Dr. Hirsch Sounds Warning.
CHICAGO. H.. Sept. 17.-"Whatever
President Roosevelt or other Americans
have said or done to interfere in the
present Russian situation, has done in
finitely more harm than good. If the
Americans want to help Russia the best
thing they can do at present is to leave
it absolutely alone" With this warn
ing and advice DR.. Emil g. Hirsch. who
returned to Chicago yesterday after
three months vacation trip to Europe,
concluded his estimate of the situation
in Russia
DR.. Hirsch believes that for many
years to come the country will be the
scene of repeated uprising and constant
warfare, with no hope of amelioration
for the condition of the Jew in Russia.
Only emigration. he declared, will bring
relief for his people.
DR.. Hirsch visited England. France.
Germany and Switzerland. In France
he found decided opposition to President
RooSevelt's race suicide theories.
The French never emigrate," he said.
"They don't have to. for the population
of the country has grown hardly at all
in the last twenty years. The French
have a one or two child system. With
Germany it is different"
