Weekly Letter from New

Continued from Page One. }

This incident shows plainly the at
titude of the jewish labor masses i'll
New York Notwithstanding the bad
material conditions now prevailing
among most of the Jewish workers,
the workers are wise enough not to
embrace every radical phrase offered
to them. Mr.. Mo,lem's arrival was
"Loomed" to very considerable eN-
tent. particularly by the Forward,
but seemingly in vain.
their leaders. Joseph Schlossberg. OF
the Amalgamatcd Clothing Workers
and Benjamin Schlesinger of the IN
tcrnationnl Ladies' Garment Work
crs. gave ii clear explanation of that
silent boycott of the masses. Thcy
said that American Jewish workers
had nothing to learn from their
European co-workcrs, but that the
latter can. on the contrary learn much
from the former.
This Is tile crux of the situation so
often stated to Jewish workers by
their real friends. America is neither
Czarist Russia nor Junkcrist Ger
MANY, but Il country of different tradi-
tions. which must be rcckoned with
ry all who want to take up matters
dealing with American conditions.
Nevertheless there is little cheer
among Jewish workers. ODD strikes
have not been settled and new ones
keep on coming There is strike
among capmakers, there isa strike
among bagmakers. there is commotloh
IN other small trades.
All of the strikes seek TO maintain
existing conditions. 1t is not tn"
workers. but the bosses who are
now making trouble. 1t is the latter
who want to reduce wages. increase
working hours. etc.
The workers are not i'll position to
give In. The cost of necessities con
tinues high, high rents must be paid
and Jewish workers particularly have
relatives in Europe who are looking
10 them lOr alu.
The manufacturers are right III
that they desire the reduction oi
prices of the manufactured product
as the public would not otherwise buy.
Where there are no buyers. the en-
tire. industry must go to smash.
Strikes cost much. very much. The
Furrier's Union has just published n
statement about its last strike which
lasted 81 weeks, cost SS97.52O, and re
suited in loss of wages to the strik-
ers which cannot even be approximate
ly estimated.
Nevertheless the strike was lost
Now we have many other strikes. the
expenses of which run into millions
and there is no way of telling their
other losses.
Such losses are losses for those VINO
want to help Palestine those who
want to help the war victims. those
who want to aid Jewish institutions or
orga mutations and Jewish work in this
country generally.

FOREIGN TRADE DROPS
New High Record In Values Made In
 1920, However

Washington. March 2.-The volume of Amerca's foreign trade last year was distinctly less than in 1919. de-i spite the establishment of new high record in values for both exports and imports. according to the February review of business and financial con d'tions issued tonight by the federaI reserve board. The volume of ex- ports of a9 principal commodities de- clined about 9 per cent in 1919. .whiisl the volume of imports Of 25 principal commodities increased only { per cent. The year of 1920, the board declared, saw a tendency toward a more bal anced condition of the countrys trade indicated by decided reduction in the excess exports over imports, as conn pared with an excess of exports of little over s4.Ooo 100000 in 1919. rOnly through imports that we receive" the board added, lis it possible for foreign countries to pay us the very large bal ance now outstanding. For this rea- son, the steady declines in imports that have been reported from month to month since June, 1920 when im- ports were at their peak. are not so encouraging.

United States has been more liberal
than any other nation In its provisions
for the disabled soldiers but that it has
failed in large measure to make these
provisions available in spite of the
benefit Of the experience Of other
nations in the recent war and the ex-
perence Of this nation In previous
wars.
"In the rehabilitation of a disabled
man there are three needs-medical
treatment, vocational training and
financial support" the memorial
states "The government has recog-
nized the three needs, but overlooks
the fact that they are the simultane-
Gus needs Of one man, not of three
different men or Of one man at three
different times. 1t makes three prob
lens out of what really is one problem.
Continuing this faulty conception,
1t has given the problem over to three
agencies. All, by force Of circumstan-
ces, are exercising functions they were
not intended to exercise. This pre-
sents an amazing spectacle Of admin
istrative chaos, duplication, wasted en-
ergy and conflict, which is the key
to the present condition.
THE result is the suffering of the
disabled veterans. Thousands are
waiting and have waited for months
for compensation for their injuries.

ly the best medical governmental
agency then available. It acts as an
agent both Of the bureau and the
board. but Is responsible to no au-
thority common to both board and
bureau, because there is no such au-
thOrity.
In view Of this condition the re-
markable thing about the present re-
habilltation program is that It has
accomplished what little it has. Such
progress as has been made is a tribute
to the sincerity Of the men in the bu-
reau, the board and the public health
service who generally have made the
best Of an impossible situation.
THE best Of this impossible situa-
ton, however, has been insufficient

at Marion, where he had a leng and
important conference on the disabled
situation with the next President
The Legion denounces the present
method Of caring for the disabled as
a failure which only can be rem
eded By the entire reconstruction Of
the federal machinery dealing with
the problem.
The functions Of the three agencies,
which deal with the problems Of the
disabled, the bureau Of war risk in
surance, the federal board for voca-
tiOnal education, and the United
States public health service, must be
co-ordinated, their machinery decen-
tralized and all three placed under
common control" the memorial states.
AS an equally essential remedy for
existing conditions, the memorial
urges the immediate appropriation for
the use OF the untned organization
of a sum ample to build or rent
sufficient number Of hospitals to take
care of the 16,900 ex-service men who
are unable to receive treatment at
present because Of lack of beds and
shelter.
The failure" of the government to
afford justice to the sick and wounded
veterans is attributed by the Legion
to "an astonishing state Of divided re-
spOnsibility and wasted effort among
the government agencies with which
the problem rests"
The break In the chain Of response
