In Jerusalem they threw rotten eggs at the stage during a per- formance of the Berlin Schiller Theatre, having also insulted and spat upon people entering the hall. As the demonstrators rushed the stage, other Israelis, some of whom themselves had concentra- tion camp numbers tattooed on their arms, intervened to stop them. At the Hebrew University on November 9, Betar members shouted down the German author Gunter Grass-who is a social well-known democrat and opponent of Nazism. The emotionalism of the pro- tests--at the Mann Auditorium, demonstrators donned prayer shawls and mounted the rostrum to recite the prayer for the dead -was very loud; but the cam- blatant in its paign was also insincerity.

Anti-Germanism is emotion- alism, confusion, ignorance and backwardness. Organized anti-Germanism as a political weapon is deliberate confusion, and exploitation of emotions and ignorance, in order to foster diversion and camouflage. With the ignorant notion that 'all Germans are Nazis', people be diverted from asking can 'which particular Germans sup- ported the Nazis?'. which par- ticular Germans ruling are today?' Germany and 'which particular Germans are today prominent in NATO, and main- tain business and political links with the rulers of the state of Israel?'. Demonstrating against cultural exchanges is convenient and cheap way of maintaining this diversion. With the concomitant notion -that 'only persons connected with Germany can be called fascists', peoplę can be diverted from recognizing that fascism does not have to speak German, nor need it always come wearing the swastika, nor is the danger of fascism today necessarily to be expected from Germany in particular.

Workers Press, Saturday December Finding the right hat MORE in the 'Which hat is he wearing?' saga--a source of much ribald amusement and not a little confusion to regular observ- ers of the trade union bureau- cracy. The game reached absurd pro- portions on Monday when Bill Hogarth, taciturn Scots leader of the National Union of Seamen, attended a meeting of the TUC Finance and General Purposes Committee with nobody saying a dicky-bird to him about his plan to register under the Indus- trial Relations Act. Yet Hogarth arrived at the meeting, which voted to write to unions defying TUC deregis- tration policy asking them to drafting reconsider, fresh from rule changes enabling the NUS registered at a week- to remain end executive meeting. A bit odd, that? murmured our gullible reporter. Not at all! replied TUC secre- tary Victor Feather tetchily. Mr here Hogarth was indi- as an vidual member of the F&GPC and not as NUS general secre- tary. So a letter will solemnly be sent out from Congress House, Hogarth-usually bareheaded on the authority of a committee of which Hogarth is a member, to ... Hogarth. Presumably it will summon him seamen's leader to as a meeting at which he will take part as a TUC chief in his own.

FORMER MP

for Swindon, Francis Noel-Baker, who recently quit the Labour Party, is once again rushing to the aid of his friends, the Greek colonels. He reckons theirs is the best govern- ment the country has ever seen.

Feeling somewhat barbaric and philistine in this modern and sophisticated world, the Greek military junta thinks it's noW high time that changed. What better than a good old, English-style public school to send the children they to, thought? Jack Meyer, the head of Britain's most expensive public Millfield, school, in Somerset, thought it a splendid idea.

He school plans to open a similar to Millfield on a 30,000- acre estate belonging to - yes, a certain you've guessed it, Francis Noel-Baker. Noel-Baker will not be charg ing rent for the land. "The school will, after all, be his foundation,' said Meyer. Reasonable enough.

Strangely enough, Meyer also likes the colonels. "They are doing a wonderful job, and are like splendid civil servants or bank managers, he enthused. Is this attempt to educate the Greek colonels all motivated by altruism? Meyer (66) let the cat out of the bag when he added: 'Whatever the colour of a government, no one but an idiot would want to stop anyone from bringing in much-needed foreign exchange? So there, you are. The Greek junta is expected to cough up £500,000 to set the project roll- ing, Two Greek ministers have names of already entered the children they would like to send.

Unfortunately, there probably won't be any cricket for these lads. What a pity. urday December 18, 1971

Xmas laugh FOR THE best laugh of the Christmas season I suggest read- ers get hold of the latest publi- cation from Robert Carr Co Ltd.

We refer to the latest brochure from the Department of Employ- ment and Productivity. It's about those places where ten men are chasing every job. The Tories tastefully call them 'devel- opment' areas. This little read has a neat especially laugh-a-line and recommended to families on the dole., Page four states that places like Scotland have reserves of labour [they nearly said 'a labour reserve'l and large areas 'that are under-used'. But the Department goes. on to describe the dialectical. miracle that has occurred under the Tory rule: 'But the disadvantages of yes- terday have become today's assets. In those parts of the , country • where industry has tended to concentrate in recent years there is a shortage of space and labour can often be difficult to recruit .. Well. in search of the truth the Workers Press team investi- gated those area where labour can often be difficult to recruit'.

There is the W Midlands, for example. Labour is very short here. For start there are only 82,206 workers on the dole. The employers compete desperately to attract this tiny pool of labour and fill their 9,000 vacancies.

Perhaps the most hilarions sec- tion is the one dealing with N Ireland. What a nice time employers would have if they shifted to the six counties. We quote again: 'N Ireland is a popular place for holidays and a centre for sporting activities. ... Golf courses abound . and many are situated near the coast.
