THE UNFAlRNESS OF OUR DAILY
PRESS


III every paper on which we lay oul
bands we find that the Jews are being
attacked for every evil that is com
mitted by the present restlesSness OF
she worlds masses. AS if we Jews real
ly have the pulse of humanity in oul
hands. In particular we are accused
OF being closely Connected with the
Boishevik movement. not only of Rus
Sia, hut of Germany, as well as III
sumc South American Republics. where
n pogron was recently launched on the
Jews in good old Russian style. and
several hundred Jewish families were
dcported.
1t seems that all these attacks come
from one and the same sOurce. There
'uust be some hidden power, some
where. working for a common cause
10 degrade Israel's fair maine. Rec
emily. an American missionary Rev. q.
\. Simons. who had spent quite II
Eumter of years in Russia. came out
with bitter attack against the so
called East-Si,le Jewish Bolsheviki.
claiming that they are now running
Russia and killing the poor Christian
population. Imagine Il handful of
Jews ruling hundreds of millions of
people. This missionary gentleman was
probably bitterly disappointed when
hunting for Jewish souls, while in
Russia. and now is his chance to get
even with these unbelievers. The press
us mentioned above gives ample space
To these Jewish attacks. while. on the
other hund. very seldom. or ever, NEIL
lions the fact that this or that great
or noble act was performed by Mr.. So
and So of the Jewish faith. Here are
a few such items that l found at ran
dom in the daily weekly, and monthly
publications. during the last thirty
days. In the Boston Transcript Lit
crary Review calls attention to Mr..
Siegfried Sasson. a British poet,
whose recent publication of number
of his war poems have made Il sen
sation in English literature. of course
without mentioning the fact that this
british poet is son of the great old
English Jewish family. the Sassoons.
of London and Bombay. very few pap
crs indeed have mentioned the fact
That the late David Lubin, who died
recently, in Rome. chairman of the
International Institute of agriculture,
was Il Polish immigrant lew. Mr..
l.ubin worked his way up to Internal
iional fame from poor pcddler. Sew
The States referred TO him rs world
| bencfactor and as the man who had
his fingers ON the pulsr of the world :
| food yield. and as one of the great men
directly responsible in helping the Al
lies win the war by valuable advice
and information given To the Allied
food administration. Not a single
paper attached the word Jew" to the
name of David Hochstcin. one Of the
Youngest and most promising concert
vioiinists Favored pupil of the noted
| Leopold Auer,. who volunteered 'not
drafted) for service in the L. $. Army
and lost his life Oh the mttlefields of
France last October.
Very few publications have mention
ed the fact that Kurt Eisner. the late
premier Of Bavaria. wus Galiclaii
Jew. Herr Eisner WAS assussinated
by the German Junkers for having ha"
the courage 10 admit the truth. that
the kaiser and his clique. and not the
Allies. were responsible for the world
catasrophe-th war. However some
papers have discovered that Karl Lteb'
kuccht's great grandmother was II
