sages who assembled at Bene
Berak on a Seder evening and
discussed the successors of Rabbi
Eliezer, Rabbi Joshua, Rabbi
Eleazar ben Azariah, Rabbi Aki-

this is our evening of Bene Ber-

Now, at this first peaceful

tive Vienna where in 1899 the
kehillah numbered $4,000 people,
only 1000 native Jews remain.
There will be religious services
this Passover in the 100 year old
synagogue in the Seitenstetten-
gasse, the only temple not de-
stroyed during the 1888 pogroms.
But these people are not likely
to be in festive mood.
Myriads Of white, candle-like
blossoms now may illuminate the
chestnut trees of the Haptallee.
But the times have not yet come
for the Jews of Vienna, nor for
those remnants of Jewry that
survive in Berlin, Prague or Bud
apest to celebrate the spring
with a song. If the wine on their
Sedar table, if they have a Sc
der table--reminds them of the
sweetness and joy of freedom
which they had been denied for
years, they will not need the
dread of affliction," nor the
horseradish nor the charoses to
remind them of their bitter ex-
istence under the Nazis who
made their lives bitter with
hard labor in morton and bricks
and in all the manner of field
labor"
loved Vienna with all my

the city. cannot believe that
all Austrians were poisoned by
Nazi propaganda. But too many
horrible scenes have occurred in
Vienna in the seven dark years
of NaZi rule to make me wish
to return. can sympathize read
lily with Austrian Jews who do
not wish to remain in a place
replete with memories of recent
persecution, but prefer instead
to emigrate to Palestine.
1t was in my native city that
five decades ago a journalist con-
ceived the idea that there ought
to be a Jewish commonwealth
in Palestine, where those Jews
who could not or did not wish
to live elsewhere might live as
free men. After stating these
ideas in a pamphlet called The
Jewish state, Theodore Herzl
gave us a version of the Jewish
State in a novel "Old Newland."

III Ine1r OFFICES, forced them to
scrub the emblems of the erst-
while Schuschnigg regime from
concrete walls and streets, while
heartless crowds grinned appro-
val at the glorious fun.
When finally the Nazis per-
mitted the Jews to go home, it
was late in the evening. Those
who gathered in the synagogues
heard a proclamation read bv
the rabbiS, a call for courage and
generous response to the Jewish
community's appeal for $4,000
Reichsmark to reopen its offices.
The proclamation started with
these words:
'The Rabbinate considers it to
be a holy duty this day to say
a comforting word to all our
brethren. The holiday we begin
today has, for thousand years,
filled us with hope and courage.
This time, too, the holiday should
bring calm strength and hope
for the future for hearts weighed
down with sorrow"
It ended with these memoir
able sentences:
"Who makes a sacrifice for the
community pleases God. There
lives with us the God of Pity
and he will not forsake U.S."
Early Saturday morning, when
l left my home I noticed that
a Passover" edition of Julius
Streicher's Der Stuermer had
been pasted on the wall. It re-
vived the old atrocious blood
accusation, and warned the Aus
trian people against the tricks of
powerful Jewry, saying in
''streamlined" style what Phar-
aoh said to his people: Behold,
the people of the children of
Israel are too many and too
mighty for us; come, let us deal
wisely with them lest they null
tiply..."
YEARLY I sat down on a bench
in the Hauptallee and began to
read Jewish paper. In neigh
boring Hungary, the reactionary
Darany government had begun
to impose severe restrictions on
the Jews. In Romania, a plot
of the anti-Semitic Iron Guard
had been crushed in the nick
of time. In Jerusalem, bombs
had killed some of the pious who
had flocked to the wailing wall
to observe Passover. Ironically,

