Germany Ready to Collect (Not Pay) Reparations
By NATHAN ZIPRIN
PECULIAR SITUATION is developing in Germany.
El Special taxes are being levied there in order to
"equalize the burdens" the war has caused and to
compensate those who suffered dam-
ages. Unless the Allies assert them-
selves, foreigners, including Nazi vic-
tims who have property in Germany,
and Israel, will be taxed.
Thus Germany, instead of paying,
would collect reparations while Italy
has readily agreed to the proper ar-
rangements. I owe this information to
Dr. Bruno Weil, the president of the
League of Axis Victims.

PRESIDENT VARGAS of Brazil
Ziprin
has recently been reported as having signed an anti-
discrimination law making it a crime for hotels, schools
and other public places to refuse admittance to any
person because of race or color.
It is, indeed, amazing and a sign of our times that
such a law should have been necessary in Brazil. In
no country has white and red and black intermingled
as freely and continually as in Brazil.
Brazil knew no racial prejudices. It appeared to
have solved the racial problem. While Hitler preached

Joseph Jones, charter member
oaf the Lawrence Jones Post of
the Jewish War Veterans, is the
second Jew elected to the post of
Detroit district commander of
separation of races, Brazil followed the opposite doc-
trine.
During the last war, when the United States was
building airfields and other military installations • in
Brazil, racial prejudices were accentuated. Thus, at
least to some extent, the western democracies are re-
sponsible for fostering such prejudices on Brazil.
•
THE SITUATION in Austria is still more bizarre.
Recently American authorities there announced that
Nazis woo had been interned after the war would be
treated retroactively as prisoners of war and receive
90 cents daily for whatever work they performed.
Thus far the Nazi victims who had been inmates
of concentration camps have not yet been compensated
and every effort has been made at thwarting their
compensation.
Within the short span of six years the situation in
Germany has been completely reversed with regard
to Nazis. It is now an advantage to prove that one has
been a Nazi.
Those who were members of denazification courts
are now encountering difficulties when seeking employ-
ment and are often ostracized. Who actually won the
war?
PROF. MacIVER received $25,000 for his report on
Jewish community relation agencies. Ile had three or

announced by Ruth Kline, presi-

The children will participate in
the Jewish Community Center

The program, which has been
inaugurated this year, derives its
funds from the annual poppy

four assistants. It took the professor a whole year to
prepare the survey. Ile and his assistants had innumer-
able meetings with officials of Jewish defense agencies.
Leaders and officials of the defense agencies are dis-
playing a high degree of nervousness over the report.
Gabriel Flammer of the Jewish Agency has gone
to Israel with three accountants for three months. Ile
wants to overhaul the bookkeeping system of the Jew-
ist. Agency in Israel.
Arab politicians are quite disturbed and resentful
over the fact that Israel may get $25,000,000 for eco-
nomic and $20,000,000 for military purposes.

ONE OF THE FINEST pictures ever to come out
of Israel is "Tent City," written and produced by
Baruch Dienar, and now being scheduled for United
Jewish Appeal and United Palestine Appeal meetings
throughout the country.
The film, which depicts the story of the adjustment
to life in Israel of Jewish immigrants from European
and Moslem countries, was produced under very trying
conditions.
One of the principal players—Nissim Habbib, an
Iraqi Jew—who portrayed the part of the grandfather,
had never before seen a movie. his greatest source of
surprise was the filming of a Sabbath sequence on 'a
Thursday. By all means, don't miss this excellent movie!
