Declaring that we got nowhere
exactly in San Francisco, but
that nobody got anywhere, Lew-
isohn went on to say that "in-
ternational political matters are
in inextricable confusion because
we are in a false position. Eng-
land always has fought to keep
a balance of power on the con-
tinent; and now in reality, Eng-
land has lost the war, for there

Mr. Lewisohn feels that when
the greatness of this defeat is
brought home to England, it will
reflect itself in the strengthen-
ing of the Labor Party in the
next general election.

Labor Party's Resolution
He pointed out that the British
Labor Party has passed a resolu-
tion requesting "more than we
Zionists had hoped for or dared
to ask. They suggested that the
boundaries o f Palestine b e
changed to include more terri-
tory and that the Palestinian
Arabs be encouraged to move
elsewhere."

"The historic process is in our
favor", asserted Mr. Lewisohn,
"for there can be no healing of
any wounds until Eretz Yisroel
is independently and undeniably
ours". However, to realize our
dream we must buy up all the
land through the Jewish Na-
tional Fund, for purchasing the
_land is repossessing it, and ac-
cording to Mr. Lewisohn, this is
the practical way of rebuilding
our homeland.

ning at the Jewish Community.

Rabbi Eisendrath
Views New Pattern
In American Judaism

NEW _YORK, (JTA)—A new_
pattern of American Judaism
may emerge after the war as a
result of the events of the past
few years, Rabbi Maurice Eisen-
drath, director of the Union of
American Hebrew Congrega-
tions, said here recently.
Rabbi Eisendrath based this
observation on a nation-wide
tour during which he visited 320
Reform congregations affiliated
with the union, and on reports
from Jewish chaplains with the
armed forces. He said that while
almost half of the chaplains are
Reform rabbis, 90 percent of the
Jewish servicemen are from or-
thodox families, and, as a result,
"compromise" services and ob-
servances have been evolved
which may lead to changed con-
cepts after the war.

Death Takes Widow
Of Israel Zangwill

had made history for liberalism
with their earlier book, "Sabo-
tage," present a resume of -Nazi
activities, which had led to the
present war, the destructive
propaganda of the Germans in
this country and their anti-
Semitism. They issue a warning
against the renewal of the con-
spiracy of the Fehme—the mys-
terious Nazi officers' terrorist
organization.
Inspired Fear, Terror
"The Plot Against the Peace"
warns that the Fehme for cen-
turies inspired fear and terror
in Germany; that it "directly
paved the way for Nazism";
that "the new Fehme of the
Nazi officers' corps is not only
operating in Europe, it also is
operating in America."
The volume is a significant
historical record of destructive
Nazi activities. It provides back-
ground material for the study
of the present problems in the
study of issues leading to a last-
ing peace. It describes the Ger-
man policy of "Genocide"—
aimed at killing an entire race
for the destructive purposes of
the Nazis. (The authors point
out that the term "genocide"
was coined by Raphael Lemkin
in his book "Axis Rule in Occu-
pied Europe" • and is 'derived
from the Greek word "genos,"
meaning 'race" and the Latin
"Cide" meaning "killing").
Figures 'exposing the Nazi
atrocities are quoted, giving the
Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee
of Moscow as the source. The
authors state: "In some towns,
such as Dwinsk, not a single
Jew was found alive by the re-

Architecutral genius of man brings

Edifice of wealth, with its structures

Mechanical genius of man brings

The destruction of wealth of brawn

Mechanical genius of man brings forth
Temporary remedies for flesh and

But spiritual genius of man denotes
The real anted'ote to stein wars flood.
And while ablest minds of ablest men
Plan now Magna Chartas for the

Cold calculation to science ever turns
Though man's soul for God's truth
stilt yearns.
So constituted is Man's soul.
That following every flimsy goal •
It cannot live, survive, create,
While soaked with fear and filth

Mr. Schaver in his acknow-
ledgement pledged himself to
carry on his work with even
greater fervor. Ten thousand dol-
lars of the fund for the forest
was raised by the Detroit Labor
Zionists on the occasion of Mr.
presided. The audience was greet-
Schaver's 50th birthday and
$5,000 was contributed by his
family.

Benjamin Laikin, chairman of
the Zionist Council of Detroit,
presided. The rally was greeted
by William Hordes, JNF Coun-
cil chairman; Harry Schumer,
chairman of the drive; and by
Mrs. M. Goldoftas, on behalf of
the Pioneer Women's Organiza-
tion. Mr. Lewisohn was intro-
duced by Morris Lieberman.

turning Red Army. By 1945 the
Nazis had exterminated between
5,000,000 and 6,000,000 Jews in
Europe and Soviet Russia."
The warning against Nazi
tricks and attempts to sabotage
the present peace efforts is
based, in the Sayers-Kahn book,
on ati evaluation of the tricks
that were resorted to by Ger-
mans after the last war. The
fake trials of war criminals in
1921, in Germany, are described,
and the resume of past conspira-
cies by GerMans, as indicated in
"The Plot Against the Peace,"
should serve to put leaders of
the United Nations on guard
against future trickery.
Quoting the United Nations
leaders' declaration at the Cri-
mea Conference, the two authors
declare that "the world must
never forget the crimes of the
German General Staff."
Their book is an important
contribuition to the current lit-
erature aimed at assuring a last-
ing peace.
