by I. G. Farben, which is in liq
uidation, and passage of legisla
tion by the West German Parlia
ment fixing a deadline for regis
tration of claims against the com
pany. Stockholders are expected
to approve the agreement at a
meeting in April and no diffi
culty is expected in obtaining en
abling legislation from the Bonn
Parliament.
The agreement provides that
the i. G. Farben liquidators will
make noney available to a legal
trust which will make the pay
ments to Jewish claimants. The
legal trust will probably be set
up in Frankfurt.
The agreement was the outcome
of negotiations in Frankfurt and
New York over the past two years,
designed to provide a centraliz
ed machinery for speedy payment
of compensation to former Jewish
slave workers, from the Ausch
witz concentration camp, without
forcing them to undertake pro
longed and expensive litigation.
Norbert Wollheim of New York,
whose test case in German courts
was the basis of the effort to win
compensation from the giant Ger
man cartel, said he was gratified
that a way had been found to
make possible compensation to
thousands of Jewish slave labor
ers from Auschwitz like himself
without requiring them to take
legal action. He said he would
withdraw his pending lawsuit as
soon as the agreement goes into
effect.
Dr. Ernest Katzenstein, director
in Germany for the Claims Con
ference, said information would
be provided as quickly as cir
cumstances permitted on proced
ures to follow in filing of claims.
He stressed no payments can be
made until registration of all
claims is completed under terms
of the enabling legislation expect
ed from the German Parliament.
Some 3,000 Jewish victims have
filed claims with additional claim
ants expected. If claimants are
no greater in number than the
Conference expects, prospects are
for payments of $1,190 to Jewish
slave workers for six months du
ration or longer, and for smaller
payments, with a minimum of
$460, for shorter periods. Trustees
who will handle the claims will
be named by the Claims Confer
ence.
The required legislation must
be enacted by April 30 and both

BUT! by Faith Baldwin
People often take price in prejudice; they are not ashamed, Heaven
pity them! And yet prejudice — which is hate and envy, which is the
slimy feeling of false superiority — is, together with nationalized greed,
’the root of war, weapons to destroy a people and a nation.
I believe that the extermination of prejudice is not accomplished by
wars but by ordinary men, women and children, through their attitudes
toward one another. In recent years the people who have most helped me,
outside of my immediate family, are Jews and Gentiles, Catholics and
Protestants. I turn to them in trouble, 1 ask their prayers, knowing there
is one God for us all.
Mankind’s worst enemies do not always fight openly, stating: “I hate
this ... or that. Take it leave it.” Such are easier to meet in combat. No,
the worst are those who operate as underground murmurs: the stabbing
word, so casual; the undermining phrase, spoken in good humor. Usually
they declare their way by saying, "You understand I haven’t a shred of
prejudice personally . . . but ...”
Never let it pass. Pin it down, drag it out. Ask: Why? Ask: When
and where? Present your rebuttal and in no spirit of apology.
Propaganda is not only for State Departments. It is for everybody!
