wheat shortage here and partly because
of the difficulties of TRANSPORT.
Shipping Obtained
Steamers to carry wnea, for Switzer-
land finally have been obtained from
the Northern European neutrals. who,
at first, refused to furnish vessels, even
though the German government had
established safety lanes leading to
Cette, the Swiss free port in France.
At one time it looked as if the Unit
ed States, to keep its promise to the
Swiss, would have to cut down wheat
shipments to the Allies, or else ship
some of its own badly needed stores,
but the corn embargo, it was declared
tonight. would make unnecessary for
the present either Of these measures.
Several of the South American coun-
tries have on hand large quantities Of
wheat, but it has been more profitable
for them to ship corn because OF the
high price it is bringing now in the
United States and in the allied coun-
tries Although wheat prices have been
Tut under definite control. no measures
have been taken to stabilize those of
corn.
More Corn for Allies
Within the next month the United
States will increase measurably its own
exports os corn to the allies, and will
cut down on wheat shipments. Special
arrangements have been made for nov
ing daily to seaboard 500 900 to 100000
bushels of corn daily FOR shipment
Most of the Chilean wheat surplus
this year will go to Central America.
under arrangements just completed
here with the War Trade Board, and
wheat that the United States had in
tended to supply to the Central Ameri
can countries will go to Europe in
stead. Chilean producers have on hand
some 100000 tons of wheat ready for
export as soon as ships are found to
move it. Until last year Chile grew
little more wheat than was needed for
home consumption, but higher prices
during the last two years have stmu-
lated production.

 The act provides for the assignment of able bodied men, between Is and 50, not regularly and continuously en- plOyed, to work in occupations carried on by the state of New York or by private employers, whenever, because of state of war the governor deter mines such assignments to be neces- sary for the protection and welfare of the state, and that they cannot be carried on as the protection and well fare of the people require without re- sort to this act. No person is to be assigned to any work he is not physically able to do.
 The proposed measure empowers the governor to require, by proclama-- ton, every able bodied man between the specified ages within the state to register forthwith his name, address, age and other information With his local county clerk. The latter shall upon request of the governor, fur nish him lists of the names, etc., and

Just before MT. Hoover was excused Senator Jones of New Mexico asked him if his department depended sole ly for the success of it's efforts upon public sentiment.
 That is true,' said Mr. Hoover, land public sentiment is overwhelm- ingly behind us. Trade ssociations have approved the food administra- ton, and the United States Chamber of Commerce, after canvassing it's mem bership, has urged even more drastic legislation of this kind"
 Senator Reed at this point objected to this line of questioning. Self eulogv would not be admitted in 8 court of law" he said.
 Well, this is not 8 court, and, any how, I have never practiced in crim- inal courts in Missouri" said Senator Jones.
 The audience laughed and applaud ed this sally. Senator Reed sternly enjoined silence.
 When EIr. Hoover ended his testi- mony and was leaving the room some women again applauded, and the Mis- souri senator again rebuked them, threatening to clear the room.

 The act, in conclusion, says that it's provisions shall not apply to persons temporarily unemployed for less than one month or in any business which depends upon a season for it's main tenance.

EDl TORIAL
COMMUNAL DRONES.

There is a great deal of communal
work to be done, and communal
service to be rendered, in every
Jewish Community. Very little of
it can be secured from paid work
ers and agencies. No community
is rich enough to pay for all of it.
Nor is it desirable that it should do
SO. For it would seal up all springs
of voluntary endeavor and service.
Who attends to the communal
needs and renders the necessary as
sistance? In every city you NAV
find just a few men and women,
mere handful, who give abundantlv
of their time and energy in the con-
duct of organizations, the manage
ment of institutions, and the super
vision and stimulation of various &C
tivities. A mere handful. Attend any
meeting at any place and any time,
and you are likely to see the same
faces at most of them. They are
the workers, the communal dray-
horses.
While the number of workers is

"There was time when one of
the foremost duties of the Rabbi

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

thus very small, the number of com
munal drones is exceedingly large.
Hundreds and hundreds of people IN
communities like those of the Twin
Cities spend their days in selfish
pursuits and selfish enjoyment with
out ever giving a thought to the
needs of the community in the midst
of which they live and thrive, With
out ever responding to a call tor
service or assistance In their snug
self-complacency they generally
speak of themselves as people who
strictly mind their own business.
Yes, indeed, they mind their own
business only too well and that is
all they do mind They do not
realize that in sense the commun-
tvs business is their business, too,
for they are a part Of it. They do
not realize that their boasted free
dom from meddlesomeness or
officiousness is nothing but an in
dication of extreme selfishness, a
complete absorption in self to the
exclusion of all interest in the well
fare of others.
The selfishness of some of them
is evidenced in another way too,
namely in their ungenerous, unwlll-
ing, and grudging response to ap-
peals for financial assistance and
contribution to the communal ex-
chequer, even tho they are we'll able
to give They are not at all misery
in the matter of self-indulgence.
They will spend hundreds of dollars
in gratifying their own and their
families whims, vanity, thirst for
pleasure and hunger for display, but
they will think more than twice be-
fore they give one dollar to worthy
cause And with what poor grace
they give it,
The men who do the work are as
a rule, the men who also give free
1y, generously, and graciously. 1t
is a pity and a shame that there
should be SO few of these big hearted
and sympathetic men and women
upon whom the heaviest burden
generally rests. and SO manv of the
communal drones.

DR.. Philipson's call, ITO Your
Tents American Israel" Such is
the heading of his long editorial in
the last issue of the American
Israelite.
In Biblical times the call "To
Your Tents" was call to secession.
In answer to this call the ten tribes
shook off their allegiance to the
house of David. Has Dr. Philipson
the same thing in mind, when he
again arraigns the Zionists, as he
does in his editorial? Does he really
imply the threat, which has actually
been uttered by others, that IT the
Zionists succeed in the establish
ment of their homeland in Palestine,
the non-Zionists will separate them
selves entirely, and thus bring about
a divided house of Israel? 1t is pos
sible that Dr. Philipson and other
anti-Zionist calamity prophets really
look forward to, and perhaps desire,
such result preferring that to any
connection with a Jewish state in
Zion. But we are sure that it will
never happen. The good old Jew
ish common sense will assert itself
even in the anti-Zionists, and many
of them will consider it duty as
we'll as a privilege to make a pill
grimage, at least once in lifetime,
to the land of Israel to see its re-
stored splendors, and to share in the
joys of it's people.
But what has given occasion for
Dr. Philipson's call of alarm and his
demand that the non-Zionists or
ganize presumably to fight Zionism,
just as those of England have done?
The sending of QUESTIONABLE by
the Federation of American Zionists
to United States Congressman and
Senators in Washington regarding
their attitude toward Zionism. What
is wrong about it? DR.. Philipson
simply rehashes the same old stuff,
the same old argument about giving
the impression of a dual allegiance.
The American people are pleading,
working, fighting for the rehabilita-
ton of Belgium, Serbia and France,
for the complete independence OF
Ireland, for the liberation Of the
Armenians; but American Jews
must not make the least effort for
