Mr.. IsacsOn's Passport

The State Departments refusal to grant pass

country and this on the record is the purpose of the
conference which Mr. Isacson proposed to attend The
democratic Greece in question is the Greece of the
guerrias who attempting, with Communist aid,
to overthrow the present Greek Government. This
Government is not perfect but it does stand as an
obstacle against the Russians taking Greece as
they took Czechosovakia and it does offer the
hope of progress in the direction of democracy.
If Mr.. Isacson had been permitted to go to Paris

countrymen and against the findings of commission

Instead, the conversation covered
the Italian elections. John l.. Lew

That Greed and Initiation Are Brothers
(Collier's)

AS the nationwide discussion of initiation RACES
along unchecked by the memory of the big commodity
market breaks in February, get and more
bored by the frequent claim that business in general
is charging extortonae prices and sweating aXorbtant
profits out of domestic market for goods.
What bores us that those who peddle this accu-
sation always imply that everybody else in the United
States-workers, farmers, etc, etc.is being as I'M
selfish and sanity the late Mahatma Gandi
That is the merest bunk, hooey, horsefeathers,
The fact is that perhaps 95 per cent of in position
to do so have concentrated getting while the
getting is good. Labor leaders have goaded their fol-
lowers into demands for wage hike after wage hike
and most of the followers have been happy to be
goaded. Farmers have held back grain and livestock
for still higher prices White-collar workers have
honed for pay increases professional people have jack
ed up fees. If business has done likewise-and no
doubt some concerns haye-it has had plenty of COM
pany in its infamy
Let's just quit kidding ourselves and looking for
scapegoats The truth that this initiation result
of the and that the greed of tens of millions of
us has helped to stimulate it, Why cloud thinking
by trying to dodge that fact?

American Jewish
History
BY DAVID SCHWARTZ

Agency, Inc.)


the current publications cites a
remark of the late Prof. Channin
to the effect that the history of no
group in America is less ade-
quately reported than that of the
American Jews.
Chanin was one Of the greatest
of American historians and he was
no Jew. What he said, therefore,
may be taken without discounting.
Prof. Channin is not the only
nOn-JeW who felt this way. / re-
call when the National Dictionary
of Biography was being compiled,
how eager DIR. Johnson, the editor,
was to get the biographies of
important Yiddish-speaking fig
ures. These men, he said, are as
much part of the American
scene as Carl Schurz, about whom
we hear SO much. Johnson glOried
in some of the individualisms and
QuaintneSscs of some of the East
Side leaders. He wanted to ideH-
tify them completely with Amer
lea, and yet know that most of
these biographies were presented
by the Jewish writer's with hest
fancy. They did not know wheth-
er they were wanted. 1t was the
old Jewish inferiOrity complex.
The whole story of the great Rus
sian Jewish immigration into this
country around 1880, and in later
years, will some day be regarded
as a very important chapter of
general American history, not
alone of American Jewish history.
That period is closed and yet very
little has been done toward reduc-
ing it to history. Twenty-Five
years later, it will be much more
difficult to do this job. To get a
picture of the teeming East Side
for instance in the days when
Abe Conan arrived, and such a
literary figure as VIM. Dean How
ellis was intrigued by that section,
is in fact already difficult.
One could go back to the earli-
est days of our country and find
the same cause for complaint. It
is fact that on colonial America
the Jews of Newport were the
chief manufacture of spermecetti
oil. It was the Rhode Island Jew
who first introduced the manu-
facture of this Oil from the whale
All Americans know, from their
history as we'll as from their fic-
ton, the Importance of whaling
in early American life. The great
classic of Melville, "Moby Dick"
is a story about whaling. Yet
how few know the intimate details
of how American Jews were con-
nected with the whaling industry
The spermecetti Whale-oil was re-
garded as the best of the illumin-
ating oils. The Newport Jews not
only manufactured it for America,
but had a large export business
in it. One of the British his
torians says the beginning of the
use of spermecetti whale-oil was
the greatest factor in reducing
hold-ups and other crimes in the
streets of London. With the light
ing of the London thoroughfare
by this oil, thugs who waylaid
people found it more difficult to
operate.
The general topic of Jewish eX-
port and import trade in the CO.
IOnial days has not been explored
or dealt with. Newport was the
leading export city in colonial
America and Newport Jews were
heavily engaged in the export

.Clevelanders Give World Champs
 Noisy Welcome
(BY Larry Smith)

CLEVELAND, (P) - Baseb a II happy Cleevlanders staged the biggest and loudest demonstra- tion in the city's history yesterday asthe world champion Indians were welcomed back from Boston.
 The entire city let go with a bombardment of music, flowers, cheers and applause as the Indians were driven up historic Euclid avenue from the terminal in Pub lie Square to University Circle, a 10-mile route.
 The avenue was streWn with roses and confetti, early morning traffic was tied in happy, howl ing knot of humanity.
 Traffic commissioner John R. Sammon said it was the biggest celebration he could remember. He estimated the crowd that jammed into Public Square at 100000 and said at least another 50,00O lined the street as the motorcade moved out the avenue.
