founded in 1922, that he began
to turn over to others some Of
the heavy burdens he had borne
so lightly during his so years
in the rabbinate. The Institute,
a seminary for the training OF
rabbis, was one of his accomp-
lishments which brought him
many satisfactions.
Stephen Wise was, first of all,
a rabbi - a rabbi who blaZed
trails for other rabbis to follow.
He taught them to prize their
ancient role of teacher and to
concern themselves with all OF
life. He taught the Jewish lay
men to stand up and be counted
as a Jew, and that the Reform
temple is the place to emphasize
ones Jewishness, not a place
to cover it up. He preached, Jew
ish dignity and pride in the Jew
ish tradition as an expression of
democratic Americanism.
He served his people well as
the foremost American interpre-
ter of Judaism. He was the out
standing personality in American
Jewry. and non-Jews who knew
the name of but a single Jew
knew Rabbi Stephen S. Wise. He
was a leading, lifelong spokes-
man for American civil rights,
good government and morality in
public life.

BY the Assoeioisd Press

The proposed North Atlantic
treaty makes a simpler. more di-
rect promise of Allied intention to
resist any attack than the Rio
defense pact which the United
States made with the American
nations in 1947.
The Atlantic treaty defense
clause specifically mentions the
possibility of "the use of armed
force" against an aggressor
whereas the Inter American
treaty reserves the listing of this
possibility for another and less
spotlighted article.
The underlying reason for this
difference is that negotiators of
the Atlantic agreement felt that
the people of Western Europe
must be given the strongest possi-
BILE assurance, short of an auto
matte commitment to go to war.
that the power of the United
States is firmly allied with them
in any trouble with the Soviet
Union.
Both the Inter- American treaty
and the North Atlantic pact de-
clare the principle that an at
tack on any one of the allies shall
be considered an attack on all.

Furthermore, the State Depart

The United States, it said. will
hold the Romanian government
responsible for the return Of
properties or for prompt payment
of adequate and effective compen-
sation therefor"
A survey made in 1943 estimated
the value of American properties
in Romania at $66. 100000. OF
