The Experiences of a Berlin

BERLIN, June 1.-THE Berlin Associated
PRESS correspondent TO day had a CONVEX
satioI with Herr Goldberger. the we'll
known Jewish tinancier, who was recently
expelled from Russia. He went from this
city IN the interest of the banking house
Win which he is connected, having been
furnished with special consular pass by
the Russian consul general here. At St

Russian minister of finance. and
other persons of high standing there.
showed the Berlin banker special
attention. But this did not prevent the
police Of ST. Petersburg from inscribing
upon his pass the words, ''The Jew Gold
berger, IS here on liberation and under
police supervision" Herr Gold berger does
not understand Russian, and thought
II was some regular police notation. He
learned differently when he reached Mos
COW. The pristaw called upon him and
told him he must leave at once. The
hotel manager told him a few rubIes
would fix it all right, but Goldber4er
declined to pay the blackmailer and left at
once. He did dot care TO establish bank
In a country where each policeman had
the power of levying blackmail Herr
Goldberger described the awful scenes Of
expulsion which he had witnessed at Mos
cow during his two days stay. Social
standing and high position. he said, were
OF no avail. None of the accounts so far
puollshed tells the whole story; the misery
and persecution are all simply Undesirable.
Contrary TO the accepted version
Goldsberger says the Gar is well aware of
the cruellles practised; that he always has
been radical anti-Semite and that his
hatred OF the Jews nas increased since the
memorable railway accident which hap
pened upon the line built by Jew.
Won Polleskof. Goidsberger thinks
Russia will not only suffer from
commercial disasters sure to follow the
expulsion OF the Jews, disasters which
Russia with her great resources might meet
with lmpunity, but that these measures
have brought about feeling of insecurity
among Russian Professionals and numerous
foreigners residing in Russia to whose en-
terprise most of the commercial undertak-
ings owe their existence. Nobody knows
whose turn is to come next and
no one cares TO risk his money or
work under the present state of barbarous
rage against everything foreign or non
orthodox, and the consequences will be
that Russia. with all her immense agricuI
tural and mineral resources. will sooner or
later be forced into condition Of absolute
bankruptcy.
