RWK PARK R VVAC.KS . Iirar 10J9 peah The average weekly wages o t workers in American Industries have increased by more than 16 percent in the past year, although the length pf the average work week has bee: reduced by 10 percent, the Nationa Industrial Conference Board reports That mear.3 that the average hourly wage of irulusiriul wofkeis has gone up hutch -*.* thai; the weekly wage The week y earnings of factory hands arc now pItc-v-;* xacUv where they were at the peak of Uie "boom" in 1921). v rule the aumoer now employed in industry is higher than it was then. This would -'leart real prosperity if the buy ins power of wages were as great as it was in 1929, and on that point the Board's report is equally optimistic. The "real" weekly wage, adjusted to actual living costs, is 12 percent above the 192? average. S'>me will attribute this improvci-ieiii in til*: Annh'Van worker's condition to politics. Personally. I regard it as something which was inevitable. which would have come about, faster :f there had been less political interference. NKGROKS .

JEHUSAL.EM The Moslem | To every Christian, as to ever Jew, there is something so sacre .*hont the Holy City that it seems a , most a sacrilege- to abandon Jcrust ! lem to the Mohammedans, as is pr< | posed by the British commissic ! which has drawn up p'ans for U j new Jewish State- of Palestine. "If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my rigl hand forget her cunning." sang Q writer of the 137th Psalm. "If I c not remember thee, let my tongi cleave to the root pi my mouth, if prefer not Jerusalem to my chi joy." But while it is a sentimental shot to abandon Jerusalem to the Moslen ] when one remembers the blood spil ed in the Crusades and the Wor War to recapture it from them, tl practical fact is that the experiero of the past twenty years has provi that the Jews and the Arabs cann occupy the same territory peaceful! So the new Jewish State will go bac to the ancient home of the race, S maria and Galilee, leaving most Judca to the Arabs. After all, the Ark of the Covena was brought to Jerusalem by Dav from Shiloh, in Samaria.
