field of battle, the struggle for
freedom and civilization has been
lost.
Jewish history, however, offers
evidence to the contrary. There
never has been a dictator in Ju-
daism, and certainly the defense
of the Jewish faith in the last
twenty-five hundred years has
been entirely voluntary on the part
of each individual. Nevertheless,
the sacrifices made by our ances-
tors in time, energy, means, and
life, on behalf of their faith, have
been far greater than those which
even the Nazis make for their ide-
ologies.

remains: Does the ancient Jewish
spirit still live?"

mary is trying to contribute to the
training of Jewish lay leadership
by conferences on Jewish prob
lens whose object is not to pass
resolutions, but to exchange ideas
and educate the participants.
Cooperation with men of other
groups, DR.. Finkelstein said, Elm

in modern civilization and one Of
the ways in which we can best
contribute to the preservation of
civilization is to strain every eff

"At the same time, we shall be

shall have to give serious thought
to understanding the nature of the

battle-ground Of Ideas
Gan Interview with DIR. Louis FinkeIstein)
By ROMAN SLOBODIN
By ROMAN SLOBODIN

Twenty years ago, DR.. Cyrus Ad-
Ter took a particular liking to a
clear-eyed, clear-headed young stu
dent at the Jewish Theological
Seminary. The liking ripened into
one of those friendships between
on older and younger man which
are as fine flower of humanity
as the world has to offer.
The young man became rabbi
of a Bronx congregation. A few
years later, when an opening &C.
Cured, DR.. Adler offered him a
lectureship at the Seminary. Thus,
in 1919, Louis Finkelstein entered

upon the career of religious teach
ing which has brought him today
to the desk where DR.. Adler, until
a few weeks ago, guided the great
rabbinical institution and, to no
small degree, American Jewry.
To say that DR.. Adler's mantle
has fallen on DIR. Finkelstein's
shoulders is something more than
rhetoric. At the age of As, he had
achieved renown as religious lead
er, as educator, as a sound scholar
with a fresh and live viewpoint,
even before his elevation from the
post of Provost, DR.. Adler's Sec
Ond-in-command at the Seminary,
to the presidency. And he has no
doubt he is moving along the path
charted by DR.. Adler and by DR..
Solomon Schechter before him.
That path is one of preparation
by America and American Jewry
to fight Nazism, not on the bat
tleground of guns and bombs, but
of ideas. Put in that way, it may
sound like limited objective, but
as DR.. Finkelstein analyses it, it
is all embracing. It is, he ex-
planned in an interview with the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency, a task

on which depends the survival of
civilization.
It is now generally realized, he
said, as at first it was not, that
the Nazi attack on the Jews was
the opening maneuver in the cam
paign to divide the forces of de-
mocracy, in order to win world
domination. He hopes that the re-
alization has not come too late.
There remain two spheres in
which Nazism must be opposed,
as DR.. Finkelstein sees it: that of
physical conquest and that of ide-
as, "the defense of American in
situations against an American
Hitler"
"a victory of Nazism in the ide-
ational sphere" DR.. Finkelstein
said, would be as disastrous as
a military victory in France or
England"
It is here, he believes, that Jew
ish leadership has a responsibility
to serve the whole of civilization.
And in order to serve, he said, it
must unite.
The Nazis, he pointed out, en-
joy an apparent advantage over
democracy of unity, even though
forced unity. We, he said, must
attain voluntary Democratic uni
ty."
There can be, and must be, DR..
Finkelstein said, a reversal of the
trend growing separation among
rabbis, educators and social work.
j ers, between rabbis and laymen.
Orthodox, conservative and re-
formed groups must learn to CO.
operate, he added. Cooperation
must be established between those
who are interested in survival of
Judaism, and those who are in
terested in survival Of the Jews"
Finally, DR.. Finkelstein said,
"the situation cannot be permitted
to continue in which so many Jews
are outside the synagogue" In or
der to bring them in, those con-
cerned must cooperate.
It isn't impossible, DR.. Finkel-
stein is sure. He said the Semi
nary had arranged educational
sessions in which members of di-
verse Jewish groups participated,
and that in an atmosphere of calm
and reasoned discussion, "they de-
veloped vast respect for one an
other"
"The trouble is, they so seldom
get together" he said.
There are hopeful signs in the
domain of cooperation between
Jewish and Christian leaders, too,
DR.. Finkelstein said. Leaders of
various religious denominations
and various scientific groups rea-
lie the menace of Nazi theology,
he said, land we have had more
signs of willing cooperation be-
tween these groups during the
past year than would have been
thought possible ten years ago."
In the Seminary's Institute Of
Interdenominational Studies, DR..
Finkelstein said, rabbis and clergy
men discuss the world crisis as a
common problem, not in spirit
of tolerance" but of fellowship.
BY arranging interfaith confer
ences of clergymen and rabbis, and
of Christian and Jewish theologi-
cal students, by intra-Jewish meet
ings of rabbis, educators and other
groups, and Of students of vary
ing ideas, the Seminary is making
is own contribution to the under
standing which is prerequisite
to unity, DR.. Finkelstein said.
Moreover, he added, he has made a

