Scnts are tortured. women assaulted Snnd
old men slaughtered and torn apart, then
only We begin to- think OF Snyg solution OF
the problem-how to escape. from the
raging volcano-the problem staring at
us for scores Of years. ST I Is an actual
crime to forget such ca tn trophes tina /
occur so often. Wild. beasts and small
birds are deserving places considered BY
mem unsafe. yet people--a whole race
proud OF their ancestry, prominent among
other ailons. have not the Instinct Of
the animal and do, not understand the
necessary laws OF K self-de fcnse.
But nm not a skeptic and I do believe,
that the Jewish position In Russia is
not hopeless The Jews Of the universe
have the means and abilityito rescue their
brethren located In Russia. 10 accom-
pllsh this great Undertaking. the most
important factor Is that the Jewspof all
the world should ibe thoroughly united
One-half Of the Jews OF the world live
outside OF Russia, far from the land Of
oppression. but It Is necessary that this
half should not feel itself far from the
Jew of Russia. It Is also necessary that
the Jews OF the United States, England,
Germany, France and other countries
should feel that the Russian Jews arc
closely related to them and that the blood
spilled in Russinyis part OF their own
blood and that they should notSonly elo-
quently speak about them,F but feel and
act accordingly. If every Jew outside of
Russia would be willing to rescue only
one Russian Jew, then all the Jews OF
Russia would be safe.
For this purpose work Is necessary. and
good systematic work at that. The pres
ent massacres of Blalystok should draw
closer all the Jews of the world to- one
idea. one thought-rescue the Jews OF
Russia from the flaming eruption OF the
Russian despotic volcano. Il n
