Jewish NationaIis1n
 Compared By Rabbi
William P. Greenfield Contrasts MaCcabean COnCep-
 ton With EiitIerism in New Haven Address

Rabbi William P. Greenfield of this city gave Q comparison of the concept of Jewish nationaIism as expressed in the struggle of the Maccabees to that of blatant, mili- taristic nationalism as practiced in some parts of the world today be- fore members of the Sisterhood of the B'Nai Jacob Synagogue in New Haven recently.
 Rabbi Greenfield opened his talk with 8 Chanukah message to the Sisterhood members. Chanukah, the festival of lights, is the ewish feast of the dedication, having been in- stituted by Judas Maccabaeus, his brother and the congregation of Is- rael in l65 B. 0. to commemorate the dedication of 8 new altar set up at the purificatoin of the emple of Jerusalem to replace the altar which had been polluted by Antiochus Epi- phanes.
 !. In comparing the Maccabean con- ception of nationalism with that of Hitlerism or Fascism, he declared that the type expressed in the Nazi program or in the aggressive Italian invasion of Ethiopia is com pletely alien to the Jewish ideal. He scored that type of national honor which demands that its youth offer up its life for principles which are irreligious and unethical and deplored that which is built upon hatred and contempt of others. The Maccabees of old sought to defend their national honor be- cause in the struggle their religious concepts were being jeopardized by the invaders, who tried to impose pagan beleifs upon the Jewish peo- pie. "It was a struggle between two forces, the one extolling the beauty of holiness, the other stress ing the holiness of beauty To- day." the Rabbi said, when the Jew fights for national honor, iti s not for militaristic ambitions, but for the preservation of those ideals for which the Maccabees fought, the peace and brotherhood which the Maccabees sought to defend"
 Rabbi Greenfield stressed the fact that Chanukah expresses two out standing aspects of religious life, dogma and ethics. The ceremonial

BIRTH RATES IN
 COUNTRIESLOWER
Declining Tendency Seen; Germany Showed In-
 crease Last Year

New York, N. Y.-1n 20 of the 34 countries whose 1884 birth rates have become available, the long, time declining tendency is still in evidence, according to the statis- ticians of the Metropolitan Life In- surance company. A drop of less than per cent in the birth rate was recorded for the Netherlands, New Zealand, Italy and Venezuela. In five countries-the Irish Free State, Norway, Sweden, Poland and the Union of South Africa-the 1884 birth rate was identical with that of 1883, which may mark the end of the prolonged downward trend of natality in these countries.
 Germany, with 130 births per l. 900 of population and a PA per cent increase in the birth rate for 1884 as compared with 1883, was the only one of these countries to report a birth rate actually higher than for any year of the Swear per- iod, 1930-1934, the statisticians point out. The United States, with an increase of 80 per cent in the 1884 birth rate took second place among nations showing increases. Denmark reported an increase of 2.9 per cent; England and Wales, 2.8 per cent; Bulgaria, 2.7 per cent; Scotland, 2.3 per cent; Northern Ireland, 2.1 per cent; Rumania, 1.3 per cent, and Chile, 1.2 per cent.
 "The abrupt rise in the German birth rate last year." the statis- ticians state, twas very probably the direct outgrowth of the marriage aid leans inaugurated in August 1883, aided by the subsidies for births of German children born of these loan-aid marriages. Close to 200, 900 such birth subsidies were granted in less than two years.
 Such figures as are avilable for the Western Hemisphere show that Chile was the only country beside the United States to show a rise. The Canadian birth rate dropped "A per cent last year, and declines of Is per cent and OF per cent were recorded in Argentina and Venez- uela, respectively"

SOV|ETS COMPLETE
new FAR EAST L|NE|
Rails, Rushed Through by
Convicts, Taps Area
Near Manchukuo.
By the Associated Press.

Sy b9e AOSoClAted FrebS.
MOSCOW, December ia new,
strategically-sit situated railroad through
1866 miles Of the Soviet Far East has
been completed after two years Of night
and day work by convict labor, 1t was
announced yesterday.
Paralleling the Trans-Siberian Rail
road, also owned by the U. 6. 8. r.,
the new railroad runs from Karym,
near Chita, north of mongolia, to
Khabarovsk in Far Eastern Siberia.
It passes through zone considered
Of great military Importance due to
the alleged threat by Japanese and
Manchukuoans to occupy the nearby
Mongolian Peoples Republic.
The published account of the two
year task said the construction camps
were. in effect, immense reformatories
where convicts were reformed "by the
great pathos Of their task"
The workers were fed, the account
stated, in proportion to the labor
they performed.
The best shock workers were
served special dinners and permitted
TO order dishes according to their
particular tastes" said the Official
organ Of the railroad commissariat,
Gudok.
Many work brigadeS, said this re-
port. consisted entirely Of women,
while others, made up of men, were
headed by women.
An example of the conditions the
workers had to face was given in the
same paper, which said:
THE workers became veritable he
foes, often working up to their waists
in icy water.
Miracles Of courage and self
sacrifice were performed"
Band music was played through
out the day and night to spur the
workers to rush completion of the
station at Schmansk.
Much of the region through which
the line runs was described in the
paper as "a place Of eternal ice and
terrible frost"

bring in more revenue 10 Government Is
because it will create more competition.
