The commission said the indus

ceptionally high rate of progress
during April, May and June, but
emphasized that trade was far

Europe's adverse balance of

totaled 1861 ,000, 900 in the second

Big Slump in Europe, ,
Balance Of Trade
By the Assoeioisd Press

GENEVA, Switzerland. Oct. 20
The United Nations Economic
Commission for Europe reports
that a favorable European pro-
duction record in the second
quarter of 1949 was overshadowed
by alarming deterioration in Eu-
ropes balance of trade with the
rest of the world.
The industrial recovery of West
ern Germany has virtually come
to a standstill" and Belgium,
Switzerland and the Scandinavian
nations all showed a decline in in
dustrial output due to lack of de-
mand. the commission reported in
a quarterly survey released re-
GENTLY. Il
The British-led sterling areas
gold and dollar deficit is "one of
the most critical features Of Eu-
ropes current economic situa-
tion," the commission said. Major
adjustments appear to be neces-
sary If the - deficit is to be
eventually eliminated"
The commission warned that
Britain may lose the advantages
of the recent devaluation of the
pound sterling from $4.03 to $3.50
unless she severely limits her own
exports to the sterling area. The
commission indicated it consid-
cred drastic cuts in the dollar i'm
ports of sterling countries other
than the United Kingdom were
necessary to reduce the sterling
areas overall deficit.
Deficit Up 50 Per Cent.
The area is made up Of the
British Commonwealth nations
with the exception of Canada, a
dollar country-and Iceland, Iraq,
Ireland and Burma.
The survey showed that the
United Kingdoms dollar deficit
rose by about so per cent. from
$442, 900 900 in 1898 to $665. .000.-
900 in 1948, while the correspond
ing deficit of the rest of the
sterling area rose by more than
$50 per cent. from $83. .000, 900 in
1888 to $542, ,000, 900 in l94s.
"The magnitude Of the shifts
which have occurred in the gold
and dollar payments of the ster-
ling area (outside the United
Kingdom indicates that a solu-
ton to the problem may have to
include considerable reduction in
the dollar expenditures of these
countries" the report said.
THE extremely low level at
which imports into the United
Kingdom from the United States
and Canada have been held since
the war indicates that further re-
ductions here would offer at best
only very limited possibilities Of
dollar saving. Attention therefore
needs to be centered on the great
ly expanded postwar volume Of
imports from North America into
other sterling area countries"
To Divert Import Demands.
The devaluation Of sterling will
divert some Of the import de-
mands OF the overseas sterling
countries from North America to
the United Kingdom, the report
said, but this entails certain
risks" for the United Kingdom.
Under present conditions Of
full employment and active home
demand in the United Kingdom" +"
the survey said, ut cannot be as

the second quarter. in almost
balancing trade between East and
West Europe. Previously the
balance had been greatly in favor
of the Eastern countries.
Under the heading: Economic
Stagnation in Western Germany"
Evening star., 1949-10-20

the survey declared that "the
failure Of Western Germany's in
dustrial recovery to carry through
was one Of the most important
features of the economic situation
in Europe in the first half Of
1949."
Unemployment in Western Ger

ing the summer months, when .

expected, the survey said.
The Phoenix Jewish news., 1949-12-09

common for Jewish children in the
Yemen to marry at that age, in
order to prevent their being
snatched from their homes and
forcibly converted to Islam.
Life at that corner of Arabia
has not been easy for the Jews.
Once, over 1000 years ago, when
they first came to that part of the
world, they were highly respected
for their intelligence and their
gracious manners. And for several
centuries they lived a prosperous
life, very closely identified with
their religion and with the Jews of
Palestine.
Then Mohammedanism came to
the Yemen, and with it came the
covenant of the Prophet, which
degraded the status of the Jews to
second class citizenship. 1t was de-
creed that they must walk always
to the left of a Moslem; they were
forbidden to ride donkeys or
horses; they could not plead in
court against a Moslem.
The passing of the years, far
from improving their lot, subjected
them to further degradations. In
the capital, Sana'a, said to have
been founded by Noah, Jews were
made to clean the city latrines
and when at one time they dared
to go on strike, the elders of the
Jewish community were forced to
take their place.
Small wonder, then, that several
thousand Yemenite Jews left their
homes and went to Palestine, even
in the early days of colonization.
But the real exodus did not be-
gin until the state of Israel was
born. Since that historic moment,

QUESTION: What is the reason
for the ninth candle on the Hanuk-
kah Menorah?
ANSWER: The ninth is tradi-
tionally known as the "Shammash"
which means the attendant" Most
sources claim that it's inception
came from a traditionally legal
background. Technically, no light
or benefit in personal sense was
to be derived from the Hanukkah
lights since they were regarded as
holy subjects, above the realm of
material things.

Chanukah Milestone

All over Israel and in Jewish communities throughout
the world will be something special in the way of
celebration this coming Chanukah Week (Dec 15 to 22)
For Israel passed the million mark in population
The latest figure to be exact is 1156000 To the rest
of the world that may only another statistic But to
us it is an almost incredible achievement 1t than
twice the Jewish population of Palestine 10 years ago.
Recently in an interview with The New York Times,
Prime Minister David Ben Guron said II do not think of
Jews as being the chosen people. But we have dream
to build civilization in this country knowing that this
country occupies special place in world history, which
will free of the evils of time. must be civliza-
tion based the teachings of prophets and the
strength of modern science When say prophets, mean
the ethics of their teachings; when say science mean

the centuries and came to be dear
ly loved by all Jews.
The lighting Of special lights for
Chanukah, for example, is not
mentioned in the Books of the
Maccabees, but was first referred
to some two centuries later by the
historian, Josephus. Yet the cere-
mony is now closely connected with
the holiday, and the beautiful
prayers which accompany it give
the holiday added meaning.
Similarly, the winged top known
as dreidel was not originally a
Chanukah symbol, but is now tied
to the festival by the letters on it's
four sides: Mes Godol Hoyoh
Shom"-A great miracle happened
there"
Even the very youngest chill
dren find joy in Chanukah, with
its games, it's traditional pancake
delicacies and, most of all, its ex-
change of gifts. In my childhood
we all received "Chanukah gelt''-
which was later carefully put in
the bank for day of future need.
Today's youngsters receive the
more tangible pleasures of electric
trains and magic-skin dolls.
But it is all one. They will have,
as we had also, wonderful mem
ories of the gay festival. They will
be glad-and one day, proud-to
be Jews, to have descended from
the brave Maccabees, who fought
for their freedom against crushing
odds, and with Gods help were
victorious.
