Any prediction as to the effects

tion of hostilities in the Euro- p331] theatre oi war is merely e guess, said Mr. White.

"American industry will be as quick to reconvert as it wee to convert to war effort and there- hl-e, the period of unemployment buying the reconversion period mould be oi short duration.

"The over-all inventory of civil- Ian goods is s0 depleted that years will be required to restore this condition to normal. Civilians have deprived themselves of many articles, which they will eagerly purchase when these items are available.

"Many new and novel itcms will be introduced," Mr. White con- tinued, "to either replace obsolete items or afford additional con- veniences and comforts."

B g oi all lunch, reconstruc- tion etc, will absorb many w-er workers, so that employment in eil fields should be at its eak in a very short time, Mr. White believes.

"lu my opinion," the associated president stated, “public spend will be at a high for some time to come and furs shouhi enjoy a brisk demand along with ell other commodities.

“While we may encounter a brief lull in business and lldilll by the working class un continued employment is portion of this all-ck in chasing power of those who re- frained from spending in order lo

rhe King was now short of money and" as Parliament would not gran-t funds for his extrava- gant expenditure. there was noth- ing for it. but to bleed the Jews again. The task was allotted to his brother, Richard Earl of Oom- wall. who at first showed some leniency. The Rabbi Elias wait- ed on the prince and, told him that the Jews had made up their minds to quit the kingdom for the Caorsini had heaped up treasure by their moneylending till they

England was lust emerging from’ the darkness of the Middle Ages, and this was the dreeriest period of her history. No doubt popular opinion has often restrained the actions of Kings, but 1n this case i: condoned Henry's barbarity when the szory oi Hugh of Lin- cnln spread horror through the land. It was proved-according to the mode of_ proof in those days- that a Christian child had been stolen. fattened or bread and milk for ten daljs. and than crucified at Lincoln in the presence of all the Jews in England. summoned there for_ this especial occasion: a Jew cf Lincoln sitting in judgment as Pilate. But by a miracle the earth dlsgorgsd the buried corpse. and the Jews thereupon threw ii (lO\\'l'1 a well where lt was found bv the mciher. The "fact" was confirmed hf: a solemn trial, and the criminals were executed. An- other account Rives fuller details of the fate that overtook the per- pctrators cf the crime. "The Je-lv into whose house the child it was said. had gone to play, tempzpd my the prcnlfse cf life and security from mutilation. made full confes_ sion. and threw the guilt upon hLs brethren." lIt is not difficult to see the_work of the torturer in that. confession). The King was‘ an- noyed at this unauthorized exercise of mere)‘. and ordered the Jew off l0 execution. The Jew in his des- pair. accused all the Jews of the Kingdom cf consenting to the child's crucifixion. It was a simple matter to get evidence of the kind: the prisoner wasrecked or

otherwise tormented till he said what the accuser desired. . Well. they tied the poor Jew to e

horse's tall and dragged him to the gallows, where "his body and soul were delivered to the demons of the air." Then the King held an inquest. the _moth2r appealed to the King. 1nd finally all the Jews were declared guilty. "Eight- een cf the richest and most em- inent of the Lincoln Jews were hung (sic) on a new gallows," and twenty more were imprisoned in the Torver of London, awaiting the some fete.
