You remember that shortly after
December z, 1941, the japanese
stormed on along ever so many
fronts, went from one dizzying VIC
tory to the next, and could not be
stopped-could, in fact, not be slowed
up. Now-and that's the significant
detail that comes out of the Far Eas,
they are moving much slower thar

Threat to India.
Whatever is happening in Russia
whatever happens in Egypt, what
ever transpires in China, constitutes
a direct threat against Britain's most
lustrous crown jewel, India.
1t is becoming increasingly
clear that the axis powers are
guided, first Of all, by a burning
desire to crush the British en-
pire; since India is q major part
of that immense realm, India
must be attacked. There Is no
doubt that she will be.
But there is a question as to abil-
ity of India to Withstand an attack
One must remember that within the
country itself there are decidedly
divergent opinions about the neces-
sity of fighting fighting for Eng
land. Gandhi, not the political, but
the ethical leader of the Hindus, has
been against the plan of his country
fetching arms for the sake Of the
empire as long as India could not
obtain immediate political independ-
ence.
But a few days ago he pub
ished in his own newspaper an
article which said it would be
all right for the British and the
Americans to defend India-at
their own expense!-and that
meant, in effect, that he has
abandoned his old ideal of blood
less resistance.
We here know nothing definite
about the plans concerning India,
but some experts begin to feel that
it may be that part of the world
which will become the final battle
ground of the huge inter-continental
war. The fate of mankind has on
other occasions been determined in
the Far East. 1t may happen again.

Racial Discrimination
Deprecated By Rabbis
Widespread Prejudice Against Coiored People Theme
OF Statement Issued By American Commission

states: Judaism, a universal reli-
gion, the mother of great religions,
has frequently declared through its
prophets and sages that In the sight
Of God men of all races, creeds and
nations are equal. This doctrine of
human brotherhood we reafiirm dur
ing this Race Relations Week, as we
join with teachers Of other religious
denominations in summoning all the
children of men to recognize this
truth as a command Of God. to SUBJ
init to it, and to transform those in
stitutions or practices which deny It.
To reiterate this truth Is always
imperative, but especially during
these times, when an empire, backed
by large resources, has put forth
the thesis, supported with the aid
of pseudo-scientists, and dissemin-
ated far and wide, that its peoples
are members of a superior race, and
therefore, that they have the right
to dominate the earth, to dictate to
other peoples, to seize their lands,
to exploit their natural resources, to
destroy their culture and to reduce
them to slavery. The UNFOLDING Of
the truth of the brotherhood of
races is especially imperative for
Americans now"
Race Relations Week was set to
coincide with the birth anniversary
of Abraham Lincoln, emancipator of
the American Negro.

Cincinnati, o., Feb. 20 - Dtscrim-
nation against Negroes Is deplored
in statement adopted by the Com
mission on Justice and Peace of the
Central Conference of American
Rabbis, of which Rabbi F. M. Isser-
man, st. Louis, is chairman. The
statement, entitled Justice for the
Negro-A Message on Race Rela-
TONS" was made public here by DIR.
James G. Heller, president of the
Central Conference.
The plight of large body of
American citizens, children of the
one God, members of the human
family, brethren of us all, must
challenge the conscience Of every
one who believes in the brotherhood
Of man., the statement reads, in
part This situation is the harvest
of sins of the spirit of which none
OF us IS completely innocent. It re-
suits from the ignoring of Gods
word, that all men are created in
His image. Race Relations Week
should lead all to Gods throne in
prayer and repentance, seeking for
giveness for the sins of racial arro-
gance and injustice. We Jews, who
ourselves have been victims of in
justice, should be especially Sensi-
tive to this"
Although eager to do their share
TO win the war, Negroes are not be-
ing permitted to give service for
which they are qualified, the state
ment charges.
fragrant Injustices
Negroes are victims of harsh dis
elimination and fragrant injustices,
which cry aloud to God and to man
for remedy and redress. the Com
mission declares. They dwell, usual
ly, in the worst Slums, not by choice,
but by the compulsion of law, public
opinion, or threats of violence. The
schools provided for their children
out Of public funds are usually the
most poorly equipped. Their oppor-
tunities for earning livelihood are
In many areas limited to the most
mental tasks, irrespective of their
character, their abilities, or their
education. Many trade unions, Or
gained to champion the rights of
workers, have denied membership to
individuals of the Negro race, who
matter how skilled or how well
trained they were.
80 generally accepted are these
determinations that one important
branch Of our armed services ex-
cludes Negroes as fighters, though
their valor and courage have been
proved in every war of our nation,
and their fidelity and patriotism
have never been found wanting.
Discrimination existed against
them in defense industries to such
an extent that President Roosevelt
raised his voice and demanded OPP
portunities for them. AS result of
his vigorous plea, some Of the dis
examinations in defense industries
have been modified.
despite the social consequences,
which are inevitable in a group that
is vistimized by such unfairness, the
Negroes have maintained their
morale, and have borne their bur-
den without bitterness and venge-
fulnoss, and have displayed a hero
ism and a dignity which command
admiration"
All Men Are Equal
Quoting President Roosevelt as
saying, 1--WE are fighting as our
fathers have fought to uphold the
doctrine that all men are equal In
the sight Of God, the Commission

