BY Rabbi Maxwell Silver before
the Congregation of Eman-
ueI in Masonic Temple.

Preparedness and Judaism" was
the subject Of Rabbi Maxwell Silyer's
address Friday evening before the
Congregation Emanuel at the Masonic
temple.
In the midst of heated talk about
various plans Of military preparedness
for our country. Rabbi Silver declared
IL would pay us to turn for a while
10 program of preparedness entirely
different from a military one, advised
by the Great Prophets of Israel over
twenty-five hundred years ago. When
Kink Ahaz of Judah was perfecting
his military preparedness against the
impending attack Of Ephrairn and
Sprla the prophet Isaiah approached
Ahaz and told him that this method Of
preparedness will never make Jurah
strong and impregnable. and that the
only preparedness program that would
make 1t strong and impregnable was
the greater establishment OF social
justice in the land for "Zion shall be
redeemed through justice and its cit
liens through righteousness"
The reason that Justice alone makes
n country we'll prepared for war Is
because justice, enthroned in the laws
and institutions of the state makes
for the full development Of all the
powers. the intelligence and thus the
efficiency Of all the citizens Of that
state, which in turn enables the cit
liens TO develop more efficiently the
natural wealth Of the land, to develop
and centralize that country's industry
and commerce, and thus increase the
wealth and power of the land. And
not only does justice make for strong
intelligent and moral citizens by Civ
ing all equal opportunity to enjoy
through their labor the increased
wealth of the land and the material
and the spiritual benefits that go
Herewith, but justice also makes for
patriotic citizens, for everyone is will
ing to sacrifice himself for land that
has done so much for his self-realiza-
tion. If Germany were now to fight
Russia alone, who need be told that
Germany would be the victor in spite
Of Russia's doubly-sized population.
and army. And why? For the simple
reason that greater Justice. more uni
versal education, more government
care for the material and spiritual

war useless and teaches the nations

their swords into plowshares. their
spears into pruning hooks and learn

greater democracy and Justice, re-
member. Rabbi Silver declared. amidst
this military mad cry OF jingoes and
subsidized militaristE. that the only
permanent and efficient preparedness
for both war ard peace Is not con-
tinental army nor first class navy,
the shame and moral and economic
ruination Of Europe. but more vigor-
nus abiding with our American demo-
cratic traditions, the greater establish
ment OF social justice in our midst,
just as Judaism through its great
prophet taught so long ago.

been existing in Germany than in
Russia And If perfect justice were
really to have reigned in Germany for
centuries, IL all its citizens would
have received full opportunity to de-
Velop their fullest powers and the nat
ural resources Of the land how much
weather.. more organized and power
full Germany would have been now.
The phophet Isaiah was therefore right
in teaching already so long ago that
a nation can best prepare itself for
war through establishing greater JUS
tice in its midst.
But Isaiah also contonded that JUS
tice is also and above all the best
and only preparedness for peace, that
the result Of justice Is peace and the
effect Of righteousness quietness and
confidence forever. Is this not true?
II greater justice means greater OPP
portunity, greater efficiency and great
er wealth for all the citizens OF the
state and II the citizens OF that JUS
tice-reigning state have thus all they
want, what incentive have they for
war? In order to obtain more ter
ritory and through that more markets
and greater wealth? Will not the In
tellIgent citizens OF that state very
quickly learn the great truth revealed
lately by Norman Angel in his now
famous and revolutIonizing book.
The Great Illusion" that all talk of
gaining new markets and more wealth
by the acquisition OF new colonies
through war Is all an Illusion, that
new territories do not add one cent to
country's wealth, nay rather a heavy
expenditure in administering and pro-
tecting them, that the mother country
cannot prevent competition with its
products by foreign merchants, that
to quote one case of many, in Canada,
which England GOWNS" the English
merchant Is driven out through COM
petition by the Swiss, the French and
the German merchant, that England
does most of its trade not with its col
onies but with foreign countries, and
so do France, Germany and Italy, for
instance, whose trade with their col
onies amounts to practically nothing
but sore disappointment that, in
brief, war undertaken for the acquis-
ition of new markets and more wealth
is economically futile. does not add
any wealth at all to q country,-whlch
again goes to show that the only way
to increase wealth of a country and
the moral and spiritual results that
go with 1t Is only by establishing
greater Justice in that country, by