56 Juneau High School Seniors Hear Sermon
 Last Evening

Ccmmencelnenc week was given dignificd beginning last evening as fifty-six seniors, attired in gray cap and gown, filed into the Juneau High School gymnasium to the strains of Romberg's familiar Stout Hearted Men played by the High School Orchestra under the direc- ticn of C. Robert White.
 After the invocation by Dean c. E. Rice, Let All My Life Be Music was sung by the Girls Glee Club, with Miss Merle Janice Schroeder, directing. The scriptural lesson was brought by Captain Stanley Jackson and this was followed by the hymn America, The Beautiful by the congregation.
 Choosing his topic for the bacca- laureate sermon from the sixth chapter of Matthew thirty-third verse seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness the Rev. John L. Cauble stressed the importance of putting first things first
 Knowledge, stated Rev. Cauble, emancipates the mind, steadies the will and inspires the heart. But knowledge alone, uninfluenced and untempered by true religion can be the most damning influence and brutal power of all Gods creative works Life and knowledge that has been illuminated by religion be- comes as shining beacon on the highest mountain top of human experience"
 In closing he addressed the class with the words "a future of heaven ly bliss lies within your grasp-as you will my son, as you will"
 The Mendelssohn selection Lift Thine Eyes" was interpreted by Junior High School chorus, followed by the .bcnediction given by the Rev. G. Edward Knight.
 Closing the evenings services, the High School Orchestra played Hope March" as the graduating class singled out of the auditorium which was filled with friends and relatives of the many students.

 So it is not surprising to dis cover that Captain Robert M. Losey of the United States Army was standing. in tunnel mouth observing military aviation in Nor way when he was killed recently.
 Captain Losey was sent to Dom- bas, Norway, to help take out Am erican women and children. But he also had his eye peeled for military news worthy of the at tention of Washington, American military attaches have world wide reputation for seeing well.
 And so it is that Uncle Sam fig ures that the military attaches of other nations may be able to see well, too. He doesn't want them to see our 50 calibre machine gun down in Louisiana. And a few other little devices.
 And so he's getting testy. Of course, there's plenty of room for any American Tom, Dick, or Har- ry. But the accommodations are simply not Waldorf-enough for distinguished foreign visitors.

Metro GoIdwyn : Mayer Picture The Women
 Now al Capitol

With star honocs divided three ways among Norma Shearcr, Joan Crawford and Rosalind Russell, "The Women" opened yesterday at the Capitol Theatre for an engage ment of three days. Unusual in its premise of presenting one of the strongest love stories to come out of Hollywood in months. and yet never showing before the camera the masculine objects of the vari- ous women's affections, "The Wo- men" may well be nominated as the most unusual production of any year It is decidedly top enter tainment from every angle, with sharp, snappy dialogue, thrilling situations and sets of eye-filling beauty.
 Not since "Riptide" has Norma Shearer appeared in similar role and her return to drawing-room comedy is heralded by her many fans. Joan Crawford, portraying a heavy" for the first time in her screen career, scores a decided tri- umph, as does RoSalind Russel, who is proving one of Hollywood's s most versatile actresses. Phyllis Povali, imported from New York to create her stage role in the pie ture, is happy addition to the roster of Hollywood players, and Mary Roland and Paulettee God dard garner more than a generous share of the plaudits.

WE'LL TRY SWAMP WAR

So it is significant that our May nlaneuvers are being held in swamp country at it's wettest, swamp coun- try in the spring. Uncle Sam's army is going to find out without benefit of foreign visitors. 5 Of course, the visiting military and naval attaches never violate etiquette by going into forbidden zones. Wherever they go they go by invitation. But they have been known to show up ahead of time, before secret gear could be slowed away. A mistake. Misread the in- yitation, etc.
 Those attaches often use their wits far away from military zones. For instance, one of the best of our military secrets leaked out a few years ago when foreign attaches viewed the movie, Hell Divers" Even though naval censor had blacked out the land- ing deck of an aircraft carrier appearing in the picture, the at taches saw enough to guess Uncle Sam was miles ahead of other na- tions in taking off and landing planes from carriers.
 It was only a matter of weeks until British aircraft carriers had hydraulic machinery and tripping cables on the decks of their air craft carriers.
