Labors contention would be that the
workers individually and collectively
are responsible in a high degree for
that efficiency, and are justly entitled
to a share in any profits accruing
from it.
Furthermore, the G. M. Corporation
would not be forced to pay more for
its materials, transportation or serv-
ices than it does now, because the
fact-finders are checking the COM
pany's ability to pay only under the
prevailing price structure of materi-
ais, transportation and service costs.
Any assertion to the contrary is simp-
ly scare story.
G. M. says America is at the cross

that The presidents fact-finders are,
in way, to save rather than to de-
stroy the system of competitive en-

There is no agency, more fitted UNI
der the popular conception of democ-
racy, to act as mediator in times of
economic dispute than the govern
ment.
In times of war, when the sovereign
ty of the nation is at stake, we call
on the government to provide an army
and a navy to protect us; in times of
depression we call on the government
to DrOVide relief for those in DISTRESS
So that in times of economic dispute,
the people reared in democracy, have
a right to employ that agency in the
task of mediation.

headlines. These are well inten-
toned protests against hate mong-
ering, mostly by we'll intentioned
people. They serve to show how
the public regards preachers of
inter-racial strife. At the same
time, however, they are free ad-
vertisements for the anti-Semit-
ism line and anyone who wants to
buy into the business knows whom
to see. Pickets, police and angry
protests against America First or
Christian Front rallies also often
serve to make martyrs of the pro-
fessionals.
Perhaps it would be better, in
the fight against anti-Semitism
and racial and religious bigOtry
of all types, if the hate peddlers
were allowed to drown in their
own venom, quietly, with no fam
fare. Such was the proposal voiced
at the plenary session of the Nat
iOnal Community Relations COun-
Gil in Chicago some months back.
Now a booklet has appeared con-
tairing summary of the session
at which five leaders of American
Jewish communities and national
organizations discussed the So
called "siIent treatment" for deal
ing with rabble-rOusers. This
treatment would comprise COM
plete absence of advance publicity,
of public protest, or organized
picketing or any other action
which might call attention to the
fact that an agitatOr was on the
local scene preparing for action.

The numerically unimpressive
following of race agitators in
America, however, is no index of
the damage they can cause. The
fact that Flitcrafts and Kisters
can continue to operate, indicates
that they have the support of
persons of wealth and influence
who cannot be dismissed lightly
as ''lunatic fringe"
According to Maurice Pagan,
Executive Director Of the Phila-
delphia Jewish Community ReIa-
tiOns Council, the most important
task in fighting the rabbIe-rOuser
is to expose his hacker. Mr..
Pagan advocates dissemination of
information about agitatOrs to the
press, police, radio stations, better
business bureaus and government
agencies in advance of their schcd-
Uled appearance. These agencies,
he said, must have in their hands
information exposing the motives,
methods, leaders, finances and COZ

How 10 Stop the Rabb|e RouSer

Newman Levy, legal council of
the American Jewish Committee,
particularly favored this course of
"inaction" in dealing with the
anti-Semitic haranguers.
"If the activities of Smith were
ignored his influence would de-
cline :. When he is not exposed
he is disappointed" Mr.. Levy said.
The repeated failures of Gerald
L. K. Smith and Arthur Termini-
clio, defrocked Alabama priest, to
fill hall in Pittsburgh, were cited
as examples to prove that where
there is no advance warning" no
public protests to stimulate in
terest, hate agitators fail to at
tract an audience.
Another argument frequently
brought up is that mass demon
STATIONS such as picketing may
unwittingly help the anti-Semite
accomplish exactly what he has
set out to do. Such has been the
case recently in a number of cities
where Communist front groups,
eager to beat the drum for their
own purposes, sent pickets and
hecklers against the anti-Semite.
The latter, assuming the martyr
role, need only point to them to
"prove" his allegation that all
Jews are Communists, thus auto
matically raising himself from the
ranks of mere Jew-baiter to the
role of crusader for Americanism.
COnceding that unruly counter
demonstrations, often by disreput-
able groups, may play into the
hands of glib hate peddlers, speak
ers at the NCRAC's plenary SEES
sion nevertheless warned against
an attitude of complete detach-
ment in cases of anti-Semitic &C
tivities.
DR.. Alexander Pekelis, of the
American Jewish Congress, sug'
gested legal action and group
sanctions against agitators. A
statute outlawing lies would b.
no more difficult to administel
than collective bargaining agree
ments or the Federal Trade Com
mission statutes, he said.
He pointed out that the prose
cution and conviction of Smith ir
the Chicago courts was won or
grounds that he had uttered
series of improper statements
which had a tendency of preaching
the peace.
Another speaker, Mr.. Richard f.
Gutstadt, pointed out the need
for evaIuating the Importance OF
the various hate agitatOrs. "The
