Q.-What happened to Babylon,

A.-The cities of Mesopotamia

of the Euphrates River combined
with two thousand years of sand

but completely destroyed. No doubt
the woodwork was burned, but the

largely of sun-dried brick, simply
went back into mounds of earth.

Yet, it is here, in these in
dustries and businesses, that great
economic power exists in the
United States-and the Jews have
nothing to do with them.
Where then is this vast" eco
nomic power of the Jews? Not
in the the manufacturing end OF
light industry. Not in wool, nor
silk, nor rayon weaving.
Not perdominantly in retailing
not in the 5 and 10 cent store
chains, nor the food-and-grocery
field (nor the mail order business
nor the drug store chains.
AS an earlier FORTUNE report
stated, There is no basis what
ever in the suggestion that Jews
monopolize U. S, business and
indsutry."
It is obvious where tn emyth OF
Jewish economic power comes
from. 1t comes from anti-Semit-
ic propagandists who, for their
own political ends, have long
sought to bestir hatred against 3
small religious minority in this
country.
Honesty and intelligence com

Public Asked TO Cooperate
With Postoffice

Despite repeated reports by
the Post Office Der artment that
the regular daily mail volume is
taxing the facilities of all post
Offices and that Christmas gifts
and cards must be mailed even
earlier than last year if delivery
for Christmas is to be assured,
statistical records show that on
ly about 300 Of the known vol
ume to be deposited this year
has been taken in at the local
postofflces of Greater Boston.
Some idea of the tremendous
increase in daily parcel post
mailings was offered by Post
master Patrick ]. Connolly when
he advised that more than 100,-
600 sacks Of parcels were re-
ceiyed in November of this year
were handled locally in Novem-
ber of 1916, OCTOBER figures even
exceeded that amount.
Weather conditions across the
country during the past two
weeks have not favored the
movement Of mail and the local
snowfall expected before Christ
mas will further hamper the
collection, transportation and
delivery of mail. This is an en-
ergency postal condition and the
postof1ice can prevent congeS-
ton only if the public will CO.
operate. Every bit Of Christmas
mail must be deposited by Sat-
urday, December 13.
Air mail, special delivery and
special handling services must
be utilized to the maximum by
the public for parcels and cards
destined for distant points. Pos
tai officials further emphasized
that, practically the same num-
ber of landings are required for
mail to be delivered locally as
for Western and Southern
States. The fact that your
Christmas carGS may all be ad-
dressed for delivery in Greater
Boston does not eliminate or
simplify the distributions. 1t
should be further considered
that urgent business mail and
/. personal correspondence must
be moved promptly by the post
office.
1t is recommended that all
Christmas Cards be sealed and
that 3-cent stamps be affixed in
order that such mail may be
forwarded, when necessary, or
returned to sender if delivery
cannot be provided This will
eliminate thousands of such
cards going to the Dead Letter
Office. A duplicate address in

TUNE Survey, the old allegation
that Americans of Jewish faith
have a lot of economic power still
has some currency.
It is so silly to make this
charge because, even if 1t were
true, it would be meaningless as
a cause for bias against Jews.
For it would indicate only that
the general prosperity, high rate
of employment, and great indus
trial capacity of the nation could
be attributed to group OF AM
ericans whose religion is Jewish.
We know, however, that free en-
terprise invites the members Of
every religion to participate in
the industrial and commercial life
of the country and that, as a mat
ter of fact, business is represent
ed by men of many faiths.
But, speaking for the record,
it IS ridiculous to assert that our
American citizens of Jewish faith
have great economic power. If
the power exists, where is it con-
centrated? Not in finance GER

How thankful all Americans

our country the basic principle
of separation of state and
