Canada Permits
Refugees To Join
Armed Forces

TORONTO (JTA)-Hundreds of
young German-Jewish and state
less refugees who are now intern
ed in Canada may be given the
opportunity to join the Dominion's
armed forces or work on farms,
according to the report submitted
to the Dominion executive of the
United Jewish Refugee and War
Relief Agencies which held a two
day session here. Applications for
enlistment from many of the in
ternees are now being studied by
the Department Of National De-
tense which views with smmpa-
thetic interest" this willingness to
serve, stated Saul Hayes, the ex-
ecutive director of the Jewish or
ganization.
Owing to the shortage of farm
labor many of the internees will
be given an opportunity to work
on the land. Among the internees
are many Halutzim who have had
farm training in England.
The session also discussed the
question of aid for the Polish
Jewish refugees in Russia. It was
decided to remit Immediately the
sum of $4,000 for relief purposes
and study the best possible means
of aiding the refugees in Russia.

'Vhereupon lawyer who was a
Nh nber of the same convention
said that the same objection could
be voiced against one of the books
of the Bible.
At this, the minister arose and
said what the lawyer had said
was absurd, that if the lawyer
could show him one of the books
of the Bible which did not men
ton God, he would vote for the
ratification of the Constitution.
OF course, the minister voted
for ratification, for the lawyer
told the preacher to go home and
read the book of Esther-the book
on which our Purim Festival is
based.
The Book of Esther does not
mention God and yet in sense
it is a book which above all 9TH
ers sounds the note of faith. Con-
slider what happens there. Hannah,
the prime minister, has obtained
approval of an edict to make
Persia as Hitler would term "Jud-

victory upon victory and to top
it all there comes disquieting re-
ports from the Near East.
Yet despite all this, there is a
confidence in most of those in
whom the instincts of civilization
have percolated-that the finish
shall see Hitler and the Japanese
leaders winding up where Hannah
wound up. We say with Mordecai
we know not exactly where
but salvation and deliverance
shall come"
We remain confident that again
this time, however, it may be de-
layed, we shall add another dish
to our diet. Jews always add to
their cuisine after victory over a
foe. Matzos as a result of the
triumph over Egypt. Hamen-
tachen as result of the triumph
over Hannah. Perhaps as has been
suggested, hereafter we shall eat
Hitler herring. You remember the
definition of a Hitler herring. It
is a Bismark herring, with the
brains and heart taken out and the
mouth wide open.
But all civilization, not alone
the Jews will eat these Hitler
taschen or Hitlerherring. In fact
the Dutch about year ago, pre-
maturely began to eat them. The
story is told by the Knickerbocker
Weekly, organ of the Dutch gov
ernment-in-eXile. Upon the flight
of Rudolph Hess to England, re-
port spread in Holland that many
other leading Nazis were fleeing
and they thought it was the be-
ginning of the end. AS a result
the Dutch bakery shops quickly
ran out of all their pastry as the
people flocked to buy sweets for
celebration.
The ancient rabbis said that in
the days of the Messiah all other
holidays would pass away but
Purim would remain. Seems rath-
er strange to say. Purim the fes-
tival that we treat so lightly, will
remain while the awesome New
Year holiday, the solemn Yom
hppur, the Festival of Shebouth
commemorating even the giving of
the Law will pass away.
We begin to see why they said
so and the day this war ends will
be day Of Purim for all civiliza-
ton.

enrein." Every Jew is to be an
initiated. Lots have been drawn
and a day set apart for the day
of the massacre. The Jews are
not given the alternative of exile
or of conversion. Just one fate is
reserved for characterization.
There appears no way out or
rather just wee bit of hope. A
Jewish girl stands in favor of the
king. She is Queen. But the
King does not know she is Jewish
Probably no one knew save in a
limited Jewish circle. Her name
is not Jewish, but Persian. Esther
is a Persian name.
And Esther knows that ap-
preaching the King is precarious.
She knows how high this Hannah
stands in the favor of the King,
for he has been advanced so rap
idly above others. 1t may end in
her dangling from gibbet, for
she knows that the King has no
computations against killing a
Queen or two. Had her predeces-
sor not been disposed of by the
King and Queen Vashti, too, had
stood high in the favor of the
King. For simply refusing to ac-
cede to the Kings orders to do a
little bubble dance while outsiders
were present, Vashti had lost her
head.
Mordecai knows how slim is the
hope of saving his people, but
there is a faith in Mordecai that
seems to rise above this, to the
point that this man who angered
Hannah by refusing to bow to him
does not mince words with Esther
either. Salvation and deliverance
will come to us from other
sources" he tells her, whilst she
may indeed be lost, if she does not
act.
This is faith-quiet but all pen
etrating falkland so the Book
of Esther is truly a deeply relig-
ious book.
The Southerner, Alexander H.
Stephens. when pleading with his
fellow Georgians against seces-
sion, spoke of the Union as being
something like Oxygen. Oxygen,
he pointed out, was unseen and un-
felt. We never talk about it, yet
withdraw this element and all
living things collapse.
And this faith of Mordecai was
something like this also. He didn't
go around shouting about God
and religious doctrines, but there
was faith in him-the same kind
Of faith that is at the bottom of
the heart of every civilized man
today as we face a world in which
the forces of Hannah and tyranny
triumph. We know that Hitler
still holds an important part of
Russia and that with the coming
