JPS Resumes Its
Series of Judaica
With 1552 Work
PHILADELPHIA (JTA) — The
Jewish Publication Society an-
nounced here the publication of a
famous, 16th Century Jewish work,
"Consolation for the Tribulations
of Israel," by Samuel Usque, in an
English translation by Dr. Martin
A. Cohen, of the Hebrew Union
College-Jewish Institute of Reli-
gion. The work inaugurates the re-
sumption by the Jewish Publica-
tion Society of making important
Judaica available to the American
public.
Samuel Usque's "Consolation"
is a long prose .poem written in
Italy in 1552, designed to encour-
age Marranos to keep the Jewish
faith and not to apostasy. A his-
torian as well as a poet, Usque,
scion of a distinguished family,
moved later to Palestine, where he
died at Safed.
The JPS had discontinued publi-
cation of Hebrew classical works
after publishing a number of such
books in the 1920s. The effort was
revived five years ago under a
committee headed by Prof. Salo
W. Baron.
The s e r i e s, called "Judaica:
Texts and Translations," is to con-
sist of three different types of clas-
sical works. Some of these will
include the original Hebrew or
Aramac texts; others, like the
Usque book, will be put out only
in translation; and a third series
would include more modern texts,
especially those dating from the
18th and 19th centuries. One vol-
ume in the general series is ex-
pected to be issued each year.
Before the end of this year, the
JPS announced, it will publish the
"Sefer-na-Kabbalah," by Abraham
Ibn Daud, with original text, edit-
ed by Gerson D. Cohen.
Bill Outlawing Bias Passes
2nd Reading in Commons
LONDON (JTA)—A bill to out-
law r a c i discrimination in
Britain, which would also prohibit
discrimination or incitement
against Jews, passed a second
reading in the House of Commons
Monday night by a majority of 12
votes for the Labor government.
The bill is Britain's first attempt
at laws against such discrimina-
tion.
The legislation would outlaw
discrimination for reason of race
in "places of public resort," pro-
viding fines for violation. A second
section would ban speaking or
writing "threatening, abusive or
insulting" words intended to stir
hatred against racial groups, which
is intended to cover Jews.

efits by reason • of their religious

Under the government proposal,
a special fund would be opened
for the victims of the Nazi era
who were able to migrate to the
Western world, and particularly to
Israel, only after the deadline.
The Conference on Jewish
Material Claims Against Germany
has demanded full indemnity for
these victims. It has been said that
fulfillment of this demand would
cost West Germany another $1,-
500,000,000:
In New York a resolution call-
ing upon West Germany to amend
its present law on indemnification
was adopted unanimously Sunday
at a mass meeting organized by
the Coordinating Committee of
Nazi Victims Organizations.
