mo Russian Pharaoh,

The persecution of Jews in Russia Is
the most cruel and disgraceful spectacle
of the century. No excuse can palliate
tho inhuman scenes in Moscow. 1t is
enough to know that men are being
marched through the streets in letters,
not because they are criminals. or ae-
cused OF crime, but because they are
born of a certain race. The facts are
too we'll corroborated to be denied. They
are not denied. BY coincidence just
at this time Russia had invited the civil
lied world to Moscow to see an exhibi-
ton of art. and the visitors have seen
quite different exhibition, one that
takes away all taste for art under such
patronage.
The Car has deliberately chosen to be
the modern Pharaoh of the Jews. and he
