Charges Army Personnel
Sometimes Favors
Germans Over DPS

GENEVA (JPS)-Dr. Carl ].
Hambro, of Norway, addressing
the U. NJ Economic and Social
Council here last week, charged
that United States military per-
sonnet in Germany sometimes ap-
peared to forget that the Ger
mans, not the DPS, were their
enemies.
Speaking in connection with
report on repatriation and reset
tlement prepared for the Council
under his direction, DR.. Hambro
stressed that the displaced per-
sons were hated and vilified by
the Germans to such an extent
that made their absorption into
the German community unthink-
able. Scoring the practice of most
governments in placing numerous
restrictions and conditions on the
admission of new immigrants, DR..
Hambro warned that some $1,000
victims of Nazi persecution may
be condemned to spend the rest of
their lives in DIP camps.

War Exposes British
Exaggerations of Arab
Population in Palestine

TEL AVN (JPS)-The statisti-
cal bottom was knocked out from
under the former Mandatory Gov
ernment's policy in Palestine with
the numerical proof that the Arab
population of Palestine never
numbered more than $4,000 and
possibly no more than 100000 in
stead of the million and a quarter
listed in the Mandatory'S census.
This proof, given by Leo Kaufman,
writing in Davar, is based on a
tally of Arab refugees from Israeli
territory as reported by Sir Ra-
phael Cilento, head of the u. N.
Social Service Department, and
the latest statistics on Arab popu-
lation in exclusively Arab areas
put out by the former Mandatory
administration,

children urged to drink from the
wine goblet over which the Cantor
maks "Kiddush" on the synagogue
on Friday night:
ANSWER: The reason for this
has to do with the reason for the
"Kiddush' in the synagogue. Act
ually the "Kiddush' belongs in the
home as an introduction to the
Sabbath meal and should be recit-
ed at the place of the meal. How
eyer, because there may be some
traveller in the synagogue, who
may already have eaten, or who
may not have place to "make
Kiddush," the cantor recites the
"Kiddush" in his behalf.
Now, there is a Jewish law that
one may not eat before the "Kid-
dush" is recited at the meal. The
cantor, who has yet to recite the
"Kiddush' in his home, and who
only -recites it in the synagogue
for the benefit of others, is there
fore not allowed to drink the wine.
Since a blessing has not been
made over it, it must be consumed
and so the small children, not yet
of age to be bound to law, are
given the wine to drink.

Canadian Growers
Get Half What
Americans Do

Canadian cattle growers are
not getting the impressive prices
for their stock that Americans
are. according to George Rob-
erts of Calgary. who was in
Browning Wednesday.
He showed receipts issued him
by Stake & Treanor, livestock
commission agents of Calgary.
with whom he marketed stock,
which quoted $S.75 per cwt. for
two cows; SIPS per cwt. for two
two-year-old heifers. and $ll per
cwt. for four calves.
AS compared with prices of
American markets, Roberts said,
returns Appropriated one-half
Of what he would have gotten
had he sold at Shelby or other
yards this side of the border.
Other prices in Canada are not
consistent as to give cattlemen
the breaks, he said. For in
stance, though what they get for
cattle on the hoof is down, what
they pay for steak in the Can
adian restaurant is high. An av-
erage steak, he said, is 81. That
is not a great deal lower than the
same steak in the average Ameri-
can restaurant. he commended.
The situation, he said, is due
to Canadian government controls
which seek to avert initiation,
the failure being in the policy
not providing a horizontal con-
troll holding everything at con-
sistent price levels.
