 Before Pearl Harbor," Blaekall said. the war rider clause in tn- surance policies was more or less competitive. After Pearl Harbor, the companies more or less came to a general understanding on the war rider clause. All new policies now have the war rider clause.
 "One final effect might be. after this war is over if a great many men remain in the service for police purposes, that a feeling would arise that the war rider clause should be made permanent.

system already applied in peace
time, in appeasing time: several
hundred thousand German Jews
were punished for what one young
Polish Jew had done in Paris.
Instead Of being stirred" the
world should have understood
what that meant, but the world
never understands. But stirred it
was and the papers told the story:
Synagogues burnt, Jewish shops
looted in every German town
until the end Of 1885 there were
still Jewish shops in Germany
the Friedrichstrasse in Berlin
filled with merchandise which the
S. A. boys had thrown from Jew
ish shops and warehouses through
broken windows; a fine of one
billion marks imposed on the Jew
ish community; and practically all
male Jews, fifty thousand of
them, arrested and sent to con-
centraton camps. This was the
story and it told the facts"
Some weeks later the papers were
able to report that most of the
fifty thousand Jews had been re-
leased from fhe concentration,
camps. So that was that and all
is well that ends well. But there
were more facts behind these
facts. and they are the facts
which really matter because they
left permanent mark on the
minds and bodies of fifty thous-
and Jews, or, if you add their
women and children and other rel
atives who suffered with them. of

Not only five lines but maybe
50 lines in the newspapers were
devoted to that incident. In the
autumn Of 1888 a young Polish
Jew shot a Nazi official in Paris.
