Rabbi Schwartz to Speak on
 Significance Of Chanukah

At the services tonight in the synagogue of the Congregation Sons of Israel, Chestnut and Elm streets Rabbi Jesse Schwartz will speak on the subject: "Chanukah-The key to Jewish History"
 The Chanukah festival commenced last night at sunset and will continue until sunset Friday, January 3. The Chanukah season in the Jew ish calendar commemorates the great victory in 1G5 B. C. of Judas MacCabacus and his forces over the Greeks who, under King Antiochus. wanted to destroy the religious life of the Jewish people.
 The Greeks had ransackcd Jcru- salem and polluted the temple Ac- cording 10 Jewish tradition, Judas MoCcabaouS upon defeated the Greeks, proceeded first to cleanse the temple and found a small. jar of oil which by a miracle lasted for eight days for the illumination of the temple candclabra. This miracle is Commomorated by the lighting dur ing the week of Chanukah candles in the Jewish homes. On the first

the World Court likewise bears decisiveIy upon the position of America in times of international troubIe-pointing to a way to pro- vent friction between the United States and the League members.
 From the economic standpoint, commercial policies give every .n- dication of heightened national istic sentiment. This will continue to manifest itself in higher protcc- five tariffs and possibly more cX- tonsivo discrimination against for- cigncrs by eovcrnmerts.-
 \ Though politically q "Unitcd States of Europe" may still be dis tant, there is every reason 10 be- icye that the economic coopera- tion of old World nations will be- coI1c closer,
 The year 1880, therefore. may well usher in a new era of empire building in terms of economic com- bmation. To the European trend must be added the movement for greater economic unity in the British Empire, and even the prospect of Latin American eco- homie cooperation.

Associate IrOieSSOr Of IOllliCS,
 New York University.
 The year 1880 opens the seconl decade of world life since the Arm isticc.
 These coming ten years mark q far-rcaching change in the world outlook. The span of years from 1919 to 1929 has been the story Of the comeback Of nations; the next ten years will tell us whether his tory tends to repeat itself. Almost frantic efforts now are being made to affirm war out of existence by world law and cooperation. Really effective machinery for peaCc-tie anti-war pact, the League of Nations the control of armaments-must prove strong indeed between 1930 and 1940.
 The danger years loom about 1895. Three uncertainties already are manifest in world politics. The problem of the peace treaties is ap bearing, for many of their provi- sons have a time limit. Restless Italy has been told by Mussolini that the years of test lie somewhere be- tween 1885 and 1940. A new genera ton, one which knows nothing cf the horror of the World War will be coming into power. Unless the limitation of armaments and the possibilities of peaceful settlement of international disputes have car ried nations definitely out of the or bit Of militarsm, young blood may once again have its letting on the overwhelmingly martial pages of history. The possibilities of destru2- ton already forecast in the conduct of war in the future promise to D. extended beyond imagination by the progress of science tomorrow

tions between the Old and the New World. The rising tide of American speculation threatened to drain Europe Of funds soreIN needed for business development ] at home. The Wall Street crash proved an unquestioncd benefit to European money centers and promises the resumption of Amer ican financing abroad, to the ad- vantage of both American an1 foreign trade.
 Watching Latin America The United States, too, has cou- i tinued to play an important part Tn the stabilization of Latin America. Mexico, by the close of the year, has given promise of peaceful re- construction during 1880 in no small measure because of the sym pathetic relations between Wash ington and Mexico City. The re- ligious revolt in the spring was crushed by federal authorities; the struggle between the Catholic church and the government reach ed settlement in June; and the November presidential election was not accompanied by revol1- ton.
 Elsewhere in Latin America, the prepondcrant position of the United States also is manifest in two disputes. Forty-five years Of 1 struggle between Chile and Peru over Tacna-Arica was closed 2y 1 the good offices of Washington; and the -Paraguayan clash over the Checo Territory. under American mediation in Wash ington, appears well on the road to settlement
 European Danger Spots
 The Old World closes another year in which the gains for peace i appear to offset the possibilities ol l trouble.
 While final approval of the reparations settlement remains q problem for 1880, there is every reason 10 believe that the sore | point of the Peace Of Versailles has been healed by economic statesmen. Certainly Franco-Ger- man relations have bettered, due to the cooperation of Briand ani Stresemann: the complete redemD. ton of the Rhineland becomes probable in the near future. The
 Reich itself has just celebrated ten years Of republicanisn 1T which every assault upon Germar I democracy has been rebuffed. If the British Labor govern ment has aroused France by Lon
 dcn's coolness to the old entente the atmosphere of Old World poli
 tics is distinctly clearer.
