ROUMANIA CAN BE
HUMANE TO JEWS.
The Jews in Colonel and Other Cities
Very Well Treated, but They Do
Not Lack for Troubles.
By Leo Wolfson.

In a newspaper appearing in Yassi,
read statement by member of the
Jewish National Council of Pocutzia,
which was full of praiqe and gratitude
toward the Roumanian government,
and its military commander for that
region. The fact that there were
Jews who expressed their thanks to
Roumanian interested me keenly, and
so l decided to find out the facts and
circumstances.
Upon investigation l found that
Pocutzia is a province Of Eastern Ga
licia, and Colonel is the capital city;
that for several months Roumania had
occupied the region, and that it was
being administered by Roumanian
military officials. In Roumania prop
err little i9 known of the entire mat
ter, aside from the fact that there
appear from time to time in the press
notices containing expressions of
thanks on the part of Jews and 9TH
ers, toward the government for the
treatment accorded them by the Of
fcials. 1t was evident that these dec
larations were a sort of propaganda
for the purpose of keeping the prov
ince under Roumanian rule.
What | learned in Roumania did not
satisfy me, so decided to go on to
Colonel. The Roumanian military
High Command readily granted me
the necessary permit, placed at my dis
po1nl an automobile and also gave me
the privilege of taking along with me
two Jewish journalists, one from Yas-
81 and one from Czernowitz. Major

did not ask us for victory of British
or any other imperialism over German
Imperialism. but for a victory of demOC-

featcd. no matter how much Germany is
reduced. if. as result of the conflict,
the rights of small nations are not
maintained and conscription is not
ended.
Against Imperialism
"1nternatOnalism does not mean the
elimination of nationalsm. As person
ality finds its finest expression in the
family. so natonalism would be at its
best in a community of nations. 1t is
not internatioualism. but imperialism,
that crushcs out the real life of ma
tion. We had supposed that the full
fllment of our dream of victory would
mean automatically freedom for Ire
land. There is no freedom for any
without freedom for all"
Former Congressman Donohoe was
chairman of the meeting. He urged
that large fund be sent TO Ireland,

to support the men and women who
dare anything rather than submit to
oppression. Subscriptions came fast
