propriated because the contract

The reason is Just this: The Army
and Navy must plan their estab-
lshments in advance. Congress
must approve their plans. But
building armies and naNes Is not
q matter of months. like building
houses. They can only build part
of the establishment in any given
year.
A good example is our two-ocean
Navy, which can't possibly be built
until 1915. Congress has authorized
that Navy. but it has appropriated
money only for that part of the
Navy which can be built before July
/, 1941.
So, while Congress, the Army and
the Navy work to clear up the laws,
the intricate legal maze of contracts
calls for equally intricate handling
Each step in contract making breeds
a legal phrase. And you have the
bottleneck nobody saw.

A new Savannah Hebrew School

by Mr.. and Mrs. Sam Blumenthal.

menthal which took place between
s and 10 P. M. at the Hebrew
School building.
Here for the dedication were
Rabbi Ben-Zion L. Rosenbloom

the exercises were DR.. George Sol

cause, whereas those of the form
er class are incorrigible.
Much of the trouble experienced
by such communities may be as
cribed to the provincialism of
certain spiritual leaders. Instead
of preaching and exemplifying
unity, they accentuate the theolog-
ical and geographical differences
of the Jewish group; thus inten-
styling the inherent prejudices of
their followers. Instead of foster
ing friendly relations, they Undue
their flocks with a spirit of rival
ry in the interest of their respec-
tive congregations which renders
cooperation and coordinate COM
munal action in Jewish movements
impossible. Where such a condition
exists it may be traced to deep
seated rabbinic jealousies. Con-
gregational antagonism develops
into individual hostility among the
laity with it attendant evils which
are provocative of anti-Semitism.
Anti-Sen1itiSm is indiscriminate, it
recognizes no theological or ge-
ographical distinctions between
Jew and Jew. Such artificial diff
ferences are effaced when anti
Jewish feeling is aroused. Mutual
disparagement by Jewish commu-
nal leaders breeds anti-Semitism.

No institution or organization
can thrive under repression of
those individuals who manifest

table to note that in this respect
our race has changed but little
since the time OF Moses. Jewish
leaders, especially in small COM

to petty annoyances by their de-

who through public-spiritedness
and innate ability render valuable
