MALANANNLE-.. AANLL AAME ~
for labor problems Adoption Of
right principles for the distribution
Of the income q Industry"
The theory that the laborers are
to be paid only enough to enable
them to reproduce themselves and
thus provide future laborers", the
report said, us branded as vicious.
IL also held that the theory Of
supply and demand applied to labor
was "anti-social and anti-ChTts-
tian," while the principle Of force
and domination II expressed BY la
Dor "is equally wrong"
Admitting that modern industry
requires considerable concentration
Of capital, the report said:
TN too many instances an undue
portion of the income has been
claimed by those who have owner
ship or control Of capital, while
those who have only their labor to
invest have been forced to accept
working conditions which are I'M
reasonable and wages which are UNI
fair. This condition arises from the
fact that labor policies have been
dictated by false principles in the
interests Of owners or capitalists.
secondly, 1t arises from the fact
tina labor has had no voice in the
regulation or adjustment of these
problems, labor can have no efec-
tive voice as long as it Is morgan
lied. To protect its rights it must
be free to bargain collectively
through its own chosen representa-
tives. If labor when organized Is
dissatisfied, the only alternative Is
to cease work and thus undergo the
great hardships which follow unem-
ployment."
It urged that workingmen be
made secure against unemployment,
sickness, accident, old age and
death, and said that private prop
erty Is the first line of defense
against these hazards. ANY such Sc
curity program, however, would
have to be subsidized by the govern
ment as In the present operation Of
the Social Security Act, the report
indicated.
It cited as one factor of insecur-
ity the Immense power and des-
potic economic domination which is
concentrated In the hands of q few
and that those few are frequently
not owners, but only the trustees
and directors of invested funds, who
administer them at their pleasure. !"
1--WE do not wish to imply" the
Bishops said, that individual en-
ployers as o class are wilfu1ly re-
sponsible for this present state Of
insecurity, but we do claim that a
system which tolerates such In
security Is both economically un-
sound and also inconsistent with the
demands Of social justice and social
charity"
The statement pointed out the
Bishops belief that the entire social
and economic order cannot be re-
organized suddenly or through
"hasty" legislation. Changes will re-
quire time and steady growth, they
commended.

Birthday, and though the regular,
midwinter vacation starts tmmedi-
ately thereafter for one week. Dr.
Condor said the school schedule has
been laid out IN advance, and con-
sequently the schools must be opened
on the 23d. The calendar calls for
a certain number Of school days, he
said.
Meeting Tuesday
A survey Of those commissioners
who could be reached today, how
ever, revealed one who said he will
bring the matter before the board
Tuesday night. The board does not
meet Monday night, Lincoln's birth
day.
school boards in an but . few
Connecticut towns have already vot-
ed to close Friday, Feb. q.
Other commissioners said they
were not familiar with the problem,
although one said he thought the
matter was entirely up to DR.. Con-
don because It Is an educational
matter" He said, however, he would
discuss the subject with the super
intendent.
Observers pointed out today that
holding sessions Friday, Feb. q,
would be at odds with the economy
program to which the school de-
partment strictly adheres in other
matters. It was recalled that when
the question came up in other years
and the schools remained open for
an isolated day between two vaca-
tons, the attendance was so poor as
to make the cost Of running the
schools preposterous In comparison.
Teachers Peeved
Once, when the schools opened on
a December 81 between a Christmas
vacation and a New Year holiday the
attendance was recorded at approx
mately 40 per cent. Teachers were
outraged because they had to break
UP their Christmas holiday for one
day.
DR.. Condor said last night that II
his schedule Is not followed the
whole school routine will be upset.
with the result that the schools will
have to stay open an extra day in
June.
However, it was pointed out today
that law requires the schools to be
open $50 days year, and the school
calendar here provides two extra
days in cases Of emergency, such as
storms. It was pointed out that one
Of these extra days might be used
to solve the present emergency.

