rebuke to lynchers. when asked to explain
his very significant alluson in his speech
delivered yesterday at the Independence
Day celebration on the White House lawn
when he stated that mob violence and such
displays of passionate resentment. as re-
Gently exhibited in New Jersey. Illinois and
the Southern States rendered our voice help
less when raised against oppression else
where.
This utterance was generally interpreted
here to apply TO the protest filed against
Russian persecution Of the Hebrews. Secre-
tary Moody said, when asked to explain
these remarks:
II meant just what I said. There is no
offense against the law so objectionable
and dangerous as that of lynching. Recent
events have shown that the practice of
violating the law in this respect is not con-
fined to the South but has been witnessed
in Illinois and New Jersey.
GOVERNMENT OFFENSE
"Lynching Is not an offense that may be
ascribed to sectionalism. It has made its
appearance in 50 many States that 1t might

occupy after the demise of the Pope, when
