Stocks Follow Weekly Pattern
OF Upward With Little Pouses

One broker said he found no
signs of internal weakness in the
market but he felt that some
unexpected piece Of news could
knock the market OF its feet
with little trouble.
Stocks this week, however,
gave no sign Of faltering seri-
ously. Individual issues re-
sponded Immediately to favor
able developments, and whole
sections Of the market moved
ahead when the background
suited that action.
However, an air Of caution
persisted. Volume dropped to a
daily average 1,830.000 shares
compared with last weeks daily
average Of 2,145.000 shares. This
weeks daily average was the
lowest in nearly three months
The five most active issues
this week on the New York
Stock Exchange were: Packard.
up h at AZ on 177.600 shares;
Boeing up " at 437s; Canadian
Pacific up 27s at 27A: Lockheed

July %. 1854
Mr.. Isadore Moscovitz, Editor
The Southern Jewish Weekly
Jacksonville, Florida.
Dear Sir:
I was. interested in Alfred
Segal's column of the July End
issue, because the subject of it is
more important than is generally
realized. I wrote a long letter to
the N. Y. Herald Tribune on this
subject in 1913 which was widely
reprinted; copies of it were asked
for by numerous Gentiles, includ-
ing members of the Congress-,
ministers, and so forth. In addi-
ton, I know of several rabbis who
used the letter as the basis for a
sermon.
Briefly, this was the argument:
The essence of Zionism, the basic
reason for the building of the
Jewish State, was to solve the
Jewish Problem by removing the
confusion which had developed
because of the unnatural political
position of the Jew among the
other peoples of the world. In
America, for instance, there are
Il am speaking now in 1948)
American citizens of Irish stock of
Catholic religion; there are Amer
lean citizens of Arab stock of
Mohammendan religion. We. how
ever, who would likewise prefer
to be American citizens of Hebrew
stock of Jewish religion, find our
selves in a confused situation.
Whereas the others are sometimes
referred to as IriSh-Americans,'
'German-Americans' and Arab
Americans we are referred to as
American Jews not as Jewish
Americans or as Hebrew-Ameri-
cans The difference is that all
others, if they are referred to by
this double term, may use term
in which the second word, the
word of logical emphasis, is the
word American; in our case the
emphasis is on the word Jew 1t
indicates that in the public mind
our Jewishness is more important
than our Americanness. This may
be trivial point; yet when it was
proposed casually by Fritz Kuhn
in 1888 that Americans of German
origin should refer to themselves
as 'American-Ge a terrific
protest was registered immediate
ly by Judge Oberwager, president
of the largest organization of
Americans of German origin-See
the N. Y. Times and all other
principal newspapers of the day.
His point was that the moment he
became known as an American
German he would become Sec
ond-class citizen-a German with
American citizenship, rather than
an American of German stock. He
saw the point at once. Our Jews
did not see it for a century.
Why are, or were, we Jews in
this singular position? Because
(remember I am still in 1948 or
1947, I forget when the article
was written) the Irishman, the
German, the Arab, who was now
an American citizen could point
to Ireland, Germany or some Arab
country, and say, Over there is
my racial homeland; I chose to
come to America, to drop my
Irish citizenship, to become an

Atomic War-Total War

THE country's first nationwide civil de
Tense drill against atomic attack was
recently carried out successfully. From
President Dwight d. Eisenhower on down,
responsible officials in the larger cities
went to underground shelters as the red
warnings signals flashed in various parts
Of the country.
The somber significance of this first
nationwide drill may be lost to some in
small cities and rural communities. But
it is estimated by authorities that an at
tack Of the kind for which the rehearsal
was staged would have killed quarter of
million Americans and would have in ur
ed perhaps twelve million t. S. citizens.
One does not need to study these figures
long to realize what twelve million casual
ties would mean. 1t would mean a casualty
among ever fourteen Americans, as the re-
suit OF one atomic air raid. Cities such as
New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston,
San Francisco, and many others, would

Trained L. S. Diplomats

A major reorganization Of the Depart
mcnt of State was announced recently
in Washington. A committee, headed by DR..
Henry NJ. Wriston, President Of Brown
University. made study of the State De-
partmcnt and Foreign Service Of the Unit
ed States and recommended the following
changes
|. The creation Of a new recruiting
service for foreign service officers, which
would include a program of scholarships
Tor college students in L. S. universities.
,. Expansion of the foreign service to
d size almost double the present l.300-man

3. Reorganization Of the present For
eign Service Institute so that the institute
might serve as a training school for foreign
service officers.
These changes. if adopted by Congress,
would tend to make the L. s Foreign Serv-
ice more of professional organization
There has long been criticism of the United
States State Department and its foreign
service personnel on the ground that L. s.
diplomats were amateurs lacking life
long training compared with diplomats
Of other countries.
In sense this criticism is justified. In
Britain there is'a system of training for
eign service personnel which has worked

Wheat Surplus

The latest Department Of Agriculture
estimates predict that this years wheat
output will be about 1,000000000 bushels.
The present surplus is Approximately 875,-
100000 bushels, and it is estimated that at
least l00,000,00o bushels Of this years
crop will be AIDED to the surplus, thus
making the surplus almost as large as the
years crop.
The effect Of the new policies on the
wheat farmer is likely to be noticeable in
many cases, since an acreage reduction
will have direct effect and because OF the
uncertainty Of price supports. If both
these factors work against the wheat farm
er, the effect Of the policies will become a

Senator Jenkins of Tennessee?

though it may win the support Of pTo-Mc
Carthy forces.
AS far as we are concerned, Jenkins role
in the teevsed committee hearings does
not qualify him to sit as [. S. Senator.
OF course, he could have had those qualiti-
cations before he became counsel of the
committee But his job as counsel on the
committee in recent weeks does not give
him sufficient legislative experience, nor
necessarily proved his capabilities, for
membership in the Y. S. Senate We suspect
that if Jenkins campaign is based upon
his role as counsel on the committee he
may find that Insufficient
