zens of an Anglo-Saxon state and
society, hence have no place in
America. Why? Because they are
revolutionists, Bolshevists, Social
lists and the like. And what evil
dence is there to support such an
accusation? Trotsky in Russia, and
Sidis and Rose Pastor in America.
There you have it.
We always thought that anti
Semitism was possible only in Rus
STA, Poland, Roumania, Germany
and Austria. But of late it has been
raising its ugly head in England,
too. A number of papers, controlled
by certain interests there, have been
steadily instilling the poison into
the English public's mind Some
writer's of note like Chesterton and
Belloc have for some time been
pouring out walls of abuse upon the
Jews. journalistic anti-Semitism
is no longer stranger in England.
And now it seems to have crossed
the Atlantic. 1t is here. We have
of late heard several salvos fired in
it's honor. Russian Bolshevism is
blamed on the Jews. That Russian
Bolshevism is Jewish there seems to
be no more question in journalistic
minds. And now it is American
radicalism and revolutionism.
1t is precisely the same kind OF
anti-Semitism that we have known
in European countries. The Jew is
blamed for certain tendencies;
movements, and activities that those
in power object to. That is what
happened under the regime of the
Car and his bureaucrats in Rus
STA; under Bismarck and his Jun
kers in Germany. Today he is
blamed for socialism; tomorrow he
will be condemned for capitalism
and exploitation. The French say
ing of "cherchez la femme" is by the
anti-Semites changed into "cherchez
lie Juif."
OF course, there are Jews who are
Socialists, like Sidis and Rose Pas
tor and Hilquit, but their number
is only in proportion to the number
of Jews in this country. How can
it be otherwise? The conditions Of
life, the individual temperament and
bent of mind that make Socialists
of Englishmen, Frenchmen, Italians
and Germans, make Socialists of
Jews. We wish it were otherwise

at Once-Postal Ready to
Give Good Competition.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Edward Rey-
nolds, vice president and general man
ager of the Postal Telegraph Gable
company, appeared before the postof-
flee committee of the house of repre-
sentatives today, at public hearing
on the Moon resolution, extending in
definitely the time during which the
government can retain possession of
the telegraph, telephone ana capIe
lines.
Mr.. Reynolds. in his statement to the
committee, said that Mr.. Burleson's
operating committee consisting of
Western Union man, two Bell tele-
phone men and an independent tele-
phone man, has within the past few
days tried to get the Postal company
to agree to increase telegraph rates,
but that the Postal company had re-
fused.
He also said that the Postal COM
pany, which already gives a long dis
tance telephone service, particularly
in the south and west, was opposed to
increasing it's telephone rates. Mr.
Reynolds main argument was that the
government is losing money by re-
tanning possession of the telephone
and telegraph companies. They
should be returned to the companies
at once to stop the loss and also to
have any proposed increase In rate
passed up at first by the state com
missions. as they should be-
He pointed out that taxes are al
ready very high and should not be in
creased by government assuming un-
necessary deficits. So far as the tele-
graph lines are concerned Mr.. Rey-
nolds said, he had not heard any rea-
SON why the government should re-
tain them except to carry out Mr..
Burleson'S schemes OF government
ownership or Mr.. Wallis plan Of huge
monopoly of all wire communications
Wants No Increase.
He said that the Postal company
had no intention of increasing rates IL
the lines are turned back and govern
ment interference ceases. He partic-
ularly urged that the committee as
certain definitely just what Mr.. Bur-
Lesson has obligated the government to
pay the various telephone and tele-
pensation and also just what profit
those companies are making at the
present time. so that the committee
might have full information as to just
where the government stands.
He said he believed that the figures
would show large deficit which ought
to be stopped at once by turning back
the properties at once. He said the
Postal company does not ask any fl
nancial assistance from the govern
ment and is confident that 1t can give
successful competition in the future
