THE LORD REIGNETHT
By Rabbi Norman Gerstenfeld,
Minister OF the Washington Hebrew Congregation

One evening last summer I was pad
ding my canoe when the night came
The sun was going down over the noun
tains in the west. The blue haze of the
distance was lost and the crags came
close, dark and brooding as my frail
craft moved on with the night winds.
The soft wash of the lake waters seemed
the muf1ed sob OF lonely heart facing
the oncoming dusk and the winds wept
softly through the pines as II for the
heartbreak Of the world. AS my canoe
passed beyond the jutting shore I faced
the west again. The afterglow shone
beyond the distant crags and the black
waters now were trimmed with silver and
gold, like molten metal poured out Of the
heavens upon darkening world The
cry Of the wind and the hush of the
waters seemed transmitted into the minor
notes Of great orchestral sweep, as II
the sadness OF string instruments had
been swept onward into triumphal
a divine symphony.
When the night mists began to fall I
made my way homeward. AS meditated
on the wonders OF the earth and sky
felt as did our fathers that there must
be a creator OF this great universe, of
whom the world Is but, his "outer raj
ment" and If we would see beyond the
dark shores of immediate tragedy we
would sense the radiance of the divine
flowing on every side Of our trimmed
darkness. We would hear not only the
cry of sorrow, but the trumpet call of
triumphant faith, If we meditated upon
the divine miracle in which our lives are
spent.
Let us consider the tortuous drama of
our times in prayerful wonder Only
yesterday the world OF free men seemed
overcome by an outrageous tyranny.
With laundering panzer divisions on
wheels and shrieking artillery on wings
it swept through the world like an over
whelming flood. It's crooked cross flew
from the Acropolis. It's legions were in
the shadow Of the Sphinx. It's hordes
had swept to the rocks of Tartarus to
await the demons of the Rising Sun.

Room for Optimism

1t is peculiar fact that as theafor-
tunes OF war steadily improve for the
United Nations, there is a growing
tendency to speak fearfully Of the
next peace, as if coming events
promise to carry with them nothing
but problems too big and complex for
men to master.
This more or less defeatist ap-
proach to the future can be found in
the ordinary, everyday conversation
OF average people-in their remarks
about the prospect of postwar en-
ployment, in their worry over the
size of the national debt, in the
doubts they express over the posi-
bility OF establishing peaceful world
order that will last more than a gen.
Grafton. Taken all in all, it is a kind
OF prematurely-felt disillusionment
in situations that have not yet devel-
oped, lack of faith in the ability of
governments and nations, and pri-
vate enterprise within nations, to
cope with what lies ahead, a sort of
hopeless feeling that the next peace
must inevitably follow the pattern of
the last one.
This negative attitude, though not
universal, colors the outlook of MANY
people here and abroad and is wide
spread enough even for Prime Minis
ter Churchill to take note of it. I'VE
can all lie awake" he says, thinking
OF Nightmares we are going to suffer
after the war is over. Every one has
his perplexities and anxieties about
that time. But for one, being an
optimiSt, do not think that the peace
is going to be as bad as war, and
hope we shall not try to make it as
bad" And that is a common sense
way of looking at it. The peace Ger
tainly will not be as bad as the war,
and II we are not defeatist about it,
If we are positive instead of negative,
If we proceed on the assumption that
thing can be done instead of on the
assumption that it cannot be done,
tomorrow's problems will be at least
half mastered if not more so.
The peace, at any rate, will be bet
ter than the war. The blood will stop
flowing, the weeping will end, there
will be halt to destruction, and the
tumultuous tides of passion and hate
will gradually subside. Then will be
a time of healing and convalescence,
OF building and rebuilding, OF pro-
ducing things that create wealth and
happiness instead of things that lay
waste cities, torment the flesh and
mind, snuff out lives, and twist and
pervert the true ends of our society.
1t will be time when men will once
again be able to do the constructive
work they cannot do now, and for
that reason alone-if for no other
there Is something absurd In the pic

