very adventurous story.

Jew Wins Einstein Prize
From Brazil Academy
Life—'Flag in Hand'
From Address, 'Watchman What
of the Night," by Israel Zangwill,
Oct. 14, 1923
If Europe has taken the wrong
turning, it may be that your
mission is to help America,to take
the right one. Perhaps it is the
role of the millions of Jews gather-
ed here to help America to keep
American. Thus, not in avoiding
a Jewish policy, but precisely in
creating one, would lie your truest
Americanism.
When Isaiah asks, "Watchman,
what of the night?" there is a won-
derful answer, "The morning
cometh and also the night."
Nothing in human history is finally
secured. In every age the fight
must be renewed. The morning
cometh but also the night. It may
be therefore, that here, too, the
wave of madness will spread from
the shambles of Europe. But for
God's sake stand openly and as-
sertively for something worth
dying for. That, you will find, will.
make life worth living, and if die
you must, go down like your fore-
fathers, flag in hand.
RIO DE JANEIRO (JTA)—The

sented its Einstein Prize for 1964

laborator of the late Albert Ein-
stein who is now living in Brazil.