To be a qualified Warden, 1t is
necessary that the candidate take
the 14hour course laid down by
the State Defense Council, take an
additional 10-hour First Aid Course
designed particularly for Warde1s,
be photographed and finger printed.
After these preliminaries he Is ready
for the job.
The Job.
!. He must have a detailed
knowledge of his sector the location
Of all hydrants, all alarm boxes,
(both police and fire. the location
Of any old wells, any particular
fire hazards In his sector; such as
lumber yards, paint shops, garages,
gasoline storage tanks, etc. He must
know where doctors, nurses, and
veterinarians reside where drug
stores are located and which (if
any are open all night.
2. He must know plenty about the
people In his area-the names and
number Of occupants in each house
those who are usually there in the
daytime and those who sleep there
at night. He must note the bedrid-
den, deaf, blind and aged, and ar
range with neighbors to care for
them in the event OF a raid.
During a raid, the warden will
take reasonable precautions for his
own safety. He need not be walking
about while planes are overhead. If
he should hear a bomb falling or
see a fire starting, however, he
should go to the scene, note the
nature of the incident, make out
his report and phone 1t to his zone
report center. While the raid is IN
progress he will see to it the Black
out regulations are obeyed. If he
notices light showing from any
house, he will notify the residents
and insist that the light be extin-
guished or be made invisible. In
case Of refusal to comply, he will
notify the police.
He must be prepared to evacuate
any area in which poison gas or an
unexploded bomb has been found.
When the raid" Is over, he will
patrol his area to make certain that
no fire is smouldering and that no
unexploded bombs are about.

Curious Spectators In
Raids Called ':Stupid"
Duties Of Air Raid Wardens Described in Latest
Appeal to Public-Dangers During Emer-
gency Also Wildly Portrayed
Cooperation Asked

| Warden Is the guide leader,
friend and information CEN
ter. He is the family doctor" who
diagnoses the trouble during a raid.
He sends messages to the police,
fire and medical and engineering
departments telling what Is to be
done, how much and how soon. He
is the leader and must get all avail
able help. His job is a responsible
one. The latter part of the first lee
ture should be devoted to simple
precautions to be followed during a
raid.
At Home
I. Should an incendiary bomb
crash through the roof and into
the attic, the windows and doors
on the top floor should be closed to
prevent the fire from spreading.
2. Warn the people in your area
to keep away from windows dur
ing raid. Shattered glass from a
distant explosion, bomb splinterS
and machine gun bullets may come
in the windows. Heavy blankets
hung before the windows provide
projections against flying glass.
| 8. Invite any 'passer by" to come
into your home. You may be caught
on the street yourself during raid
and would welcome such such an
invitation.
Don't shut off the gas or electric
ity. If such practice were followed,
the number of casualties which
would be later caused by turning
on the gas while pilot lights were
still open and then lighting matches,
might be greater than those caused
by bombs.
If Caught in the Street
The individual who insists on
standing in the street so that he
may see 1t all Is almost a certain
casualty If a high explosive falls
anywhere in his neighborhood.
His chances of surviving are
doubled II he lies down In the street
and covers his head with his hands
He will be still safer If he can dive
into doorway or veStibule. Inside
a house, away from the windows he
is quite safe unless direct hit is
scored on the house.
! Warn the people in your area not
to be foolhardy. High explosive
bombs, machine gun bullets, flying
splinters, sheets Of glass slithering
through the air, are altogether too
dangerous to fool around with. The
individual who insists on taking
unnecessary risks Is stupid and In
no way worthy Of admiration.