The faggots had been gathered for
funeral pyre Of the freedom of the
earth.
What breath-taking change has now
taken place in the world: One Caesar
oVerthrown, the walls OF Festung Europa
preached, satellite surrendered and the
Wehrmacht surrounded, their helots ter
rorized by the Gestapo within as they
face the growing power of the forces
OF freedom from without.
Our fathers believed in miracles not
as violations of nature but as something
transcending our knowledge and part of
the deeper truths of the worlds nature,
something unfolding in the historic
process to justify the faith of heroes in
the ultimate victory of just God, affirm
Ing that there are spiritual forces in the
world beyond man that help man in the
struggle for the just forces that are the
ultimate determinants of mans destiny
In spite Of mans weakness.
Is this not the deeper meaning of the
tumultuous drama Of our times? Do not
the very heavens and the earth give new
testimony that humanity is not only
going forward but is being led forward?
Is there not in the Talmudic myth that
God held Mount Sinai over Israel saying:
You will either accept the Covenant or
be crushed beneath it," profound truth
Tor our own day? Are not the greatest
steps in human history the result not
OF our own choice alone, but, as if driven
by the threat of catastrophe, dragged
from the edge of the abyss, purified in
the burning cauldron of retributive
tragedy, mankind is led forward, not only
by global but by cosmic forces. to the
foot OF new Sinai and to the covenant
for new age?
Lift up your souls, o children of men,
across the dark sob of the earth's night
and hear the trumpet notes of the
eternal symphony as it sweeps forward
upon the eagle wings of the divine, echo
ing in its answering fight the cry of
faith of the unvanquished of the ages:
1T is the Lord who reigneth from ever
lasting to everlasting" Amen.

self be at least dimly suspicious that
there Is something queer about it.
ALL
How would an American feel If
within the space of twenty-fiv years
his country had twice maneuvered
itself into such hopelessly lonely
and friendless position? How must
Hans and Fritz and their kin, how
must the ordinary people of the
Reich feel when they realize that
this is what their country has done?
The madness OF the thing must in
time become obvious to those who
have been seized by it, and when that
time comes the morale of Germany
will crack and crumble.

Mr.. Wilkes Bid

Wendell WILKES address at St..
Louis, generally regarded as the
opening gun of his campaign for the
Republican presidential nomination
in 1914, makes two points that are
OF prime Importance.
The first has to do with the role
the United States should play in the
postwar world. If the Republican
party wants the support Of the people
in the next election, Mr.. Willkie says,
1t must stand for full cooperation
with the other nations of the world
to preserve peace and promote eco
nomic recovery, and it must choose
as its candidate man who will fight
for this program. The American
people, he declared, "are resolved that
this country will cooperate and CO.
operate effectively with the other
nations of the world that their sons
may never again be needlessly
slaughtered and that peace may be
preserved for their own economic
well-being and for the economic we'll
being of mankind" 1t may be noted
that most Of the Republicans ap-
parently recognize that this is true.
But it will not be amiss for Mr..
Willkie, as we'll as other presidential
aspirants, to emphasize the fact at
every opportunity.
Mr.. Wilkes second major point
had to do with a domestic situation.
Influential men in the Roosevelt
administration, after nearly twelve
years at the helm of Government,
believe that this country has come
to point where it can grow no more.
They are convinced that the role of
government in the future must be to
bring about new economic balance
within the country, to conserve the
resources that are left, and to sup
port through direct government
action those elements in our economy
which cannot support themselves.
Mr.. Willkie dissents from this view.
Our hope for the future, he says, lies
in a great and growing America,
and such an America can be built
neither by setting up an all-powerful
state, nor by turning over eur eco
nomic system to a few self appointed
private individuals" This can be
done only, he insists, by encouraging
a productivity big enough to absorb
the energies and aspirations of our
people. ""
Beyond these propositions, general
in themselves, Mr.. Willkie dealt in
other generalities which were set out
only in the broadest terms. II this
is, in fact, the beginning OF his cam
paign for the nomination it is to be
expected that he will develop these
other points more explicitly as he
goes along.

