Customs Toll Prevents Giving

The first proposal to utilize tn.
treasure for the relief of Nazi vic.

1T would be very fitting" h.
declared, that this treasure which
the Nazis stole from millions O.
helpless men, women and children
should be applied to the relief ane
rehabilitation of the most cruelty
treated group of the Nazis' victims
the nonrepatriables. 1t is doubtful
whether any other single group has
in modern history, suffered 81
cruelty.
These nonrepatriable refugee:
have lost everything-their property
livelihood and homes. Most of then
have suffered the terrors of Naz
concentration camps. Indeed. among
the assets available in the German
reparations pool, the most liquid art
the wedding rings, dental filing
and other articles taken from tht
refugees themselves and from theil
murdered relatives, friends and COM
patriots. To use this loot to helE
these tragicaIly helpless people te

to be only common justice"
Initially. DR.. Angelrs proposal wa.
opposed by the Czech, Yugoslav and
other Eastern European representa-

that collaborationist elements among
the DPS might be aided. The com.
plant. however, was overcome by a
United States stipulation that nc
benefits would accrue to coilabora-

British Also Hesitant.
The British also were heSitant
about the plan. They gave nc
specific reason. but were understood
to fear that the proceeds from the
sale of the loot might be used by
Jewish refugees to finance their
to Palestine.
However, in January 1916, the IL
powers participating in the repara-

By Esther Van Wagner Tufty

shrug off reminders OF their war
time reaction with..."We only
squawked because while we were
fighting was no time for the boys
safe at home to yell for more
money But others are rebellious
as they were in the foIholes. These
are the ones who pop up to protest
against the strike and are hauled
down into their seats. Here in
Detroit, It is anybody's guess IL
the Gls among the strikers will
gang up and be heard as a unit.
