The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1917-11-09
November 9, 1917.

ETY.. While the press does not use
the term Jewish when expatiating
on the present political shortcom-
ings or heresies and the pacihst at
titude of the East Side, it is i'm
piled and understood. The sophisti-
Gated and unsophisticated reader of
the daily press by this time has
very clear and vivid picture Of the
East Side of New York. The East
Side consists of a motley foreign
element" namely Jewish, all social
istically or anarchistically inclined,
all opposed to this war, all giving
aid and comfort to- the enemy.
Yet, the people Of Minneapolis at
least ought to know better, and its
journalists ought to know at least
as much as the plain common peo-
pie. Minneapolis has a Socialist
mayor. He and his followers, as is
well-known, are strongly and out
spokenly pacihst. Yet it occurs to
no one to call Minneapolis Social
list city, and un-Ameriean, and I'M
patriotic. We know the opposite to
be the case
Is. it not possible that conditions
in the much berated East Side are
about the same; that it, too, harbors
an indescribable variety of human
beings, tho collectively they are call
ed Jews; and that while the Social
lists and paci6sts may just now make
most of the noise, the East Side is
really no more socialistic than any
other part Of the American CONT
nent where the same economic con-
ditions prevail.
For, let it be borne in mind that
the East Side is New York's great
beehive of industrial activity. It
is the habitat of most of the poor
working masses, and the economic
pressure and distress there is prob
ably greater than in any other part
of the Union. 1t is among those
masses that socialism naturally
finds it's most fertile soil.
But the East Side is also full of
small shop-keepers, merchants and
manufacturers, and these as class
do not take kindly to Socialism. The
East Side has also more synagogs
than any other spot in the world,
synagogs we'll attended by
the faithful of the older generation,
and the religious synagog-Jew has
about as much love for Socialism,
which he, as rule, Identifies with
righteousness and atheism, as has
the average church-going Christian.
The East Size. therefore. is not

DISCUSS PROSECUTION OF WAR
AMERICAN. BRITISH, FRENCH AND
ITALIAN MISSIONS ARE Al.
READY PRESENT.
Questions for Unified Action win 90
cupy Attsntion--The Situation In
Russia-House and Lloyd George
Among Those Present.


y The representatives of the chief ma
tions at war. with the Teutonic allies
are assembling in Paris for the inter-
allied conference at which are to be
discussed momentous questions for
more unified action on the prosecution
OF the war.
The American, British and Italian
missions already have reached the
French capital. They are led respec-
lively by Col. e. NJ. House, David Lloyd
George, the British prime- minister,
and vittorio Orlando. the Italian pre-
mier.
In addition to determining a basis
for stronger joint action against the
enemy countries, the conferees doubt.
less also will discuss at length the
anomalous situation in Russia, where
the Bolsheviki factions are in control
and where German stan officers are
reported to be acting as military ad-
visers to the Lenine government. Pos
sfbly a most pertinent point in the
discussion will be. the future attitude
of the allied countries toward Russia
whether the situation as it now
stands does not place the Bolshevild
government and its followers in the
category of allies Of the central
powers.
Inside Russia the unsettled condi-
tions of affairs daily seems TO be grow
ing more serious. All communications
now has been severed between north
and south Russia, even the foreign
embassies in Petrograd being unable
to get In touch with Odessa and other
points to the south. Unofficial adyices
are to the effect that the Russian
northern army is in dires traits.