An Era Of Migration
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
What will happen when the war is
over and the master race" has been
Whitfield down to its correct proportions?
Repatriation will take care of many
cases. But jobs in postwar Europe may
not be located just where they were be-
fore the war. Some workers may have
to leave home again if there is to be full
employment. Professor Kulischer thinks
that this problem may call for nothing
less than the organization of an inter-,
national employment service" He also
believes that there may have to be an
international organization capable of
co-ordinating the interests of the coun-
tries of emigration and immigration and
OF making available the capital necessary
to enable the labor of the former coun-
tries to be used to develop the material
resources of the latter" It is a huge
subject, full of dangers and hope. It
suggests that the need for international
decisions that will be bold, wise and
humane viii not end when the oring
STOPS.

Adequate GIVING Now

This years Community War Fund
campaign covers the ordinary needs
OF those cooperating social agen-
cies whose work is not directly re-
lated to the prevailing national
emergency. 1t also most particu-
larly is designed to raise money re-
quired for imperative work with
Americas armed forces and the
fighting Allies. Both objectives are
vital. Taken together. they repre-
sent cause which is identical with
civilization itself.
Most residents of Washington and
vicinity undoubtedly are familiar
with the reasons why the drive must
be complete success. But not every
one understands the Importance of
giving as generously as possible as
promptly as possible. Many poten-
tial subscribers have taken for
granted the expectation that the
campaign will be extended after the
announced closing date, October 81.

mean to contribute simply because
they anticipate being asked a second
or third time.
To those friends Chairman Cole
man Jennings has replied: "The
Campaign Committee wishes to
stress that we are making every eff
fort to obtain adequate gifts now
with the absolutely planned inten-
ton Of having no solicitation
later" Such a purpose, perhaps,
ought not to demand emphasis, vet
1t does. The Star. therefore, urges
its readers to respond to the War
Fund appeal to the limit of their
resources and at the earliest possible
moment.

FriendIess Germany

1t is difficult not to believe that
there is something psychotic in Ger
manys aptitude for winning enemies
and influencing peoples against her
self. Today, now that Italy has de-
clared war on her, she fights a coali-
ton OF no fewer than 35 nations.
ranging from little Ell Salvador in
this hemisphere to mighty Russia
and China clear around the world.
First it was just Poland that the
Nazls took on. but in doing so, they
knew they were inviting a contest
with England and France. And
once they had won these two major
enemies, they next proceeded to
make enemies of the Norwegians,
the Danes. the Dutch, the Belgians,
the Greeks and the Yugoslavs. And
long before that. of course, they had
already won the undying enmity of
such peoples as the Czechs, leaving
little of Europe that was not ranged
against the Reich in spirit if not in
actual arms.
Apart from the Italians. that is
and the Italians were lined up origi-
nally on Hitler's side only because of
the folly and blind egotism of Mus
Sollnl-Germany has succeeded in
winning but four European allies"
These are the Firms. who are in a
special status; the Hungarians, the
Rumanians and the Bulgars. The
quality of their associations with
the Reich is poor. to put it mildly.
This obviously has made for such a
weak and mutually suspicious alliance
that, like the Italians, these four
reluctant Axis partners" will almost
certainly try to break away the
moment the opportunity seems at
hand.
Thus Germany stands today, with
out any real friends, against most of
the world. Yet, step by step, with
kind of mad logic, she brought it all
upon herself. 1t was not enough that
she still had Britain to conquer and
America to defy; she had to have
more battles to wage than that; she
had to invade the immense spaces of
Russia and fling her forces against
the gigantic but untried Red Army.
And after she had committed herself
deep in that adventure, losing count
less thousands of lives, she made the
supreme megalomaniac' gesture and
declared war on the United States,
the richest, the most productive and
potentially the strongest country in
the world.
Much the same thing happened
under the Kaiser in 1914-18, but Ger
many's marked ability to make enc
mics in that time has since become
even more marked under the Nazis. It
is matter we'll worth the attention
OF psychiatrists. 1t suggests a sick
ness in the German soul-a national
susceptibility to delusions of gran
deur encouraging ambitions so big
and enterprises so reckless that the
end result can be nothing but an all
engulfing disaster. AS he looks
