ment. According to him, Slaves

You could have further point
ed out that among the Romans
Barbarian lands were looked
upon simply as game-preserves
where ambitious captains from
the Tiber went to refresh their
regulations by hunting and vic
timizing the inhabitants"
(Moore). You could have
pointed to Varro's famous de-
nomination Of farm laborers as
vocal agricultural implements"
who, when they grew old and
weak, were taken to an island in
the Tiber and exposed to die
from hunger.
And then you could have
pointed to the ancient Hebrews
and shown us that long, long
before the glory OF Greece and
Rome, Jewish sages and prophets
had already caught a glimpse Of
just social order and pro-
claimed it in the teeth of in
trenched privilege. Long before
the days of the Greeks and the
Romans, Jews had already
groped for a time when the
sword would be beaten into
plowshares and the spear into
pruning hooks, and the art of
war would be taught no more,
and the lion and the lamb would
lie side by side. And you could
have quoted the elaborate and up
till then perhaps unheard-of con-
ception of the relationship be-
tween native and alien in the
Law Of the Stranger, part OF
which reads Ct am quoting the
Hebrew without referring to the
King James version): "One

Dear Sir:
In the unsigned articles on
Jews in your magazine you de-
p1ore that most of the protests
reaching you do not come from
the Jewish masses. This should
not lead you to conclude that
they are acquiescent. Like the
inarticulate masses of all other
peoples, most of them have nei-
ther the time nor the training to
voice their resentment. AS one
of them I assure you that they
protest, however, none the less
vehemently, though silently.
To de1ve to the root of the
Jewish question you go to antiq-
uity and prove by quoting pas
sages from the Bible that even
then Jews had looked upon the
world round them and estimated
what its man-power could be
made to yield" And as result,
they created the Law of the
Stranger, by which they threw
an economic yoke over the Cen
tile population of the Holy Land.
All this might be perfectly
true. But had you set yourself the
task Of proving that the ancient
Jews were upright and just you
could have easily found passages
in the Bible to uphold your
arguments.
You could have pointed to the
fact that not only the whole Ash
attic world but also "the whole of
the Hellenic world was one vast
pen of slaves" These unfortu-
nate human beings chad no rights
whatsoever. If one of them dis
played unusual powers of either
mind or body, he was secretly
assassinated" And yet one of
the dozen greatest minds of all
time, Aristotle, saw nothing
wrong in such social arrange

the Tews had x x y remained
under the Law of Moses, they
would hardly have achieved the
financial distinctions which they
have since won." Perfectly true.
But would the Christians have
won their financial distinctions
had they followed the injunction
of Christ to take no heed Of the
morrow, to give all to the poor,
and not to lay up treasures upon
earth?
If the Christian in his own
land, master Of his destiny, did
not live UP to the teachings of
Christ, why then blame the Jew,
in alien lands, subject to the
whim and caprice of often un-
friendly neighbors, for not living
up to the Law of Moses?
The Worlds Gold Center and the
Jew
When you come to the modern
Jew you tell us that his object is
to wreck the government. He is
enabled to accomplish this by his
mastery of the worlds gold sup
ply. To prove your contention
you try to show that the worlds
gold center has always moved
with the Jew. When he was in
Venice and Genoa the gold
center was there, when he went
to Spain, it followed him; and
when he was driven from Spain
he took it along with him to Hol-
land and England. Historians,
you tell us, have been puzzled by
this gold movement till they dis
covered that it had always fol-
lowed the Jew.
Who are the historians? Som
bart? You forget that this Ger
man professor had set out to
prove a pet theory that the Jew
was the founder and perpetuator
of capitalism. Unless he assum-
ed that the worlds gold supply
had always been in the Jews
possession, his whole theory goes
to pieces. And therefore he
assumes it and gives himself
credit for great wisdom. Other

STATEMENT OF
 PROPOSED POLICY

Hartford, May 5.---Wlfiam F. Whit more of Hartford, who has been ap- pointed flair price commissioner for Connecticut, has retufned from a con ference with officials of the depart ment of justice in Washington and will assume the duties of fair price commissioner at once, according, to an official announcement made yester- day. MT. Wthitmore yesterday out lined his proposed activities in the following statements:
 "A great deal of the unrest, the strikes, and the activities of the Reds, in this country today, is directly due to the high cost of the necessaries of life. There are more dollars in the pay envelope than there used to be. If they brought the worker subStan- tiaHy more of those things that he needs than the fewer dol4ars l5ged to buy for him, contentment would reign. It is becazgse they do not that we have a situation today command ing the earnest effort of every Amer ican toward betterznent The higher cost of labor, of course, makes the cost of necessarieS higher, but if we are to arrive at any condition of gen erad contentment there must not be an unreasonable spread between the production cost and the cost to the consumer. That this spread between the producer and the consumer has become too great seems apparent and that it should be reduced is vita4Iy important
 tAAn amendment to the Lever Act was passed by Congress last October. Under this act it is unlawful for any person to make any unjust or unrea- sonaible rate or charge in handling or dealing in or with any necessaries- Foods, feeds, wearing apparel and fuel are defined in the act, among

 The fair price commissions, by the aid of an advisory committee, wla determine what the department of justice will consider as reasonable margins of gross profits for dealers in these necessaries- No attempt will be made to establish fair price lists, as such have proved unfeasib3e. There will be shown only maximum percent ages of gross profit which wiM be considered reasonable and beyond which dealers must not charge if they are to be secure from complaint, and from proSecution by the United States attorney.
 There will be an earnest effort to establish these profit margins with due regard to the fair interests of all concerned

RAG PICKER YIELDS s1o,Ooo.

 The police searched Spiegel and in the lining of his cap, coat, trousers, boots, shirt and vest they found layers and layers of soiled, ragged old SIC bills. The poor rag picker's fortune consisted of about $10,000.
