bill I introduced yesterday will
amount to an average wage increase
OF about four cents an hour and its
passage will also make available
large sums of venture capital for new
businesses.
BEST of all, its effects will be de-
f1ationary because it will lower one
of the big costs of production.
The bill would give tax cuts to all
the 54,500,000 taxpayers, ranging
from 10 per cent in the highest in
come brackets to 100 per cent in the
lowest income group.

However. Congress has provided

"A resolution giving such au.

WAR snashes moral standards as
w viciously as it levels cities. Where
economic and political life are disrupted,
the rules of decency. generosity and personal
dignity collapse. Substituted is kind of
moral anarchy which breeds perversion,
selfshness and crime.
Few escape being smeared by it. 1t affects
the young who know no better, and the old
who are beyond caring. Cynical men and
hungry women. The winner corrupted in
victory and the loser corrupted by de-
feat.
Hans Kleider, of Frankfurt. is one of the
losers. He is a 24-year old ex-paratrooper,
contemptuous of the life around him.

MORALS
The world has taken 50 much punishment
that nothing shocks it any more =.

Among the defeated, licentious mode of
life is not only common but sought after by
great sections of the people. On the famous
Kurfurstendamm in Berlin today, the lady,
of-the-evening is looked upon casually. She
is as much part of the scene as the ruins.
More than that she invites envy for her
attractive bearing, her better than ordinary
clothing, her artful makeup.
She and her sisters have one goal: to snag
an American, Frenchman. Russian or Briton
who will adopt them as mistresses.
A number of these women support fami-
lies with this trade. But most are young girls,
out of family control. whose sweethearts,
husbands or relatives we're war casualties.
The uncertainty of life and comfort has pro-
duced kind of quiet hysteria which de-
nlands an Immoral or amoral excitement as
compensation.
Against this kind of despair, the Ger
mans armor themselves with calIous-
ness. An Office worker on busy street can
pick up some fresh horse manure for his
garden, stick it in his briefcase and cause no
comment. Men with one leg, with no hands,
with starvation in their eyes can sit beg
ging, unnoticed. Robbery, theft and even
rape are barely resented by the people.
Rather, they expect it and risk it.
There's no real crime wave." says DR..

600 Jews still remain in the con-
centration camps built by Nazi
Germany.
Every Jew asks why this is
so. Why cannot a way be
found TO open up these camps.
to let free the Jewish people?
Second, Jews at prayer all over
the United States feel deeply the
injustice being done by the Eng
lish imperialists in Palestine.
Again Jews are killed in the city
of Tel Aviv. Again Jews are
suffering in the same manner as
when Hitler was in power.
>
THE HEARTS of the Jews are
filled with pain at the fate of the
4,40O Jews aboard the Exodus 1947,
who were refused entrance to
Palestine, who have been returned
to Nazi concentration camps.
Thoughts during the high holt
days center on the conditions

the communists directing the for
eign policy which violates demo-
cratic principles" That policy, he
said, sis being formulated and car
ried out by men whose essential
interests are quite different from
those of the average citizen"
Wallace then cited the big bust
ness connections of the men who
run the U. S. State and War
Depts.
"Under the Republicans" he
charged, ''Wau Street ran Amer
lea; under the present administra-
ton Wall Street is all set to run
the world"

of Jews all over the world, who
are seeking TO rebuild homes
destroyed by the Naxis in Poland.
Belgium. France. Czechoslo-
vakia. and all of Europe.
Even the fate of Jews in Greece
is under a question mark. There
they have been reduced to small
community. Unrooted, their lives
must be reconstructed.
THE JEWS in the synagogues
and temples are thinking at these
high holidays also about the dan
ger of war increased by war talk
spread by reactionaries, fascists
and profiteers. They more than
any other people on the globe
know that war means the destruc-
ton of their people.
Every reactionary period of hui
man history is rotten with hatred
and bigotry.
1t is important TO note that
there are. even among the Jews.
elements of reaction. elements
that are against unity among
the Jews themselves. as there
are among all other peoples of
the United States. These reac-
tionary elements help fascism.
They are a menace to Jewish
life.
But hope shines forth for the
Jewish people. Hope based on
the great masses Of people in the
United States that are fighting for
real democracy and. progress.
y
THE REAL interests of the Jew
ish people lie with those of pro-
gressive movements throughout
the world.
Hope lies in the fact that the
new democracies in Europe and
Russia fought TO bring the Pal
estine question before the United
Nations Security Council - in
the fact that some of the new
democracies have made anti
Semitism criminal act.
And Jews in the synagoguss and
temples were hoping that here !.
in the United States -. a law
will be adopted, making anti
Semitism a criminal act, as ex-
pressed in the Buckley Bill, and
the law, already adopted by the
state of Indiana on Feb. 81, 1947.
These are the thoughts of the
Jewish people during the high
holidays that will usher in the
calendar year 5708.

Speaking just one year after
he was forced out of Pres. Tru-
mans cabinet, the former Vice
President told more than 10000
listeners that Hoover's program
for rebuilding German industry
has become "the very core of our
entire program for European re-
construction"

Wallace declared, "the idea of re-

German industrialists and man.
agement class. American boys
did not fight and die to preserve
the interests of American bank
ing houses"
(Though strenuous efforts were
made by the Progressive Citizens
of America, which sponsored the
meeting, to broadcast the Wallace
speech, all major networks and
local stations refused to give him
time)
WALLACE HIT sharply at re-
dictionaries who he said use the
word communism" to "cover
every liberal idea The dis
tortion is becoming SO pronounced
that we are heading into a time
when it will be called American
to practice and preach hatred OF
races and religions and nations;
and Un-American to practice and
preach brotherhood and Christian
ity. The red-baiting of reaction
aries stems not from fear OF
communism but from fear of DEM
ocracy."
Pointing out that there is a real
communism and that he is among
those who don't believe in it.
Wallace cautioned his listeners to
remember that 1--WE can't suppress
ideas with force or legislation" and
/ that eff we believe it is impossible
to live in the world with com
munism, we are accepting the in
evitability Of suicidal war;
.Let us face the fact that ouI
crises are not brought on by the

people responsible for high prices

ity are the monopoly capitalists

moved the wartime controls
