Much Clearer Definition

Such are the commissions given to Mr..
baruch and to the War Industries Board
ana to the prices committee and to the
prorlty committee by the Presidents
letter. 1t means much clearer defining Of
powers and duties and a much clearer To-
eating of responsibilities. 1t indicates that
the President would be inclined to make
genuine use of the Overman bill. And will
congress pretend 1t is in position to act
lntelllgcntly and promptly, from time to
time, on such administrative questions as:
shall the power of developing chrome-ore
mines be centred in Mr.. Baruch's hands
now or IN those of Mr.. Lane, Secretary Of
the lntcrior?'
Such questions in wartime might we'll
have different answer on Monday from
the answer appropriate on Saturday. And
now that the President is really LOOKING at
administration, it is time for Congress to
empower nm to make his looking effective
from day to day, and even from hour to
hour.

Mr.. Baruch's Task

Mr.. Baruch's committee on "priortins."
one must remember, is very different from
his committee on "prices,' not only in COM
position but in authority. Mr. Baruch IS
to be governed" by his committee on
prices" but he is to be merely "assisted"
by his committee "prioritics." The
ultimate decision" will rest with him. He
Will be genuine daily administrator of
"priorities,' just as he Will be a genuine
daily administrator of purchases for the
Allics.' Both tasks are plainly admins
trative tasks; and they should therefore b.,
committed to an indivdual; and we find
them committed
Mr.. Baruch will enjoy them He has two
qualities highly desirable in an admins

~HORTLY after the destruction of Jeru-

Then the great Rabbi Akibah joined the
ranks of The revolutionists and interpreted
the advent of Bar Cochba son OF the Star
as an occurrence long since foretold in Holy
Writ: There shall come star out Of
Jacob and a sceptre shall rise out Of Israel
and shall slnite the corners of Moab, and
destroy the children of Shech.'
Bar Cochba. or Son Of the Star, was pro-
claimed the long expected Messiah or Lib
orator Of Israel, ordained by Providence.
Jews focKed to his standard and the revolu
ton broke ont in ali its fury.
The Roman legions. however, quickly
strangled the uprising and drenched the
land with the blood of the patriots.
Then Bar Cochba's name was transposed
into Bar Cozba (son OF the I.on) and
curses followed him to his grave

Jewish Hope

The Jews knew Leon Trotzky; they had a
high esteem for his education and his world
~ experience; they expected his shrewd
brain to conceive all that had transpired In
Russia and when meeting face to face the
German lying and arrogant diplomats at the
peace council of Brest-Ltovsk they thought
he would speedily unmask the Junker
brutes. reveal their predatory instincts.
show their sinister intentions and call upon
the Russian people to lose no time ana be
ready to fight for their hard earned liber-
ties.
Those Jews who did not exactly expect
all this Of Leon Trotzky maintain now that
that is the programme he should logically
have followed
None, however, dreamed that he would
be such a miserable failure
During the time of TrotzNy's domination
it is estimated that at least ten thousand
Jewish lives were lost in pogroms The
hooligans, under the preteSt Of being guar
dlans of liberty, swoopcd down on cities
towns and villages, inhabited mostly bv
Jews, and beginning with murder, rape and
arson. they ended by robbing the last in
worldly goods which were left for the Jews
by the black hundreds Of Gar Nicholas.
Did Trotzky know this?
II he did not know it as Foreign Minister
OF the BolsheVik government, Jewish delega-
sonally and furnish him with all necessary
information and evidence
Among those Jewish delegates were some
of Trotzky's personal friends and relatives
They surely did not fail to impress him
with the gravity of the situation
Trotzky. the clever, the far-sighted. the
student of history, had agreed to the plan
that government of the ignorant and un-
couth proletariat be established in Russia
that cantalistic regime be destroyed al,
though this was the system in vogue
throughout the rest of the world In short
he acqulesced to a programme Of govern
mont which was not tried out and to the
isolation of Russia in her most critical NO.

Aye, it was Trotzky who professed to be-
licvc that he would carry the revolution
into the heart of Germany and so over
throw kalscrlsm and autocracy. He it was
who disbandcd all that was left Of the
Russian armies and made it possible for
