By MBS. ARTHUR BBIN < Chairman, Committee on International Relations and Peace National Council of Jewish Women. .
Never since the original Hanukkah celebration in the days of the Macca-beans has this mid-winter holiday been as significant as it is this year. There is a real parallel between that eight-day celebration more than 2100 years ago and the problems, that are confronting the world" today. Although Hanukkah came at the close ol a long bloody war, it was conceived as a commemoration of peace, just as our Armistice Day commemorates a peace, and the things that the Mac-cabeans fought for then are in many respects similar to the causes of the war today.
. A Hellenistic empire had been built. The rulers were determined to make all the peoples within the realm conform to one pattern. They had no patience with differences. Just as in the totalitarian States today, the rulers were determined to form a nationalistic pattern with total disregard for the rights of Individuals. As is always the case linder such a society, minorities who would not adopt Greek names, who refused to attend the sports events and other fetes on the Sabbath, were singled out for special persecution. When nerves became unstrung, when patience became exhausted, when hiunan dignity was reduced to a new low order, revolt followed.
The Hanukkah celebration is really a commemoration of the fulfillment of the desire of a people to live as free men,, to pursue their peaceful purpose arid participate without interference la their traditional customs and beliefs.
Twenty centuries after the close of that war, totalitarian governments are again proclaiming the supremacy of the state; are again trying to impose a pattern upon the people; are again encrouching on the rights of conscience and the liberty of the individual. Again, if the individual does not conform, he is considered an enemy of the state and is marked for liquidation.
It is because the National Council of Jewish Women realizes that public opinion must be prepared in order to be articulate when the terms of is laying new emphasis on its peace program. The study of international affairs and preparation for the new peace is urged upon all of council's 65,000 members in 350 sections throughout the country. For forty
years, this organization has championed the establishment of such peace machinery as will make it unnecessary for nations to resort to force in the settlement of their deputes.
Through education and support 6f peace legislation, through joining forces with other like-minded orgari-iziations, Goimcil has worked consistently toward this objective. It has thrown its strength at various tim& to support such institutions as the League of Nations and the World Court, It has worked unceasingly for the outlawry of war and general disarmament. Fully aware of the failure of the efforts after the last war to secure lasting peace, we are now dedicating ourselves with renewed vigor and determination to the tasks before us, S Last month, H. G, Wells drew up;a new outline of human rights in which he urged that the next peace conference present the world with a new declaration of the rights of man, agree with him that it is more ini-portant than map drawing, sanctioris or framing of constitutions. Such'a declaration would in fact furnish & criterion for our subsequent treaties and for the behavior of every nation in the world.
Mr. Wells lists these ten specific rights: - i
1. The abolition of the distinction of race or color in the realization of individual physical and mental development.
2. Freedom of thought and expreJS-sion.
3. Protection of person and personal property from violence and intimidation.
4. Protection from misrepresentation.
5. Freedom of the right to choose one's work.
6. Freedom to move about the world in safety.
7. Protection from forcible entrance into one's home.
8. Protection against tortmre during imprisonment,
9. Protection against illegal arrest and imprisonment,
10. Freedom of religious worship, i

Confiscate Property of Jews Jewish communities through o u t Poland are behig forced systematically to give up all valuables, household effects and even clothing. Jewish property in azi-occupied Poland, estimated at 70 million marks, has been confiscated and in Wloclawek alone, Jews were forced to give up personal property valued at approximately 20 million marks.
