A FAIR HOPE SHATTERED.

When the free republic of the
Ukraine, the large southwestern
part of Russia, was organized, it
looked like the beginning of period
of liberty, peace and happiness for
about four million Jews. The Jews
of the Ukraine were not only given
complete freedom, but were recog-
nized as separate national group,
on equal terms with the Little Rus
slams and the Poles, were given a
fair measure of communal auto
nomy, and representation in the gov
eminent of the republic. The Jews
of the Ukraine, after their necessary
economic rehabilitation, would thus
have become a source of help and
strength to the other Jews OF east

THE SQUARING OF THE
CIRCLE.

The wonderful mathematical feat
of. "the squaring of the circle" has
been accomplished by our esteem
ed contemporary The American
Israelite. The circle in question is
The Jewish workmen's organization
known as The Jewish Workmen's
Circle, and the squaring has been
done in connection with this organ
ization's stand on the question of
Zionism. The organization being
composed very largely of great
scholars, profound thinkers, enlight-
ened seers, poets, statesmen, and
other kinds of illuminate, has at it's
recent convention held in Pittsburg,
Pa. gone on record with the follow
ing: The Jewish Workmen's
Circle, which is an international or
ganization, in the majority believes
that the artificial rebuilding of their
nation could meet with only dire
results"
The matter being thus settled for
good and all, certain M. Goldberg,
a Washington representative OF the
convention, made the following ad-
ditional comments for the benefit Of
the press:

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

1--WE feel. that the country of Pal
estine justly belongs to the conquer
ors who now inhabit it. We acquir
ed the land in the first place, thou
sands of years ago, by conquest.
America was nation acquired by
conquest, the Indians lost to the
better man. So we feel that Pales-
tine belongs to the Arabs by right
of conquest and it is not our desire
to drive them out Of their homeland.
Moreover, the population of the sur
rounding regions would be antagon-
lied if we were to go among them,
a strange and new nation. America
is perfectly good enough for us, if
Russia does not suit the Russian
Jews, or if any country in which
they live does not come up to their
ideals then it is up to the Jews of
that country to make it suit"

interesting item the heading Jewish

ern Europe, including those of Po-
land and Russia proper.
This bright hope has now van
ished. The Ukraine is now clhtched
in Germany's mailed fist. 1t is prac-
tically a vassal state of the Kaiser
and his junkers. German soldiers
have overrun the country. The Rada
(congress) has been dissolved, and
German militarism with the help OF
the Ukrainian reactionaries, re1gns
supreme The excuse for this high
handed ruthless usurpation is the
inability of the Ukrainian govern
ment to maintain order. But the
real reason is Germany's lust of
domination and exploitation. And
the Jews of the Ukraine are now at
the mercy of the fatherland of anti
Semitism The Kaiser will not for
get that the Jewish Ukrainian rep
resentatives at the Brest-Litovsk
peace conference refused to vote in
favor of that sham-peace, that has
made Ukraine the Kaiser's doormat.
In fact the Jews are now being re-
minded Of it right along. A new
wave Of anti-Semitism is sweeping
over Germany. The Jew-hating
press calls the Jews the enemies OF
the German plans. Pogroms
against the Jews have broken out
all over the Ukraine, and it is not
difficult to surmise the source OF
Hooliganic inspiration. The new
sorrows of about four millions OF
Jews are decidedly "made i'll Ger
