The subpoenas were in con

The lib e ra l atmosphere of
Amsterdam through the cen
turies and its freedom of
speech and the press were
reasons why Jews as well as
other persecuted groups found
a haven there.
The ea rlie st Jewish com
munity was formed in A m ster
dam after the defeat of tne
Spanish Armada in 1588. When
they arrived from Spain they
came o ffic ia lly as Christians
to escape persecution under
the Spanish inquisition. Once
in Holland, they were free to
practice their own religion.
The
Jewish
community
prospered and by 1780, they
numbered 22,000. They had
great influence on the com
mercial prosperity and tne
culture of the city.
One of the finest buildings
in Amsterdam is a 17th Cen
tury Portuguese synagogue
where services are s till held
by candle light. The synago
gue also houses a lib ra ry of
20,000 Hebrew books and old
prints.
Today there are approxi
mately 13,000 Jews in Am
sterdam, about 30JE being re
fugees from other European
capitols.

There is a school of thought among Negro Americans, not l i
mited to so-called m ilitants, which holds that the whole kit anil
kaboddle in Am erica Is stacked against the Negro. They declare
that no m atter what his s k ill, training and experience, the black
man or woman is behind a perpetual eight-ball.
Of course. If this is analyzed It can be shown in enough in
stances to be not completely true, but the e ffo rt takes some do
ing. What hurts is that the statistics constantly reveal racial
hocuspocus m nearly every field. Sooner than later, because of
their experiences and of their natural suspicions, the rank and
file blacks begin to believe the revelations.
The latest of thesedeals with earning power and It shows, as
all black and white c ritic s are Insisting, that the black income is
lowest on the totem pole, this time lower than that of persons
of Spanish-speaking ancestry, q he c ritic s are citing the firs t
comparative figures from the Census Bureau which show the
typical fam ily Income of whites to have been $10,240 in 1970;
Spanish - speaking, $7,3'30; and Negro Americans, $0,280.
The Spanish-speaking total ia Inadequate arxl reflects the
racial prejudice with which members of the group have to con
tend. But while this prejudice Is shameful in its impact, the s till
lower position of the black breadwinner is a greater indictment
of white American society . The difference In the figure Is
$1,050 a year more. It is small wonder that some blacks take a
mistakenly dim view of schooling.
AU of which, translated into Lenox Avenue orSouth Parkway
or South Central Avenue language, means: " A ll the folks who
don’ t have black skins, or who speak a foreign language o r have
a strong foreign accent even if they are dark-skinned and all
white foreigners (many of whom despise the United States)
can get Jobs and good pay - even high income - except Negro
Amei (cans who have been In thia country for only 350 years,
who have been " fr e e ” citizens fo r 108 years and have fought
and died In every w ar in which th e ir country has been engaged.
Undeniably there has been progress. The signs are all around
since It is hard to miss the standout black skins In areas which
used to be m ilky-w hite. But the scattered Instances In each In
dividual’ s experience are set, 10 years, against the mass figures
of the census. These tell a somewhat different tale.
The self-congratualtions of American generally ought to he
muted and each citizen ought to bedlligentiy about the business
of equality of opportunity in hla sphere of influence. Black
Americans deserve better than a share of democracy fed to
them parsimoniously by the teaspoonful.