remote little Paraguay, trying to
utilize the plight of the Jews,
sought recruits for a Jewish For
eign Legion, and found herself
sWamped with thousands of ap-
plications by desperate people
who would rather risk quick
death in the idiotic strife for
possession of the Gran ChacO
jungle than perish slowly in Hit
ler's Europe.
What are you worrying a.
bout?" heard someone ask me.
A stranger stood before me.
Though he looked typically Gen
tile, he wore no Swastika in his
lapel. "Gestapo the Devil in mu-
fiji" flashed through my mind,
as I rose, automatically. Were
Jews already forbidden to sit
on benches in the open air?
The stranger must have guessed
my thoughts, for with a friendly
smile, he said: Don't be afraid
of me. Let's sit down." And he
took seat beside me.
In a few minutes I knew all
about him: that his family had
always been staunch Socialists,
that he had been wounded sew
erely when Dolfuss' henchmen
had shelled the workmen's set
Elements, and that he had fled
from prison only recently, in
the general confusion aroused by
the Anschluss. When we rose, he
shook my hand heartily and said
convincingly: "By Christmas we
shall have kicked all these devils
out"
Eight years have passed since
that peculiar meeting, and now,
in romantic mood, 1 am in
clined to think that the stranger
who had solaced me with those
words was the Prophet Elijah,
who, during Passover, is believed
to roam the world visiting Jews
Eight have passed, similar in
many respects to the years Of
bondage spent by the descend
ants of Jacob in Mizrayim:
"And the Egyptians delt i'll
with us, and afflicted us, and
laid upon us cruel bondage. And
we cried unto the Lord the God
of our fathers, and the Lord
heard our voices and saw our
affliction and toll and our op-
preston. And the Lord brought
us forth out of Egypt, with a
mighty hand and an outstretch-
ed arm and with great terror
and with signs and wonders.
And he brought forth his people
with joy, His chosen ones with
singing. And he guided them in
the wilderness, as a shepherd
his flocks."
The Jews of Europe who were
liberated by the Allied armies
have little reason for joy and
singing. Millions of their breth-
rem were slaughtered; tn e y
themselves escaped. In my ma

Spenders Are Active

The SpcnderS who want to get their
hands on the States reserve cash
are already hard ut work pumping
their propaganda into publicity chan
nelS. Meetings are being held to
generate sentiment favorable to these
programs. and. us was to be cx-
pectcd. they are making Roadway.
In the same issue of one news
paper Il few days ago were two
items pertaining to this spending
agitation. One was the demand of
welfare agencies for still more mon
cy, and the other was the use OF
the hundreds attending North Caro-
lima Farm and Home Week at State
College as 4 vehicle for advancing
their demands for five million dol
lars or more for that institution.
These are, of course, only two of
the activities that are under way,
some containing real merit, others
not so much.
Those who argue that no good
will come from huge SURPRISES if
they are not utilized for the well
fare of the people are on solid
ground. The fact is. however. that
the State has no right 10 impose
taxes upon the people repeatedly
year after year so far in excess of
needs. Instead of spending this moi
ey for new paternaliStic ventures.
the State should pillow the money
back into the hands and pockets of
those who paid il. The taxpayers
are never givor due consideration.
There seem 10 be those in authority
who think that the limit OF their
spending and of the new and fan
taStic schemes they concoct is reg
ulated only by the amount OF mon
cy they can exact from fhe people.
II matters not that there is an I'M
prccedented amount of lash in cir
culation; that is no legitimate rea-
son for government to siphon it off
into unnecessary ventures and spend
ing.
Our guess, however. is that these
agitators will do we'll for themselves
III the next legislature. Unfortu-
n&tely. most members of that body
nave axes Of their own to grind. and
do cot mind mulcting the people 10
TIE extent the people will stand
for il. so long as they arc furthcring
their own interests. And the sad
part Of it is that the people arc so
dumb or so saturated with inertia
that they allow the process to be car
ricd on.

White Bread Again

Return Of white bread again soon
after the first of the month means
that the soc a led IT rumau
bread, or dark flour. will disappear.
Abundant crop yields, especially
of wheat. both here and abroad. have
lessucd the demand for our bread
abroad to Stavc off starvation of mil
lions of people. and ii means more
of the kind we have been accustomed
TO.
But no one has suffered the least
privation because OF the dark
bread" It's use simply meant that
consumers were getting more OF the
valuable vitaminS needed by the
human body for its proper nouriSh-
mcnt and strength. The health of the
nation would be better if the peo-
pie continue to eat this kind of food.
Actually, few people would have
known the difference had they not
been reminded of the change.
1t was no sacrifice 10 abandon
white flour for dark. Its taste could
barely be detected. 1t was even moro
palatable, if anything. No one is
the worse and many may be better
off as the result.
AT the same time, as 4 matter OF
policy and for the purpose an
nounccd. namely. that of making more
wheat available for those we were
supposed to be helping. we never
could see that a great deal was ac-
compliShed. 1t might have been Just
another Of those pin pricks imposed
upon the people to make them rcl-
sciouS Of what they were doing-as
ii that made any difference to speak
of. There would have been just as
much willingness otherwise.

complex that makes them think

dummies and moronS who are I'M
able TO comprehend or to be wiling
