POLISH POGROM STORIES
 ARE MALICIOUS ISLANDER

] they timed to support the strong anti l Polish German propaganda in 1916, l in November, 1918, and at present? Monstrous EAasgerations. The wild tales about pogrons were, 1 and are, sent from German-J Jewish ! sources in Stockholm, Copenhagen and Vienna. They are monstrous ex- l aggerations of few sad casualties of revolutionary outbreaks as in Lemb berg, of food riots, of fights 1 against radicals and Bolsheviki in Poland. In Pinsk only thirty three
 Jews were condemned to death for ] being the leaders of a Bolshevist conspiracy to kill not only the Polish officers and soldiers, but also those ] of the Allies who happened to be present in Pinsk at that time. Should not all lunatic Bolsheviki be extern1- mated? The Polish nation, and the Polish governmen stand for justice, law and order Full protection and equal rights are granted to those in Poland who are Jews in religion and Poles in nationality in return for full civic services and undivided loyalty to Poland.
 The status of Jews in Poland must be the same as it is ir America: they must be Poles of Jewish faith. Why did not the American Jews protest against those disloyal Jews in Po- land who desire to form a Jewish ma tional state and a separate Jewish
 nation within Poland? Why has the American Jewish convention in Phil adelpl1ia encouraged such activities? A national separatist movement to oJIfo -ir1> state in America would be of course treason and 6 crime It must be so in Poland. Why have the Am erican Jews not protested against those Jews in Poland who greeted the invading Huns with flowers and candy as lib- orators in 1916? Why do the Amer ican Jews not protest against the destructive Jewish radicals and Jew ish Bolsheviki of Poland and Russia Why do the American Jews not cen sor those Jews in Poland, who having cornered all food supplies, were ex- torting unreasonable prices from the native population, causing food riots, or practicing sharp, fraudulent meth ods and usury in transactions with the credulous, unsuspectins Polish peasants and workers?
 NationaIiStic Ideas.
 Noah Peiluckij, the leader of the Jewish national party in Poland, and a member of the Polish constituent mbly in session in Warsaw is quoted in a telegram from Warsaw, Dec. IS. 1918. as follows:
 "The trouble between the Poles ] and the Jews is the indisposition of ] the Poles to meet our demands" ''The nationalistic idea has devel-
 
 l have aspirations similar to the Czechs, but lack territory.' Anti-Scnlitic agitation began 40 years ago when Poles were urged to open small stores and overcome Jewish competition The same ideas were expressed in 'Yiddish, English and Hebrew.' at 1 the recent Jewish congress in Phil 1 adelphia: to recognize the Jews in Poland as a, separate nation, to grant ] them national rights.''
 Here are the true motives of the l Anti-Polish Jewish propaganda un- masked.
 l The Jews propose because of lack of their own national territory ex- cepting Palestine, @ poor country where the 100000 Jews form an in l significant minority--to make of the l fair and rich Polish lands a Jewish 1 national homeland. They are afraid , the Christian Poles liberated now ] from foreign oppression may develop 1 their own industrial, commercial and l financial enterprises and brand such 1 activities a boycott of the Jevs,' Is 1 if not wicked and foolish?
 Julius Kahn's Opinion. l The Congressman from California, i Julius Kahn, says in The New York l Times Magazine, Feb. IS, 1919: He ] the Jew in Poland. Rumania and l Russia felt it incum bent upon him
 self to become 8 money grabber, and 1 he was not particular frequently, as ] to how he became the possessor of money, He charged exorbitant rates l Of interest; he became in many coun- l to petty crimes"
 Some Jewish Opinion. Some more light on the same prob ] lem will be thrown by opinions of two Jewish gentlem en, of Professor P Tutermilch of Warsaw quoted in a. telegram from Warsaw by the Asso- ctated Press of Dec. 1e, 1918. and of the former attorney general of the State of New York, Hon. Simon ". Rosendale, as published in the New
 York Times, Dec. P, 1918. MT. Ros- endale represents the only desirable Jews, the American Reform Jews In discussing the political situation in Poland, especially as regards the Jews, Professor F, Tutermilch. S~ ad ditoT and uFifer Soi1
