bearskins and
were always having one more drink,
or those who had written the Psalms
and -the Sermon on the Mount? The
Jews had a beautiful phrase for the
hour of death. For two thousand five
hundred years they had cried out on
their death beds, "Shema Yisraelhe
Eternal is one," and for him, Paul,
P
the confession of faith had always
meant: the Idea is one and indivisible
and permits no compromise. That
wouldn't be such a bad last word. .
`"So I have a choice,' he thought.
'I have freedom of choice.' Freedom,
freedom. I can put my head in the
noose myself, or others will put it
there. Freedom. 'Proclaim liberty
throughout the land.' That was from
the Bible again. It had a revolution-
ary ring. He had been delighted when.
in his second year at the University,
he had done a little work in Hebrew
and had come across that sentence.
`Dror,' was the word for freedom in
that passage. It was feally a trumpet-
call of freedom, Deroorr. It rolled
and thundered. One could actually
hear the trumpets resound."
"Double, Double Toil a n d
Trouble' deserves a large circu-
lation. It is not only an expose,
but also an augury: for just as
the soothsayer in this novel died
a deserved death so it becomes
evident that all of Nazism will
soon meet its doom.

JERUSALEM (JPS-Palor) —
The gulf that has separated them
for centuries was somewhat
bridged when the small surviving
Samaritan Community at Nablus
and representatives of Jewish
Palestine joined in prayer for
the salvation of the Jews perish-
ing in the Nazi-occupied terri-
tories.
The prayers were offered- at a
special function for the Samari-
tans arranged by the Associa-
tion . of the Sons of Jewish
Palestine under the chairman-
ship of Dr. Israel ben Zeev, who
surveyed the history of the
Samaritan Community, pointing
out that they were pure Israel-
. ites from the seed of Joseph and
the tribes of Levi, Ephraim and
Menasseh, and that their law was
the Law of Moses.
Yaacov Ben Uzzi Hacohen,. a
Samaritan notable, replying in
Hebrew, appealed to "the chosen
representatives of the Jewish
people" at Jerusalem to save
the Samaritan Community, to-
talling 258 individuals, from na-
tional 'and spiritual extinction.
He stated that since the closing
of the special school for the Sa-
maritans, which the National
Council (Vaad Leumi) had es-
tablished at Nablus in 1921, most
of their children attend Moslem
and Christian schools, and sixty
children do not receive any
schooling at all.
At the close of the meeting,
the participants—Samaritans and
Jews—prayed in unison for the
salvation of the Jews in the Dia-
spora, and the Samaritan High
Priest Avishai ben Pinchos ben
Eliezer ben Aaron Hacohen, who
claims to trace his lineage from
Aaron Hacohen, founder of bib-
lical Jewish priesthood, read the
Ten Commandments from an an-
cient Samaritan Pentateuch.
