fcnSe of American Jews against anti
! Semitic attacks was made by Samuel
Dork. grand master of the United
States Grand Lodge Order Birth
Abrahama, in a message delivered to
members of the order at their annual
convention here yesterday.
THE Jewish people" the mcsSag age
said. have contributed their full
share to the progress, the welfare.
the prosperity and the happiness of
the land. Whether in the happy
hours of peace or in the dark and
terrible ones of war. the Jewish peo-
pie as class have proven themselves
intensely patriotic.
DenOunces Libelers OF the Jew.
We. therefore. denounce the libel
ers and defamerS of the Jew who
would SOW the seeds of discord among
their fellow men and seek to create
race antagonism. which has no place
in this, or. in fact, in any country
on the face of the earth"
The message declared it was anus
ing that in this country. where our
national beast is civil and religious
liberty. there should be persons en-
gagged il the work of spreading the
poison of anti-Semitism."
Attacks upon the Jewish race made
within the United States. the grand
master said, were most barefaced
and shameful falschoods. born mostly
OF bigotry and racial hatred. and are
the outSrowth of ignorance.
Grateful for Human Brotherhood.
Gratitude was expressed to men
and women of other denominations.
who in the true and liberal spirit of
AmcricaniSm. and with the conscious
ness of human brotherhood. have come
forward to denounCe and condemn
