Jews, Polish Guards
In Battle at Belsen

BERGEN-BELSEN, Germany.
(JTA)—Reports from London
that the Jews in the Bergen-Bel-
sen tamp for displaced persons
had gone on strike to protest an
alleged order instructing them to
move to new quarters were in-
correct, a Jewish Telegraphic
Agency correspondent who ar-
rived here . this week to check on
the status of the displaced Jews
was told.
What actually occurred was
that the camp was put under a
curfew following a wave of
crimes committed by Polish DPs.
The Jews, protesting that they
were in no way responsible for
the crimes, broke .the curfew and
clashed with Polish guards.
AccOrding to UNRRA camp di-
", rector W. R. Wheatman, a former
British army officer, the dis-
placed Poles will be transferred
to Brunswick to make room for
the British army's projected
training school at Belsen. UNRRA
officials consider it unlikely that
the Polish guards, who have been
accused of being anti-Semitic, will
be moved with the other Poles.

NO COMPETITION ?. • •
THERE'S PLENTY OF IT

More than any other private business,
the utility is in direct and continuous
competition with the theories and, in
some sections of the United State:,
with the works of those who woul I
turn private business into governme:_t
business.

The Detroit Edison Company cc 1-
petes for your business in your hor
because there is nothing which cc
pels the use of electricity exclusively
in the operation of many household
appliances.

Industries are free to build plant' for
the manufacture of their own etc :trio
power, and a few have done so.

Because of the existence of real competition, The Detroit Edison Company is re-
quired to produce so efficiently that the industrialist cannot afford to generate his
own power.

Detroit Edison is required to serve the home so well that its occupants will PREFER
electricity.

Beyond all this is the ever-present fact that our customers—you the householder,
the farmer, the merchant and the manufacturer—expect nothing les
s than the BEST
from The Detroit Edison Company. We are in constant competition with that
standard of price, dependability and service which you fix for us—with your idea
of what Detroit Edi
son should be.

Upon our ability to meet that competition depends our right to survive and prosper.

Direct competition by another electric company is eliminated by law as a matter
of public policy. That policy permits exercise of the economies of mass purchases
and mass production without wasteful duplications. The safeguards of public-
regulation are combined with the enterprise and efficiency of private management.

The objective and the result—extraordinary service at reasonable cost.
