new rOrk, April l4.-NOW tHd'
the gates of freedom have opened IN
Russia, the Jews whom czarism drove
into exile will return to their native
land to spread the freedom they
learned in the United States.
For the jew is the original re-
publican and republicanism of the
United States is the nearest approach
to the ideals of the prophets of Is
rael ever Incorporated in state.
The reign of terror in Russia be-
gan upon the enactment of the May
laws GSS2,D which placed ,6,00O,-
600 Russian Jews under untold hard
ships and restrictions.
4 Pole could travel turnout the
empire Finn could do business; a
Ukranian secure education. But
Russian law barred Jewish children
from public schools, and sick Jews
from hospitals; denied Jewish youth
admitiance to the professions; for
babe Jewish families to live outside
the pest-breeding ghettos or travel
from town to town.
Defenseless Are Slain.
Organized massacres shed the
blood of old men. defenseless women
and little children.
When the chief of the molly synod
was asked what he hoped to effect
by this bloodcurdling policy. he said;
"One-third of the Jews will be con-
verted. one-third will be sacrificed.
and one-third will be driven into
exile. In that way the Jewish ques-
tion in Russia will be solved"
Just so did the Sultan seek 20
solve the Armenian question.
The third who were driven into
exile became apostles of Russian free
dom. The tales of horror they spread
abroad prepared the world for revo-
luton in Russia.
In the United States the jew from
Russia found a land of promise, free
C'bOolS lOl iot
and professional openings for his
grown sons and daughters, a home
wherever he chose TO live.
Now the Jew is able and anxious
to repay America. By tens of thou
sands he is going back to Russia to
show the biggest country on earth
now Russia needs the United States.

earth's surface and populated by

aot so rich as the unworked urals.
The vast agricultural governments de-

of railroad.
There is incalculable work to be
done, armies of still leaderless lab
orors waiting to do it. and enormous
yodkaless Russia is steadily growing
rich. In the twelve years, 105-1917,

To Ask L. \. Aid.
Here lies the first opportunity Of
the Russo-American Jew. They came
to America exiled apostles of Russ
ian freedom. They will repay Ameri-
ca for her shelter by returning to
spread American ideals, customs and
trade thruout new Russia.
Already it is said new Russia's fate

probably ask Americans to take over
its control and reorganization.
Such a policy foreshadows two
groups OF self-governing United
States' stretching from Sandy Hook
TO Warsaw nearly two-thirds
around the world. II calls for a
small army of nelish-speaking Russ

thinking and working, II would be
an opportunity for spreading Ameri-
