long peace if the Atlantic al
lance grew firmer and the East
ern world could be held as it's ally.
II think the day is not far dis
tant." Mr.. Bevin said, when the
growth of this power will
create situation where there
will be no alternative but to nego-
tiate, to settle once and for all
this problem that has cursed the
world for so long"
His words were taken to mean
he thought the Soviet Union, fac
ing the combined Western
strength, would have no alterna-
tive but to negotiate with the West
on problems dividing the world.
Meeting Called by Acheson.
The meeting of the IL foreign
ministers, who make up the coun-
Gil of the year-old Atlantic Pact,
was called by United States Secre-
tary of State Acheson. chairman
of the council. at Britain's sug-
gestion.
Along with this meeting Mr..
Bevin announced that he, Mr..
Acheson and Frances Foreign
Minister ROBBERY Schuman would
hold a separate Big Three con-
ference.
(John Sherman Cooper, for
mer Republican Senator from
Kentucky. will be one of Secre-
tary of State Acheson's princi-
pal advisers at the Atlantic
Council sessions and concurrent
meetings of the Big Three for
eign ministers, the State De-
partment said in Washington.
CHS selection represented
new move by the administra-
ton to strengthen bipartisan
foreign policy. Senator Cooper,
now a partner in a Washington
law firm, has served as a mem
Der of the American delegation
to the United Nations. He was
defeated for reelection to the
Senate in 1948.
(The other top adviser to Mr..
Acheson will be Ambassador-at-
Large Philip c. JeSsup.)
Thus, the Atlantic Pact machine
begins to roll into high gear. Mr.,
Bevin told Commons there was a
growing desire among the Allied
nations to deal with economic and
political problems as we'll as with
mutual defense.
Foreign Policy Debated.
Mr.. Bevin's disclosures came in
the first full-dress parliamentary
debate on foreign policy to be
held since the Labor government
was reelected in February.
Both he and his major oppo-
nent, the Conservative leader,
Winston Churchill, made strong
declarations that they did not
believe war was either imminent
or inevitable.
Western civilization is thing
. that must be saved" Mr.. Bevin
said. THE only way to do it is
to hold not merely the Western
world-that is the key to its
salvation-but the Eastern world
as well: To hold the two together
to develop the great power and
potential of the West.
IF that grows in combination.
I visualize long peace"

indicate the assumption of church
membership by the child.
In the early part of the nine
teenth century the Reform tenn
pies are believed to have been
inspired by this ceremony of the
Lutherans and adopted it as a
mass ceremony in the late spring
time, instead of the Bar Mitzvah
ceremony. Lately, however, more
and more Reform temples are re-
Installing the ceremony OF Bar
Mitzvah, at least in part.
Even some Orthodox congrega-
tons have confirmation cere-
monies at this time of year, in
spite of the fact that every boy
goes through the Bar Mitzvah
ceremony anyway. Thus it seems
to me, that the ceremony of con-
firmation is developing int o
nothing more tn a n formal
graduation from the synagogue
Sunday School.
The act of mass worship and
indoctrination is not recent in
novation in Israel. From the old
est times, there were always oc-
casions when different groups
were given their role to play In
Jewish ceremonies. Perhaps the
formality of the confirmation
ceremony can add to a touch OF
beauty to the synagogue ritual.
QUESTION: Why do confir-
nations take place at Shavuous
time. or on the holiday itself?
ANSWER: Shavuous is the
holiday which occurs as an ami
versary of the day upon which
the Torah was given on Mount
Sinai. At that time the people OF
Israel were formally introduced
to Jewish law. The case is obvi-
ously parallel to a child who,
reaching the stage of adolescence,
is formally introduced to the re-
ligion of his people and assumes
some sort of public responsibility
for it's upkeep.

With Mayor Albert D. Cash of

GERS, two hundred cases of
oranges from Israel produced a
net profit of almost $4,000 for the
United Jewish Appeal recently.
Auctioned under the direction
of Cincinnati Jewish Welfare
Fund, which raises money in that
city for the UJA, some of the
oranges were sold for as much as
$500 a case. Total proceeds were
$7,218, representing $500 more
than the market value of the
merchandise.
Mayor Cash acted as auctioneer
for the first nine cases, which
brought in total of $3.50. Pur-
chasers of the first ten cases re-
ceived a bottle of Israeli wine as
an extra bonus.

QUESTION:: What is the mean
ing and significance of modern
confirmation?
ANSWER: l take it that the
question refers to the ceremony
called confirmation which is held
in the synagogue on or about the
time of the festival of ShavuouS
especially by Reform and Con-
sentative temples. Strange as it
may seem, most writer's claim
that this ceremony was borrowed,
to a certain extent, from the Pro-
testant c hurch. In the Roman
Catholic Church confirmation is
one of the sacraments which is
administered to a seven year old
child. The Lutherans, in the
course of the Protestant revolt,
rejected the ceremony as such and
established a similar ceremony to
