After nearly 1000 years of dispersion, the Jews
now have their own land-Israel, an irregular seq
ment of Palestine which itself is only about %
miles wide in the north 80 miles wide in the
south and which stretches for about 140 miles
along the Mediterranean.
Here some 100000 Jews are living in cities,
towns, in settlements and farms, submerging

What is the type of land which these people
are defending?

the vast desert wastes of the Negeb. In these
green areas, the Jews have orchards OF vine and
almond and orange, broad fields of barley and
wheat, gardens planted with lentils, peas, beans,

". Averell Hartman Has
Business Background
to Match Job
By Siqrid Arne

Men on both sides-whether Re-
publican or Democratic make
pleased remarks about the country
having a man as we'll prepared for
his new job as w. Averell Hartman.
The size of the job was what had
worried people.
Mr.. Hartman is headed for Paris
to run the European end OF the
Marshall Plan. He must see that
more than $4,000, 100000 q year is
put to work where it can do the
most good for the 270,000,000 peo-
pie in Western Europe.
His title is United States Special
Representative in Europe for the
Economic Cooperation Administra-
ton. He has the rank of Ambassa-
dor.
Few Americans have run enter
prises large enough to prepare them
for such a job. Fewer still have
had Government service to boot.
Mr.. Hartman has had both. Be-
fore he entered the Government,
back in the '30s, he had run the
Union Pacific Railroad; he had
built up shipping company; he
had started a brokerage house
which is still in business. For many
years he has worked on high Gov
eminent policy. and through the
war most of the top secrets flowed
over his desk. AS far as he is con-
cerned. they're still top secrets.
Unanimous Approval
For those reasons, and others, the
Senate committee which approved
his appointment. INDUCED in little
talk about it, and okayed him unan-
imously.
Most of his work in the Govern
ment has been with European and
Russian leaders. Much of it has
been concerned with commerce and
supplies. In March, 194l, he few

the attitudes of many of the men
with whom he must now deal again
In 1941, when plenty of military
experts thought the Russians would
fold, leaving the Germans free to
turn on the west, Mr. Hartman
was among the first to say the
Russians would fight on. He had
taken several quick flights by that
time to talk with the embattled
Russians. He got along with them.
So in october, 1943, he was ap-
pointed Ambassador to Moscow.
He Immediately made the Ameri-
can Embassy hum. He decided tc
know as many of the Russian lead
ers as possible. and to know them
we'll. He gave huge parties and went
to them. He asked for a long series
of interviews with all the top men
in the Russian capital. He has
probably talked with Stain more
than any other man from the
western world.
He knows not only the leaders,
but also the fine shades of political
power that attaches to each name.
Admired by Russians
His work won him Russian ad-
miration. When he was reassigned,
in 1916, to the American Embassy
at London, Russian leaders pub
licly wished him well.
In his first years in Moscow, he
believed that a peace could be
worked out between the Russian
and American systems. He coun-
seled patience. But even before the
war ended he had doubts. He flew
to San Francisco, when the nations
met to form the United Nations. to
counsel the United States delegation
to stand firm.
Now he has said publicly that
Russia is "a dangerous force"

Lows Against Robbery One-Sided
Thieves Say

Maybe the 81s Congress should start using lie detect
ors on some of lobbyists when they start campaigning
against repeal of the Taft-Hartley Act
There were some whoppers about the Wagner Labor
Relations Act for example, that the 8Oth Congress swallow
ed as gospel.
Probably the biggest was the glib statement that the
Wagner Act is one-Sided That like most successful
lies, useful because 1t was hall true
The Wagner Act E one-sided but are all laws that
protect citizens in their rights. .
Take the laws against robbery They protect the ctH
ems property whether it's the shirt his back his home
or his business used to have to fight to protect his
personal property he had any But folks decided IL was
in interest to prevent such STRIFE and decided
protect the right of private property by law Ihe laws
against robbery don't protect the burglar You could say
they one-sided.
In the Wagner Act Congress decided to protect the
right of working men and to join unions of their own
choosing and to bargain collectively with their employer
In theory this right existed before the Wagner Act But
so long as an employer was free fire any employee who
chose that right it didn't mean very much Most Ia
Dor relations governed by the law of the jungle
Any oldtmer will tell you that the strikes to WIN re-
cogntion of the union always the btteres In the old
days when employer in, he didn't necessarily
have to bargain in good faith o1ten ne stalled around m
til could plant his agents inside the union or form cap
tive company union that would settle on any terms the COM
pany proposed
All this helped to keep wages low that
lacked the purchasing to buy the goods produced in
our factories and farms. 1t OF the big factors
that busted the boom in 1929.
BY 1886 most people had decided that collective bar
gaining through trade unions to help main
tain balance between wages prices and profits
To encourage collective bargaining on a broad SCALE
Congress decided that the Government should protect the
right the wage to organize that 1T would insist
that all employers bargain in good faith once their employees
Joined union. The Wagner Act did that and no more.
The Wagner Act does NOT take sides with the union at
bargaining table 1t does not what employer must
agree to- The terms of the bargain depend on the economic
strength of the union and the skill Of its negotaors 1T
should. ~
The Wagner Act which protects the right of collective
bargaining onesded than the law which protect
the right Of private property An intelligent Congress ought
not to need lie detector to fgure that out
