MAILING WALL MADE WORLD RELIGIOUS ISSUE IN BRITISH QUIZ

The property on which the wal
stands and the narrow pavement
in front of the wall are owned
by Moslems.
Since the third or fourth cen
tury, Jews throughout the world
have worshipped before the wall,
bewailing he destruction of Jer-
uSalem and the dispersion Of the
Jewish race.
The Moslem owners always per-
mitted them access to it, but the
controversy became acute in 1928,
when the Jews introduced certain
innovations, including a screen to
separate the men and women

CONFER ON KENTUCKY
AVENUE IMPROVEMENT
City without Funds 10 Pay for
Work Needed on Street.

The board of works conferred to-
day with county commissioners on
the proposed improvement of Ken
lucky avenue from Harding to Min
lesota streets.
1t originally was contemplated
that Kentucky avenue would be re-
paired under the connecting link
law, the county and city sharing in
the costs. The city is without funds
for the purpose and requested the
American Aggregate Company,
whose gravel trucks have been held
partially responsible for tearing up
the main artery, to pay a share of
the costs. The Aggregate company
refused to contribute, but agreed to
pay an assessment against the prop
erty if others were charged.
Some plan for financing the
much4needed improvement was ex-
pected to be developed at the con-
ference.

One Great Factory

According to the "five-year plan"
the farms are to be collectivized and
operated as one great food and raw
materials factory" With indus
try similarly organized, and with
the country'S 100000 people
working as the employees of a single
titanic concern, the Russians be-
lieve nothing can stop them-not
even trade barriers like Uncle Sans
skyscraper tariff.
Given a thoroughly communized
state wherein high wages play no
part whatever; where an unlimited
number of workers pride themselves
upon labor for the community while
living the simple life; where food
and raw materials are to be had at
minimum cost; where transporta-
ton charges are negligible, and
where mass production, American
style, prevails in conjunction with
a worldwide system of distribution
which eliminates all middlemen, the
Russians believe they can undersell
every other country in the world.
And they can, economists admit,
if their program succeeds. There
is no earthly reason why Russia
could not only produce enormous
quantities of everything her own
people need with ample left over
to flood the foreign markets at give
away prices. All that is required is
for the five-year plan to succeed
and for the Russians to learn eco
nomically to operate the machine
thus created.
