else The Italian brings the idealism that
made a united Italy and a sturdy religious
faith And who can bring more idealsm
than the Russian Jew, who for love Of
faith is willing 20 die for IL and become an
exile
Judge Mack then turned 10 the topic Of
the evening, and said the justification Of
private charitable agencies springs from
the failure Of the state to provide equally
just and fair opportunity for all.
