Ghost Rubber City

Today, however Manaos, the rub
Der capital of Latin America, has
become ghost city-after a Brit
isher struggled seeds of the rub
Der plant to Ceylon.
Gradually the British-Dutch rub
Der cartel built up its markets in
the US.A., and once they attained
a monopoly position, they put the
price squeeze on the American con-
sumner Despite the vigorous protests
of Charles Evans Hughes when Sc
cretary of State, we paid what the
Asiatic rubber cartel wanted us and
paid through the nose.
After Pearl Harbor we began
frantically to encourage our good
neighbors in Latin America to grow
rubber again. Brazil, Mexico, Ec-
uador, Costa Rico, Venezuela, Sal
vador, Nicaragua, Haiti, Honduras
all were urged to grow rubber, re-
gardless of cost. Loud were the
cries also: This will never hap
pen again"
However, it is happening again
In October 1947 American delegates
at the Geneva economic confer
ence agreed to give up about two
thirds of the American rubber mar
ket to Asiatic rubber. chiefly Brit
ish controlled. This meant two
things:
/. The complete collapse of the
new rubber industry we had en-
couraged in Latin America.
2. The closing of various synthetic
rubber plants in the U.S.A. SOME
of these plants. having been closed

prices by surplus property admins

merely following national policy
Meanwhile, though we are mucf
better off when it comes to syn
thetic rubber, we would have II
have rubber rationing all over agair
if war came.
Meanwhile also, Communism ha'
been growing at our own from
Latin-American door-because o
unemployment and curtaiied econ

Senator Long Tom" Connally of
Texas, in addition to helping steer
U. S. foreign policy, is never too
busy to fight for the little fellow.
He is now about to win an import
ant financial victory for American
doughboys in Korea.
On October 81, Senator Connally
spotted an item in the Washington
Merry -Go-Round which read
Under the current Army pay
system the real heroes in the Kor-
can war are drawing the least pay.
They don't even get fair share of
the glory when the publicity and
medals are dished out.
These unsung heroes are in
fantrymen, who form the ,Army's

paid as much as the technical men
and pencil pushers behind the lines.

for combat work. If they wore
the combat infantryman's badge,
it was good for $40 monthly bon
us. However, even this has been
taken away from them in Korea"
Senator Connally clipped the col
umn and sent it to the Army, to-
I gether with a letter wanting to
know why combat men were being
Disseminated against. He has now
received a letter from the Army
indicating that it would urge $50
bonus monthly for combat enlisted
men, with 500 a month for officers.
What the Army told Senator
Connally in summary follows:
THE Department of the Army
recognizes the plight of the infant
ryman who in past wars and in the
Korean operation have borne the
brunt of the fighting. We intend
to do everything possible to give
the deserved recognition and COM
pensation to those combat fighters
upon whom the success of all our
military efforts ultimately depends.
From the standpoint of extra
compensation for the combat fight
er, the Army has prepared and sub
mitted to the Department of De-
! Tense proposal to ask Congress for
| extra pay for each month of COM
bat duty in Korea. The Department
!, of Defense has indicated consid-
cradle interest and we anticipate
early submission of the proposal
to Congress"

The Miracle Of Chanukah
By DAVID SCHWARTZ

There is a legend that when Judas Maccabeus
entered the Temple after vanquiShing the forces
of Antiochus, he found only little cruise of oil,
sufficient for day. but it lasted for eight days.
The real miracle of Chanukah, of course, was the
one we mention in our Chanukah prayers,
namely, that small forces defeated superior
numerical forces.
There is lot about miracles in Judaism, and
yet Judaism was always essentially hostile to
the miracle concept Many attempts made in
the Talmud to rationalize and explain them as
not contrary to nature. In that respect, the
fundamental spirit of Judaism was in harmony
with science.
But the belief in miracles nevertheless keeps
popping up. If a Benjamin Franklin could say
after the Revolutionary War; that he was con-
vinced that Divine Providence on several occa-
sions directly interviewed to aid the Americans,
we have its counterpart in a man like Weizmann,
man not of the synagogue but of the laboratory
who said that "a realist today must believe in
miracles" How else can it look to DR.. Weizmann,
when he saw 0O00 Palestine Jews stand their
ground against the whole Arab world?
Not so long ago, David Ben Gurion made
speech in which he left the implication that the
Jews might have regained Palestine many times
before. We know that Spinoza who was far
from being a devout Jew, thought such de-

velopment possible in his own day. A hundred
years ago. the American Major Mordecai Manuel
Noah, who was American consul in Tunis under
President Madison, spoke of a like possibility.
He had been in the Middle East and he said it
would be possible for the Oriental Jews to put
force of 100000 in the field.
Why didn't they do it? Essentially because
they had not made up their minds to do it.
They had notions that they had to wait for
some special appearance in the skies. Some had
figured out from the Book of Daniel, that the
time had not yet arrived.
Some said if Jewish state were established,
what would they do about an army? Jews, they
said could only fight for seats in schulz on Rosh
Hashonah. I remember a cartoon in a Jewish
paper Two Jews fighting another and
a Jewish policeman is asked to intervene. He
stands aloof and replies "Ich misch sich nscht in
fremde gesheften." Il don't interfere in any
ones business).
Some went so far as to wonder if we did have
police force what would do for crime?
Where would we get the Jewish criminals? l
remember Dr. Schmaryahu Levin the great
Zionist orator, some years ago returning from
Palestine and boasting, mir haben shcoen die
ferd ganovim. Es fehlt nur die ferd." eve

House Unit Approves
Sf4 Million Airport

The House Commerce Committee
today approved and sent to the
House floor for action legislation
to authorize $14 million civilian
airport for the Washington Metro
politan Area.
The full committee acted swift,
after the bill was approved yester-
day by a subcommittee headed by
Representative Beckworth, Demo
crat, of Texas.
The measure. now ready fol-
House action, already has passed
by the Senate.
The Senate bill, sponsored by
Senator Johnson, Democrat OF
Texas was approved without
amendment by the House groups
TO speed the legislative process.
II any changes are made in the
House the bill will have to 90
to. conference.
Inc big civilian airport project
had been strongly indorsed by the
civil Aeronautics Administration
Inc new field is necessary, its
proponents contend because of
the air traffic congestion at Wash
ington's National Airport.
The CAA would be empowered
by the bill to select a site, con-
struct the airport and operate it
under the same procedures used
at National Airport.
