The Jewish Chronicle says editorially:
We charge the Russian government with
responsibility Ter the Kischineff massacre.
Ii Europe does not on the present occa-
sion disassoci3te itself from the leprous
faint of this barbarian power it writes
ITS humanity down q sham and its civil
ization as organized hypocrisy.
The cardinal fact of the whole ira
gedy Is that the massacre was organized
and allotted by Russian authorities. The
killing and pillagiag was done under
cover of the troops and the police. Dur
ing the two days the massacre lasted the
governor did not leave his house. Tele-
graphic communication with St. Peters
burg was stopped.
All the participants in the slaughter
who Were chiefly imported hirelings-
wore red shirts. An eyewitness is quot
ed as saying: The police and troops form
ed circles in the centef'of which the slay-
ing and loptiRg was gang on, the police
pointing cat tie houses Of the Jews to
the mob
The newspaper Weschod of st. Pc
tersburg was suppressed for printing the
facts.
Jew batting is now spreading through
out southern Russia, stimulated by sto-
ries of so-called ritual murders. The ju-
dicial Inquiry into the massacre is not
intended to disclose the facts, but to
smother them up.
