WASHINGTON FOLKS.
There are some things that I want
tn get off my chest. Some facts,
some conclusions, some afterthots,
some predictions, just odds and
ends. consequential and incense
nuentaLthat ought to be said.
The start of a new year strikes me
as good time to do it. (Also, this
marks the start of my ninth years as
. columnist and I am grateful to
yo1 who have done me the honor to
read my observations.)
You folks may have disagreed
With me many times during the last
wear. I have no quarrel about that.
If. however, the product that I have
sent you each week has failed to
cause you to think more deeply
about the problems of government,
the problems of the United States,
I am forced to conclude that I have
not done my job very well. Conf
dentally, have believed for a long
time that it is up to you folks out
there to do the thinking that is fol-
lowed up by governmental policies.
The brand of thinking that is domi-
nant in government now has gone
sour. It surely is getting us no place
very fast.
I am rather optimistic about the
new year, however, because there
ere 50 many signs Of an awakening.
It IS the kind of an awakening
that causes voters to sweep out pam
aceas and blue printed programs.
The country's trend definitely is I
believe, towards its old conservative
base after aimless wanderings
around in the garden of isms.

capped from their native lands.
History here repeated itself after
nearly 400 years. The Jews who
escaped from the Spanish Inqui-
sitiOn i'm the fifteenth and six
teenth centuries and took shelter
in the Netherlands found them
selves again in the hands of their
prosecutors when Spain conquered
the Low Countries in 1855.
However, there is no substan-
tial record to show whether or not
the refugees suffered greatly dur
ing this interlude of Spanish rule.
What is known is that the Span
iards made strenuous efforts to
introduce the Inquisition and that
as a result the Netherlanders re-
volted and threw them out in 1881.
The newly constituted United
Provin ces proclaimed religious
freedom in 1893. Since that time
Holland has not known religious
persecution and her Jewish popu-

The Nazi juggernaut crushing
the Low Countries has smashed
the worlds oldest uninterrupted
tradition of Jewish freedom from
oppression. This was the pride of
The Netherlands.
Hollands record of amicable re-
lations between the Christian pop
ulation and it's Jewish neighbors
goes back with only comparatively
minor breaks for $50 years, to the
earliest known settlement. The sto-
ry of peace, tolerance and good
will is uninterrupted since 1881.
One of the happiest chapters of
Jewish history has been written
in the doughty little. country of
bikes and diamonds. Exposure of
100000 Netherlands Jews now to
the fate from which they have
rescued thousands of German Jews
is tragic by-product of the war.
No Jewish community in the
world has done more i'm proportion
to its size to help German Jews.

gallivanting around England with
the "y o u-can't-w i N" philosophy
that played an important role on
the road to Munich. And now,
the blond young hero is back in
his native land. He is no longer
silent. His mOdesty has van
