ian to join the royalist cause, but
steadfastly refused and fought until
he had to surrender his little force at

reason for American perturbation over

closely to American minds and Yankee
pocketbooks. Mexico undisturbed and

(By Maurice Brodzky, Foreign Cor
respondent to Emanu-El)
Never since the expulsion of the
Jews from England have "aliens" in
London been subjected to such tor
rents of obloquy and vituperation as
during the last few months, all on ac-
count of the wretched misdeeds of a
few criminals of Russian nationality
who have perpetrated the dastardly
Houndsditch slaughter of police and
the wild deeds in the Sydney Street
battle. And never since the Struggle
for Jwish emancipation in Great Brit
ain has the Anglo-Jewish newspaper
press proved it's intellectually valuable
services to the community Both the
Jewish Chronicle and the Jewish
World rose splendidly to the serious
occasion and fearlessly stated the case
for Anglo-Jewry in vigorous yet digni-
fed language Especially is it the case
with the, on the whole, ably conducted
and very influential Jewish Chronicle
whose articles are quoted even by the
great "Thunderer" of Printing House
Square.
Quotations from the Jewish Chron-
icle are not infrequent in the great
London daily newspapers, and it was
gratifying to see the London Times
quoting the Jewish view of the sorry
East-end of London tragedies, as set
forth with impressive candor in the
columns of the Jewish Chronicle. But
how many Jews are there amongst
the many thousands of the readers OF
the great communal organ who are
aware of the very valuable services
the journal renders to Anglo-Jewry
amongst non-Jewish English readers?
Most of the readers of the Jewish
Chronicle, like the readers of Jewish
journals, in all parts of the world,
are under the impression that such
"sectarian" publications are only in
tended as opponents of dogma to re-
port ritual practices; and the chroni-
cling of "Shmuss" Little do the
great majority of Jewish readers know
that many non-Jews are regular read

fcult one, as he is practically painting
