without knowledge of the problems Oh
life save what he can get from what
the dailies grind out day by day.
Unfortunately he is but poorly serv-
cd by these instruments of spread
ideas. They serve special purposes AND
special interests. They have motives
for the dissemination of such Thought
as will serve these special purposes
The ugly fact is that these organs are
totally devoid of morality. If they
at least resembled the Yiddish daily
press i'll content and direction, their
status would not be as bad. II Is
wholly unlike any journalism that Is
Known of in Europe. The other day
l spoke to a European attached to one
of the Embassies here and he ex'
with our daily journalism, and said
that such vennlity could not find room
among the most debased political
classes of Europe as it was before
tie war.
Still. the. large body of Americans
aust draw their ideas and inspirations
from this polluted source, and you can
not expect stable, well-balanced

Jews In Russia Or the still fewer Jews
in Germany and Hungary exercise an
hypnotic spell over the good, and do

and swallow other dope they get in the
name of things fit to print and dis

Let us be perfectly fair. We do not
deny that many Jews are active Bol-
shcviki and some figure as leaders,
but the charge that there is no founda'
ton other than Jewish malice and
agitation for the unrest in the world,
is pure bunk. 1t is Il strange power
they attribute TO the jew. During cell
turies he WIS unable to ward off all
sorts of brutalities committed on him.
and now, all of sudden, he wields
4 power on his prosecutors unequal to
any power ever heard of. Tile false
hood is obvious Moreover, the fact
that whenever Bolshevists or Sparta
, cans are spoken of their Christian
leaders are passed over without com
ment as to their racial, national OF
every Jewish leader is seized upon tc

spirit and play them up 50 as 10 make
it appear we are only clements of
destruction and harbingers of evil,
that must come to stop if we have

posterity. Not merely good Jews but
