Rabbi CrOnbach Sees Much to
Doubt IN Cars Promise to
Grant Freedom to The JelUS

South Bend Jewish people do not
place credence upon the report from
the car of Russia which promises
to the Russian Jews citizenship If
they remain loyal during the war.
Rabbi Cronbach declared Tuesday
that Russia has made many promises
only TO break them. Following the
announcement from the ear, Rabbi
Cronbach said:
Until satisfactory confirmation
OF the announcement is received,
10 were we'll not to accord too
much credence 10 the report that
citizenship is to be granted the
Jews OF Russia The air is, at
present, full of unreliable rumors.
This may be merely one of them.
Nor is It a rare thing in. the
history of Russia's dealings with
the Jews &c promises to be made
under pressure of circumstances
and then broken at the earliest OPP
pOTtunity. Too much reliance
should not be placed on promises
made by Russia in an hour when
her military ventures stand in such
dire need of Jewish patriotism and
bravery Jewish soldiers have al
ways been among the ablest and
Jews have never refused to shed
their blood on the battlefield even
for those who prosecuted them.
Let us see what will happen in
Russia when the stress and the
strain are over.
Again It is hard to grasp how
the implied promise could be kept
even with the best of intentions on
the part of the ear. How, with.
stroke of the pen, the transition
can be effected from the present
deplorable status of the Jews TO a
condition of full citizenship and
equality almost exceeds compre-
hension. It were more natural to
suppose that the desired change
will have to take place gradually
As was the case in the other Eu-
ropean countries, so also in Rus
STA, the several disabilities of the
