stantial aid, Europe will remain
a beggar continent for years to
come.
The second discouraging factor
One that seriously impedes the
Joint Distribution Committees re-
lief and reconstruction efforts for
EurOpe's Jews-is spiralling infIa-
ton that exists in country after
country. Prices are constantly
rising and the value of the dollar
is constantly falling. Today the
JDC is able to buy less with it's
dollar than it bought a year, or
even a month ago.
The third fact that impressed
me everywhere I went was the
size of the JDC program and the
unqualified Importance of the or
ganization in the lives of the L.
100000 Jewish survivors. The
JDC is the mainstay from the
cradle to the grave for hundreds
of Europe's Jews.
Actually, the JDC carries on a
dual program. There is a long
range, longtime program aimed
to rebuild Jewish life and the
emergency program of relieving
suffering and hardship wherever
possible. Perhaps the most urg-
ent situations exist in Germany,
Austria and Italy, where 25O,OOO
displaced Jews are living in the
camps and centers waiting for
opportunities to rebuild their lives
in other lands.
It is not question of food and
clothing. The displaced Jews have
thus far had their basic food re-
quirements. They have clothing,
but it is not good clothing. They
have shoes, even if they are often
torn and shabby. What should
concern us most about the dis
placed Jews is not their physical
condition, but the spiritual and
psychological deterioration result
ing from camp life.
Camp life is like prison life with
the added horror of an indetermin-
ate sentence. When a man goes
to Jail for a year or two with the
knowledge that he will be free
after he has served his allotted
time, he can keep up hope and
courage. But when mans stay
in displaced persons camp is of
indefinite duration, he becomes the
victim of what the criminOlOgists
call "prisOn psychology" In the
case of the displaced Jews this
state of mind is complicated by
the knowledge that they are in
nOcent of any crime against society
or against their fellow men.
Displaced Jews IN Germany,
Austria and Italy are sinking into
despair. At present all their hopes
for a decent future are centered
upon the recommendations of the
United Nations Special Committee
on Palestine. Regardless of the
politics of the decision, if favor
able recommendation on immigra-
ton is not forthcoming, if no
promise is held out to these people
that they are going to be able to
leave the camps, there will be ac-
tolerated Decentralization and I'M
speakable tragedy for people who
have already suffered too much
and too long.
