BECAUSE the Nazi racelaws are anti-Jewish and
ID because the most dramatic and most obvious re-
suits of their discriminatory practice have been leveed
at Jews, there has developed in the United States
feeling that the problems growing out of Nazi perse-

VI N"=' ""'e'" who for many years and
through several generations have lived as Christians
but who have been technically declared Jews by the

The term, therefore, of "Christian refugee" is
strangely unfamiliar to US, but is in fact alarming
and tragic condition. Jewry. throughout the world,
has far possible at this time to the
of the unfortunates of that suffering in Germany

black clouds of religious and racial persecution grow

But little nothing has been done for those arbrar-
lily classed Jews because marriage of century
ago has arbitrarily been set down as "a blood
faint" Left practically alone, ALSO are those who
have dared to differ politically with Hitler. That sort
of splendid courage deserves recognition.
Let not forget, either, those Catholic priests and
Protestant cIergymen who continue to declare the
Creator superior to the Nazstae. Germanys prisons
are full of them-and Austria's filling.

Would Tax Idle Land

The labor problem is simply
one of supply and demand. If
the demand was always in ex-
cess Of the supply, as during the
war, wages would be high and
other conditions satisfactory.
In pioneer days when there
was plenty Of free land, labor
could always find employment
and labor unions were unneces-
Sary. There Is still plenty Of
valuable vacant land, but it is
accessible only upon payment
Of tribute to the owner.
Our job is to release this I'M
used, monopolized land by max
ing it as costly to hold idle land
as to put it to its best use, and
this can be done by requiring
the owner to pay into the pub
lie treasury its full rental value
annually.
This is the basic reform with
out which all others are futile.
Land is the source of all wealth
and our prosperity depends upon
its availability for use. Our ma
terial wants are unlimited, and
by the opening up Of millions
of acres Of valuable monopolized
land, the millions of unemployed
could find profitable employ
ment, because labor is the pro-
Queer of all wealth, and capital
is a valuable assistant.
The master mind of Henry
George has expounded the eco
nomic laws of nature which
must be permitted to function
by the repeal of man-made OBJ
Structions. He has blazed the
trail to economic freedom, which
we should follow before it Is
too late.

SPEAKING OF FLOOD CONTROL
we were much interested in story by Russell B Por-
ter in yesterdays New York Times filed at Knoxville
Tenn, in the IVA country
TVA proD0o The most interesting part of Mr. Por-
IT, Wo~tL ters story, to us, was this: That though
IVA is only about half completed
out of the necessary 100000 900 having
been appropriated for it, it has already proved itself as
regards flood control
Chattanooga Tenn has been chronic flood sufferer
Norris Dam, on the Cnch River by regulating the flow
OF the Cnch into the Tennessee reduced flood heights
at Chattanooga three to five feet four occasions dur
Ing the 1867 winter flood period-which saved
Chattanooga an estimated $75OOOO in flood damage.
BY reducing the flood level six inches at Cairo Ill., when
cairo was threatened that winter the IVA NAV
have been the vital factor in saving Cairo from an mum
dation which would have done S15OOOOOO damage
IVA is prime example of the right kind of worl,
relief, we believe About half the money spent on it
for power production facites the other half goes
Indirect for flood control and conservation
ALL, Private industry, if allowed a monopoly
D'0'"e""S to exploit the Tennessee River system.
would spend the half for power but would not spend the
other half for nonproft-making flood control and con-
Servation iva, by spending both halves, makes that
many more jobs, and creates that much demand
for cement steel, lumber, copper, rubber and so on
We hope the spending program is adopted and that it
includes many of this kind of work-reief projects
