COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

While the index of industrial pro-
duction for January was not quite up
to the December level, rural con-
sumer buying power-the grass roots
is showing marked improvement.
Government farm economists expect
the improvement to carry through
well into 1910 and are optimistic
about the entire year, barring un-
foreseen crop surpluses due to sudden
peace abroad, which is not looked for
in Washington.
Farm income is now twice what it
was in 1882 when it dropped to Az
billion dollars Thorough exploita-
tion of the rural consumer market is
being planned by large industry.
The only dark picture on the farm
horizon is pork and lard. AS the war
continues, Great Britain will eventu
ally have to turn to the United States
for both products in large quantities,
further improving rural buying power.
The United States is the only nation
in the world with a large available
export surplus of lard. Meanwhile,
Great Britain is buying vegetable oil
substitutes from other neutrals, al
though many neutrals are turning to
US for their domestic oil needs.
Cotton mill consumption in Great
Britain, France and Italy is at high
levels due to war orders. If British
or French mills are put out of COM
mission due to bombings or lack of
available workers, U. S. mills now op-
Grating at high levels will feel i'm
mediate demands and need more do
mestic cotton.
In connection with the Russian at
tack on Finland, the Finnish Social
Democratic Labor Party and the Fin
nish National Trade Union Centre
have issued joint manifesto in which
the two organizations express THEN
confidence in the Ryti-Tanner govern
ment and declare that only this gov.
ernment, based on the parliament
/

which is freely elected by the people,
is competent to speak and act on be-
half of the people in Finland.
The Finnish people and the Finnish
workers want to live in peace and un-
derstanding with all other peoples,
the manifesto goes on, but, since Fin
land has been the victim of an armed
attack, this small nation, in full
awareness of it's moral strength and
the business of its cause, has been
compelled to resort to arms in order
to defend itself against the aggressor.
The Finnish people and the Finnish
workers are however still prepared
for the settlement by peaceful means
and in mutual understanding of all
differences between the two countries.
But as the aggressor does not re-
spect the sincere will for peace of the
Finnish workers, there remains moth
ing for the Finnish workers to do ex-
cept fight with arms in their hands
against violence, and for the self-de-
termination of their country, for de-
mocracy and freedom, the two organ
izations point out.
The manifesto was the answer of
the Finnish workers to the claim of
the fake Kuusinen government of the
"Finnish Peoples Republic" set up
by few Communists at the instiga-
tion Of Communist Russia.
"The European war is tragic event
that cannot but arouse our sympathy
and our pity. But if we found any
business hopes upon it, we shall only
be diverted from our own American
economic responsibilities. A Euro
pean war will not build the million
houses that arc needed for our low
income group. Europe cannot solve
our unemployment problem for US. Nc
matter what happens in Europe, we
shall still have our problems to solve
here at home" Mrs. Florence Kerr
assistant commissioner, Works Prof.
ects Administration.

Mark Twain's oft-repeated adj
age that Everybody talks about
the weather but nobody does any,
thing agout it" has appropriate
application to the problem of voca-
tional guidance.
At last, however, a Jewish agen-
cy has done practical piece of
work along these lines. The B'nai
Birth Vocational Service Bureau
has announced the publication of a
popular study entitled CAREERS
IN THE SKILLED TRADES, by
DR.. I. David Cohen. DR.. Cohen,
who is principal of the Brooklyn
High School for Speciality Trades
and who has been instructor of
vocational guidance and vocation
al information at the College of
the City of New York for almost
rs years, states that there is prac-
tically no discrimination against
Jews in the skilled trades. While
he recognizes that unemployment
has made it difficult for young
people to gain admittance to the
unions and therefore to appren-
ticeship opportunities, he points
out that a small number of ap-
prentices accepted during the past
decade may, before long, cause
serious shortage of skilled workers

CRATE, but a great number Of pro-
fessionals no longer had the ne
cessary funds to emigrate.
A blacklist has been prepared
Of firms which before the German
invasion supported the boycott Of
Nazi goods or showed a preference
for domestic products. Jews have
been deprived of legal representa-
ton since Jewish lawyers are I'M
able to practice in courts and
non-Jewish attorneys, organized
under the leadership of Commits
sar Wendorff, are not allowed to
accept Jewish clients.
Many Poles in the towns of
Grodziesk, Lublin and Kielce were
reported to have borrowed Jewish
armlets to avoid being trans
ferred to Germany when the Nazis
began hunting for Poles on the
streets to be sent to the Reich
for forced labor. ..
An enforced contribution Of AGO.
900 zlotys was levied on the Jews
of Cracow. Two versions were
current in Cracow regarding what
was to be done with the money.
One was that it was to be used
for buying equipment, including
boots and shovels, for those Jews
in the compulsory labor corps who
could not afford them:
Instructions regarding the pro-
cedure for recruiting Jews for
forced labor throughout the Po-
fish Govern-G General have been is
sued in Cracow. Every Jewish
council must nominate a Jewish
physician who will be responsible
for medical examination of Jews
liable for forced labor. Jews be-
tween the ages Of IL and 60 must
report to the recruiting commits
sion equipped with two changes
Of clothing, at least two pairs Of
shoes, a pair of high boots, under
wear and provisions for two days.
The Nazis were reported to
have developed a new wrinkle in
anti-Jewish sadism in Warsaw,
taking the form of white Lady,
who roams the streets striking
Jews in the face with a steel
lined glove.

THE Palestine Struggle

THE Palestine Struggle
The struggle against the Pal
IstIue land restriction ordinance
pow enters its second phase. The
FIRST Outburst of protest has
bassed over and has had little ef-
eCt for the House Of Commons
upported the Government by a
are majority. Now the ZiOnists
INST map a concerted campaign
defeat the ordinance.
The lines of this program were
udicated by DR.. Chain Weizman,
Who is back in London after his
Eisit to the United States. He is
represented as holding the view
boint that nothing remains for the
ewS but to engage in an open and
bitter fight for their rights in Pal
slime, while at the same time
|ontinuing to support Britain in
he war against Germany.
In other words, there is to be a
war within a war;" DIR. Weizman
Vas planning to inform the British
government that the Jews Of the
VorId, especially those In Pales-
Inc, would not swallow the land
rdinance without organized OPP
OSitiOn.
One reason for the grave view
he Zionists take of the land ordi-
ance is that, in addition to the
amage it does in itself to the
ewish homeland, it is regarded
the entering wedge for carrying
ut the whole program OF estab-
shing an Arab state which is
mbodied in the White Paper of
Lay, 1889, which, until the issu-
nee of the land ordinance, had
cen considered as showed in the
Background for the duration of
he war.
The ZOnists fear that the next
ep will be to carry out the i'm
ligratiOn portion of the White
aper-limiting Jewish entry to
1000 within the next five years
nd then hating it, unless the
rabs consented to further Jewish
IMMIGRATION, which would be hard
likely. In the House of Com
IONS last week, Colonial Secretary
alcOlm Macdonald announced
lat the number of undepOrtable
legal immigrants would be de-
Octed from the next immigra-
on schedule, in accordance with
le White Paper.
Macdonald also revealed for the
rst time the extent of the dis
Euers in Palestine following the
FOmulgation of the land ordi-
ance-which had been hidden
om the world by the stringent
dleStlne censorship. Nearly 400
F"S and more than a score of po-
yemen and soldiers were wounded
