mattered not if the ssforefathcrs of
an American Jew had fought in
the Revolutionary War nor how
distine used his services may have
heen to his country, the visa of his
passport was refused solely on &C
count of his religion-so that
Russia introduced a form of re}i-
gious inauisition on American
soil, as to every American citizen
who desires to go to Russia. This
condition continues today.
This discrimination by Russia
has been practised for more than
a generation in spite of protests
on the part of every Secretary of
State who has held Office during
that period. Secretaries of State
Evarts. Blaine, Gresham, Olney and
Hay have all made irrefuiab
arguments to tie Russian Govern
ment but they have been answered
only by subterfugc, by begging
the question, and by repeated
proc :a5tina the. Presidents and
Secretaries of State and American
ambassadors to Russia have been
shamrlessly deceived, but the most
solemn protests have not been
taken seriously, until it has be-
come clear to every American that
Russia is not now nor has she been
IN the past acting in good faith.
There is but one way left for
the United States TO assert its
dignity and honor, and that is to
terminate this treaty. All treaties
c,ntain clauses that enable the
governments making them to
terminate them on notice. The
Treaty Of 1892 with Russia pro.
vidcs for its termination upon
one years noIicc.T may be done
by resolution of Congress direct
ing the President to give such
notice; and it has been customary
to give notice in this manner
throughout our history. As the
treaty with Russia has been
violated by Russia in spite of our
protests, it no longer COMFORTS
with the Importance of the I'm ted
States as great power to retain
such treaty in force. A rosoIu-
ton terminating the treaty has
already been introduced in Con-
grcss, and it will be taken up at
the next session, a course that is
being advocated Ivy prominent
people throughout the United
States.

THE PASSPORT QUESTION

many speeches have been made
many diplomatic communications
have passed between the govern
nent of the United States and the
government of Russia about the
Passport Question. And yet most
Americans do not seem to know
exactly what the Passport Que;-
tion is how important it is how it
affects the honor Of Amcri can
citizenship.
The Passport Question is neither
Jewish nor a Russian problem -
it is distinctly an American
problem.
In 1882 the Government of the
United States made a treaty with
Russia. In clear unmistakahlc
terms which could not be nil
construed the very first article of
the treaty was to guarantee a
reciprocal liberty of commerce and
navigation between the territories
of the cOntrac ing powers and the
citizens Of the two countries were
to have the liberty Of entering the
territories of each country and of
sojOurning and residing in all
parts of such territories for the
purpose Of attending to their
affairs.
When one wishes to travel
abroad it is customary to apply to
the Government for passport.
The passp.rt is evidcDce that the
person bearing it is n citizen of
the United States and is entitled
to all the rights and privileges of
citizenship.
II an American citizen desires to
visit Russia he not only has TO
have passport but he has also to
have it vised in advance by n
Russian consul in the United
States. The visa is equivalent to
certificate from the Russian
representative in this country that
in his opinion the bearer is n fiji
person to enter Russia. Before
the Russian consul will wise q
passport however the applicant
has to fill out form in which he
is obliged to state his religion.
It is he .ausc of this religious
inqulstiOn that all the difficulty
has arisen; since if man states
that he is a Jew or if it appears
that tho applicant is Roman
Catholic priest or Protestant
missionary the visa of the passport
is forthwith refused.
1t is we'll known that the United
States Government makes no dis
tinction between American ciizens
on account Of their religion. II
cannot do so because it is against
the Constitution. All American
citizens irrespective of their
religion are equal before the law.
The United States therefore, could
n make q treaty which would
discriminate against American
citizens on religious grounds with
out violating the Constitution.
For nearly fifty years the
Russian Government observed the
Treaty of 1882 with the United
SIatcs with the same good faith
that the United States mas always
fulfilled its obligations. But
beginning in 1881 Russia inaugu-
rated her prosecutions eand mas
sacres Of its Jews and at the same
time began discriminating against
any Jews Of the United States
who desired To visit Russia. 1t
