HERE’S the RECORD A four-year history of electric rate orders issued by the Georgia Public Service Commission affecting the Georgia Power Company and its constituent companies reveals a graphic picture of how customers of the Company have benefited from rate revisions since 1928.

As a result of these rate reductions, our customers have saved more than $7,000,000 in the cost of their electric service since 1929. Further rate slashes are NOT justified! Georjgia POWER COMPANY CITIZEN WHEREVER WE SERVE [12] IS THERE A SOLUTION? (Continued from page 6) or Gentile, are an unpleasant class. h f nouveau riche may be explained but hit profiteering was certainly not an exc!u»- ively Jewish sin as a glance at the v. a r titles in England will show, and even if the proportion of such among the Jrvt* was higher than elsewhere, it is unjus- to blame more than the individuals con cerned. When we hear that Mr. Brown has just made a fortune out of selling bad meat to the troops we say, “Look at that damned scoundrel, Mr. Brown.” Wt do not say, "Look at that damned English man.” But if it be Mr. Levy, we say, "Look at that damned Jew,” and thr whole nation suffers for the sins of that particular individual. The Jewish problem will never be solved until anti-semitism as we know it today disappears. It is suggested that the part which the Jews can play to secure this disappearance is to acknowl edge that the past cannot be restored, and to turn to making a clear programme of constructive suggestions, both inter nationally (i. e., in relation to Palestine and nationally. But anti semitism can not be destroyed by Jewish action alone Leaving aside the fanatic, it is reasonable to ask of the ordinary man that he retog nize the influence of history rather than Jewish malevolence in the creation of the present situation and the present Jewish character. It is only so that it will tie possible to consider scientificalb the actual issues which must arise in an attempt to solve the question. If at am time he feels that the Jew is in the wrong he is, naturally at liberty to say so. What makes it impossible to cope with the present difficulties is the automatic pre sumption that it is the Jew who is in the wrong, and still more, that because of i particular grievance which may be per fectly justified in a particular situation all Jews are equally in the wrong about it. It would already be an enormoui change if only those Jews were accused of a particular action who were actually concerned in it. If the demand of the Jews for the ful fillment of the Minority Treaties, and for the abolition of all discrimination again* them would not, as has been suggested lie a very positive step forward, yet a sincere examination of the present situa tion would probably reveal many case* in which actual injustices are being im posed upon the Jews, which are not in the least necessary for the protection of the nationals. But even more important is the opening of other avenues to the Jews. The negative side of the renun ciation of anti-Semitism is to blame a Jew for his own sins, and not for the sins of any other Jew. The positive side is to collaborate with those Jew* who are anxious to find the right adjust ment of their situation in the generai body of the State, and, where executive power lies with one side only, to be pre pared to carry out the measures necessan to put the adjustment into practice. Much of the task of the regeneration of the Jewish community, and the elimina tion of those defects which give ground* for the accusations against them, mu* be done by Jewish effort, but at lea* there should be a recognition on the part of the non-Jew of his part in the re sponsibility for the creation of a com munity which we have seen to be partic ularly likely to show defects in its rela tions to its neighbors. There may l* many steps which can only be taken b* Jewish initiative, but the end of the road can never be reached without non- Jewish cooperation.