Early Allied Bid
For Jewish Army
Seen By Zionist

NEW YORK (JTA)-Vladimar
Jabotinsky, president of the New
Zionist Organization, said at a
press conference that it was hoped
soon to obtain Allied recognition
of a acknowledgement Jewish army,
available on all fronts" which he
expected to exceed 100000 men.
Negotiations with the British and
French Governments have been in
progress since the outbreak Of
the war, he said.
The proposed army would be
composed of refugee and stateless
Jews, Palestinian Jews and vol
unteers from neutral countries,
Jabotinsky said. The effect of Gre
alton of such an army, he de-
clared, would be to upset the
ridiculous whispering campaign"
that Jews wanted others to fight
in their interests but themselves
remained at home.
Col. ]. H. Patterson, comman-
der of the Jewish battalions in
Palestine in the World War,
voiced high praise of the Jewish
soldiers he led. The American
Friends of a Jewish Palestine, at
its first annual convention, adopt
ed a resolution urging Britain to
accept the offer of the Irgun Ze-
val Leumi, Zionist Revisionist
youth organization in Palestine,
to relieve British forces for serv-
ice elsewhere.

Germany's power to demand
any German subjects it desires
is stated in Article XIX of the
armistice agreement, which says:
&c. The French Government is
to hand over all German subjects
indicated by the German Govern
ment who are in France or
French overseas territory"
How many Of Frances 100000
Jews and $4,000 German refugees
remained in the country was i'm
possible to ascertain since there
mad been an exodus during the
week between Premier Henri Phil
lippe Petain's request for an ar
mistice and the signing of the
agreement.
Refugees were reported to be
pouring across the Spanish bor-
der in disorderly flight. Baron Eu-
gene de Rothschild Of Paris, with
only five centimes on his person,
was said to be among a group
which arrived at San Sebastian.
Another member of the famous
banking family, Baron Robert de
Rothschild, philanthropist and a
leader in refugee aid in Paris, ar
rived in England, himself now a
refugee. He had joined the French
army last September.
Baron Robert, together wi h
Henri Bernstein, the playwright,
were among 1900 persons who
made the voyage from a Biscayne
port aboard a small ship which

Coughlin Organ
Resumes Strong
Anti-Semitic Tone

NEW YORK (JTA)-The cur
rent issue of Father Charles E.
Coughlin's Social Justice resumes
a distinct anti-Semitic character
after having more or less played
down the Jewish issue in recent
weeks. The general tenor of the
edition is Identification of the
Jews and international bankers"
with Government defense pla S
and the movement to aid the AL
lies.
One article speaks of the New
Deal, upon whose brow destiny
has woven the bay leaves of Mo-
sale deliverance." Another item
speaks of "the Rothschild clan"
as meeting in Paris to discuss the
affairs of the Suez Canal and pre-
diets that they will seek refuge
in the United States rather than
don uniforms and fight the Ger
mans. The Rev. Leon Birkhead,
national director of the Friends of
Democracy, is called a Gentle
Jew"
An editorial is devoted to in
timating that the United States,
although she mitigated her ''im-
migration laws to receive the
wandering Jew" is not equally
interested in British, Belgian and
French children. Another editor
ial is given over to denouncing
Rabbi Stephen S. Wise as an
"erstwhile public consorter with
Reds"

Week In Review
THE CRUSHING OF FRANCE
M MILTON Brown. J.T.A.


The deep shadow of Nazism has
fallen over another half million
Jews as France, the great bull
wark of the demOcracieS in Wes-
tern Europe, lies quivering under
HitIer'S heel.
German refugees and French
Jews who fell into the hands of
the rapidly advancing German
armies were in mortal terror. AS
the Nazis consolidated their con-
troll over Paris, thousands of
Reich, Austrian, Czech and Polish
refugees who had not been able
to escape from the capital sought
to hide in the woods near the
city or wherever they could find
refuge, knowing what fate await
ed them if they fell into the Nazis'
hands.
Heinrich Himmler, GeStapO
chief, assumed supervision of the
German police in Paris, leading
to the expectation that he would
use the me-diShOnOred GestapO
methods employed in Vienna,
Prague and Warsaw, including an
ti-JeWish terrorism.
Young Herschel Grynszpan, who
assassinated a German Embassy
official in Paris two years ago be-
cause of what he had suffered in
Germany, was reported to be in
the hands of the Nazis again. He
was said to be in a Paris Jail when
the Germans occupied the city and
it was reported that he would be
tried by the German authori-
tiles.
There are approximately 10000
German Jewish refugees in
France, as well as $4,000 to AGO.
600 resident Jews. Many of them
succeeded in reaching southern
France, but in this refugee
crammed area the Jews were still
not safe. Some Jewish relief lead
erS managed to reach Lisbon.
But some 100000 Jews have
been made refugees, added to a
Hood for which there are fewer
ana fewer outlets as anti-alien
nysteria mounts. And, of even
greater significance, Hitlerism
mas made another great advance
winch will have repercussions
throughout the world.
