blame for the war at the door of
Germany.
"Why does not the world ring with
the praises of Eisner, the Polish Jew,
even as it reverberates with execra-
tions of Trotzky, the Russian Jew"
he asked. as the Jew to be named
only when he is guilty of crime, and
to go unnamed and unremembered
when he has wrought great good to a
people and for the world ?"
DR.. Wise characterized Trotzky as
mot a Jew but a social alteration" ;"
He quoted Prince Lvov's saying that
50 per cent of the Jews were anti
Bolshevist, and declared that no Jew
save an apostate Jew could possibly
become a BOlsheYist.

NO Beer, No York Plan
VII Fissle, Says Darcy

y OBERT G. DAVEY, chief
AN counsel for the Anti-Saloon
League, stated at the Bedford
Branch of the Y. M. c.. A. yes
terday that there need be no fear
of a labor crisis on July 1,
when the prohibition measure.be-
comes effective.
The agitation for a national
strike to protest against the law,
he said, is being carried on by
organizations not truly repre-
sentative of American labor. La
Dor leaders, he asserted, have in
formed him that 70 per cent of
the workingmen of the country
are for prohibition, and that eff
forts to call them out on this
proposition will prove a fizzle.
Nothing, he felt, could be accom-
plished by the walkout. If the
benefits of the amendment, he
pointed out, proved disappoint-
ing, the measure could be re-
pealed through proper judicial
procedure.
He disapproved, however, of
the measure proposed in the New
York State Legislature by Sena-
tor James J. Walker, providing
for the search and seizure of
liquors found in all cellars. Mr..
.Davey characterized the proposal
as unreasonable and impractical.
New-York tribune., 1919-02-24

cupies the Mayors chair in New York,
posing as the friend of the poor when
ne is not consorting with the rich at
Palm Beach, was selected by Tammany
the liquor organization, as1 is appar.
emily controlled by William Randolph
Hearst, whose sweet conservatism and
lofty patriotism are known to all men,
The 10 per cent or some other per
cent. beer and wine bill that is waiting
to be born at Albany appeared on earth
once before as the progeny of Mr..
Hearst, whose attitude toward Germany
and the German brewers is we'll known.
1t was the vehicle sought to be used
by Mr.: Hearst in kidnapping leader
ship of the temperance forces for the
purpose of protecting beer. His ennis
sarles are evidently looking for some
Republicans who are willing to help
Mr.. Hearst preserve Tammany as a
means of continuing his chance for the
Governorship or the Presidency"
