Czechoslovakian Newspaper At
tempts Blood Ritual Libel.

Prague (By I. J. P. B.)-A
newspaper of Czechoslovakia is
charging the Jews with having
murdered a Christian girl for
ritualistic purposes. Some time
ago, the Christian, Anna Benesch,
who was serving as maid to the
wife of Jewish man poisoned
herself and was found dead in
her room. The coroner estab-
lished that she died through gas
poisoning, and to satisfy the cries
of the anti-Semites, that no blood
was drawn off from her body be-
fore she died. Investigations,
however, do not mean much to
the "Stit Naroda," Czecho-
Slovakian newspaper. 1t still
chooses to believe that the girl
was murdered by the Jews in or
der to use her blood for the Pass
over services. Not content with
writing articles to advance the
blood ritual charge, this publica-
ton is now printing leaflets which
it is distributing among the mass
es to inform the people OF the
ritual murder.

Swiss Disability Law Against
Eastern Jews.

Zurich (By I. J. P. B)-SWlt-
zerland, who has already exhib-
tied her official hatred Of the Jew
by forbidding the ritualistic
"shchitah,' took another step for
the advancement of anti-Semitism
by putting upon it's statute
books a law which specifically
discriminates against the Eastern
European Jews who have come
into the country during the war.
Recently, the local government
passed a law requiring all East
ern Jews to be in the country at
least fifteen years before they
may become citizens. For mon
Jews" ten years residence is suf-
fcient. Besides the long resi-
dence requirement, the Jews
must also present a special GER
tifcate from the Chamber OF
Commerce stating that they are
an economic asset to the COM
munity. For non-Jews this GER
tifcate is not necessary.
It is a tragic fact that OF all
the countries Of Europe, the free
republic of Switzerland is the
only one to adopt expressed anti
Jewish legislation. Other coun-
tries, particularly Poland and
Hungary, have directed laws
against the Jews, but their
phraseo1ogy implied the Jews and
did not mention them by name.

LET THE NORTH SIDE
ORGANIZE.

readers in Minneapolis has read
and pondered the communication
by DR.. 7. J.. Kurtz in our last
issue under the head Of "Who
is to Blame?" It was brief but
telling survey of the alarming
and distressing conditions that
prevail in a section of our city
inhabited by goodly numbers Of
our people, conditions that will
sooner or later give us all rude
awakening. But it was also, by
implication, severe Indictment
of the leading men and women
of that section, who have al
lowed these conditions to develop,
and who even now do not seem
to be on the alert to remedy them.
1t is after all a neighborhood
matter, and the people aof that
neighborhood should be primarily
concerned about it, without, how
ever, relieving all the Jews Of the
community of their duty Of CO
operating.
What is to be done? First Of
all let the Jews of that section or
ganize themselves for the pur-
pose of removing the evils COM
planned Of. DR.. Kurtz is right in
maintaining that before we build
up Zion, or bring the socialistic
heaven on earth, we must clean
our own house where we and Our
children must continue to live.
There is no lack Of leadership for
such an organization in that sec
ton of the community. There are
two or three rabbis, many profess
siona1 men, and some very prom
inent, wide-awake, thoroly Amer
icanized business men. An or
ganization will be able to COM
pei the city authorities to help
in the cleaning up process. The
organization with the co-opera-
ton. of the entire Jewish COM
munity may then plan and under
take some constructive work, too.
The establishment of a great civic
center will help some. Improved
housing conditions will help
more. A building association
that will furnish the people OF
that neighborhood with more de-
sirab1e homes removed from the
congestion of Sixth avenue is a
great desideratum. But above
all else let the organization as
sumo the task Of investigating
and ascertaining whether the
charge of the disproportionately
great delinquency of Jewish

NATIONAL FRIEDLAEN-
DER-CANTOR MEMORIAL
MEETING AT CARNEGIE
HALL SEPTEMBER 9TH.

Next September 9th American
Tewry is to mourn for its mar
tyred dead, Professor | sra Ell
Friedlaender and Rabbi Bernard
Cantor, who were murdered in
the Ukraine, while performing
their duty toward their stricken
brethren in that unfortunate land.
The memorial meeting which
promises to be one of the most
impressive ever held in the city
of New York is to take place in
Carnegie Hall.
All the national American Jew
ish organizations are expected to
participate in order to make the
occasion worthy of the two noble
souls who gladly offered their
lives to serve their fellow Jews
in Eastern Europe. The princi-
pal Jewish institutions and socie-
ties of learning, particularly
those with which Professor Fried
laender was associated, Jewish
fraternal organizations, the Free
Synagogue, of which DR.. Cantor
was assistant rabbi, and other re-
ligious congregations are to par
ticipate in the memorial which
is to be both a tribute to the
men who died martyrs for the
Jewish cause and further call
to American Jewry to respond
generously and graciously to the
holy cause in whose service the
two great Jews died. An appeal
will be made for our starving,
homeless, and sick co-religionists
in the dismal, disease and pogrom
ridden countries of Eastern Eu-
rope.
Since Professor Friedlaender
and Rabbi Cantor both died while
serving as the commissioners OF
the Toint Distribution Commit
tee, it was to be expected that it
would take the initiative in the
arrangement of the memorial. A
