A

GERMAN book which has just appeared in Amster- dam shows that the threat of persecution still hangs over the scientific research worker as menacingly as it did in the darkest periods of history.

"For these reasons," wrote the author in 1938, “I shall not let this work be known, but that does not pre- vent me from writing it down. ... It can then lie, hidden until a time comes when it can safely venture into the light or until someone who reaches the same conclusions and opinions can be told: There was somebody even in those dark days who thought the same as you.'"

The book is by Professor Sigmund Freud; its title, "Moses and Monothelsm," The public who have been awaiting its pub- fication for years were told that it would only appear after the nuthor's death.

Clearly it is among Freud's most important speculative work. It suggests that Moses was not a Jew but an Egyptian follower of the Pharaoh Akhnaton, and it is from Akhnaton's sun-worship that he believes Judaism and Christianity to be derived.

THEORY OF RELIGION

Decrease In Unemployment

The reduction in unemployment in May reached the unprecedented figure for that month of 152,000 and the decrease since January has been 517,000, which is another high record for this period of the year when seasonal causes normally improve

According to employment.

the Ministry of Labour's estimate, 12,- 667,000 persons were, in insured employment in mid-May, an increase on the month of 150,000 and the. 12 months of 440,000.

The number of insured workers in employment has now

passed all former records. Not until there has been opportunity to sort out the additions to the insured population will it be possible to say whether there is now more employinent, both insured arid uninsured, in the coun- try thin at any other, timo-the former high record having been reached in the autumn
