Some differences From the Trial at

American and the Jewish Stand

Interesting from both the Ameri-
can and from the Jewish standpoints
is the ocalled-investigation of the
charges against the five "ousted" So
cialist Assemblymen at Albany.
From the American standpoint, in
common with many citizens of the
country, I consider the expulsion of
these assemblymen one of the great
est wrongs which have ever been
committed against America itself.
The worst enemy Of our democracy,
and Of it's fundamental principles,
could not have struck it greater
blow than that which it has suffered
at the hands of Speaker Sweet of the
Assembly. In our entire existence as
a free republic, no more harmful po-
litical act has ever been perpetrated
than the one of the Albany politi-
clans.
Although / myself am not a So
cialist, and have often fought the
Socialist Party, cannot condemn the
suspension and trial of the Assem-
blymen too strongly. Most Jews, l
know, have deeply deplored the whole
affair. The Jewish papers, without
exception, have protested energetic
ally and courageously against this
assault upon our free institutions and
constitutional rights. know, also,
that certain individuals have express
ed themselves in no uncertain terms
against this action Of the Assembly;
still, l feel that our voice as Ameri-
heard, and that we have allowed this
vital question to slip by. Why have
we not taken up this question openly
according to our usual custom? Every
one Of us knows how often we have
openly protested against important
and unimportant occurrences, against
injustices which touched US to a
greater or less extent-and now when
our liberty, itself, is assailed, we
have not found it necessary even to
protest.
The great Jewish organizations
which have always taken advantage
of every opportunity to formulate
resolutions, have now seen fit to ig-
more the entire subject. Even our
leaders and arbiters who hold forth
when they should and when they
should not, and who often NEEDLE in
matters which do not concern US,
have also been automatically silent
this time. This is most remarkable
because we Jews are patriotic-we
understand and value our institutions
and cherish the democratic spirit OF
America. / am familiar with the ar
guments in favor Of this silence. l
have heard the cautions Of our So
called leaders: that we must not
speak up, we must be silent, and must
not let the Jewish name be mixed up
in the matter, and SO on. am not
in accord with this procedure. 1t
may be interpreted in one OF two
ways: either that we are indifferent
to our rights, or that we are too cow
ardly to fight for them. Both inter-
pretations are erroneous; but our act
ions or rather our lack Of action
would seem to point to such a con-
clusion. As true Americans and as
lovers Of freedom, we should have
vigorously protested against such an
infringement upon our civil rights.
The obligation for doing this de-
volved to an even greater extent upon
the citizens, most Of them Jews, in

clallst AssemDlymen. Without regard
to their party affiliations, they should
have come out resolutely against the
disgraceful treatment which the rep
resentatives of their Districts have
received. Their silence Is deplorable
and to be regretted.
consider our silence a mistake
and a great wrong, which we have
committed against ourselves as Amer
leans and as Jews.
From the Jewish standpoint, the
Socialist trial interested me to an
exceptional degree. l compared the
trial at Albany with other trials in
European countries-and what diff
ference there was between them. Here
four Of the defendants were Jews.
The principal lawyer for the defense
was Jew, and two of the other four
lawyers for the defense were also
Jews. At the trial there was intro
duced into the record "Red" book
written in Yiddish. Many of the most
important witnesses for the state
were Jews. There will probably be
a number of Jewish witnesses for the
defense. Often at the trial, the word
Jewish" was used. In general, there
was an atmosphere about the trial,
relating to something Jewish, and
concerning Jews.
The most important papers in the
country reported the trial and wrote
at length about it-yet it may be said
that not word was uttered against
the Jews, nor was the occasion used
to the disadvantage of the Jews. /
am not surprised at this. Here it
could not have been otherwise. ]
merely wish to draw attention to the
fact; and / consider it very impor-
tant fact and well worth noting. Just
imagine such trial in France or Ger
many, or any other European coun-
try-even England. What would have
happened there? What "gold mine"
it would have furnished for the anti
Semites and their papers? How they
would have used the incident to agi-
tate against the Jews! can mag
inc how the London Morning Post, for
instance, would be yelping; how the
Paris "Libre Parole" and the an
transigeant" would be laundering
about the Jews and the Jewish men,
ace. One must only recall the Drey-
fus trial, the lola, Bells and Hilzner
cases, and the stir they caused, and
the attendant activities of the anti
Semites and their press, in order to
realize the difference between "here"
and "thre." 1t is worth while DELHI
rating over the "here" and the
"there," and drawing the resultant
conclusions. Herein spite of the
fact that there are some Jew-haters
public opinion will not tolerate any
open race provocations. Most impor-
tant Of all, the government Of the
United States, and Of the states indi-
vidually, is absolutely against any
manifestation Of race hatred. Under
no circumstances would the govern
ments tolerate any activity which
would lead to an open struggle be-
tween one race and another. Anti
Semitism cannot exist where the gov
eminent does not want it to exist In
Europe, for the most part, the oppo-
site is true. "There," anti-Semitism
exists because the governments them
selves are more or less aeti-Semitic,
and because anti-Semitism is used,
with governmental approval, as a
factor in political life. II the gov

SILENCE ON LEAGUE,
PRICE Of SEAT INC
STATES SEN. REED

Kansas City. Mo, July 5.-The League
of Nations was denounced as league
of treason and covenant Of death by
Senator James A. Reed. who returned
here Monday from San Francisco where
he was refused a seat as delegate to
the Democratic national convention.
Senator Reed, addressing mass
meeting. declared that he was privately
assured "by grapevine messages while
his case was being heard. that the
credentials committee of the convention
would seat him if he would agree to
keen silent in regard to League of Ma
tons on the convention floor. Lis re-
fusal to make such an arrangement was
responsible for his being denied seat,
he said.
IF there is one lesson that this coun-
try is to learn" Senator Reed said. 1T
is that this is not one man country.
1t is a 110000000 men country. If you
would keep the republic safe. you must
do your own thinking. You, the people,
are the source of all power. The sooner
you exercise it, the better it will be for
you and for your country
Senator Reed denounced the Demo-
cratic convention Mt San Francisco as
"a convention afflicted with international
blind staggers."
Without direct personal reference to
any one the senator declared there was
little difference between the doctrine of
the divine right of kings .and the modern
doctrine that man elected to office
becomes thereby a leader, and that all
who differ with him are communicated
and outcast."
