inevitably lead to the destruction Of
Judaism. It is especially a brutal
charge when one considers all that
the Jew has suffered from the OPP
pressive and discriminatory laws of
Russian autocracy and from its eff
fort to suppress every aspiration that
the Jew had for freedom. 1t is a
great tribute TO- the patriotism Of
the Russian Jews, in spite Of the
indignities that they had t. undergo,
hundreds Of thousands Of them fought
under the banner Of the Czar, loyalty
and gallantly, and in large numbers
laid down their lives in the Allied
cause. The rosters Of the army and
navy Of the United States eentain the
names Of tehs Of thousands Of Jews
born in Russia who served e, faithful
ly under our colors that they gained
the unqualified approval Of their Off
cerss and proportionately many Of
them were awarded decorations of
honor by a grateful country.
We have refrained from comment
ing on the ibels contained in "The
Dearborn Independent" Ferd. in the
fullness Of his knowledge, unqualified
ly declares The Protocols q be genu-,
inc and argues that praeti4ally every
Jew is q Bolahevist. We Aeye dealt
sufficiently with both Of tsse false
hoods. It is useless In . sexious doc
ument to analy.s the purils and ven
omous drivel that be has derived from
the copcoctions Of professional agi-
tators. he is merely Z duts..
What is the motive Of those who,
have set in motion thia new snslought
Of .anti-Semitism? It il the motive
that again and again. has aetuated
autocracy and its adreit supportefsv|
that Of seeking q scspsgoat for their
own sins, SO that they may be en-,
abled under the cover q false
issue to deceive the public.
1t is an attempt t. dzivs into the
Of the eitizsn1J = esr eoun-
Try that has been IT, p<its md it,
strength the wedge Of dise6Ed, By
arousing suspicion and incitine overt
acts not only against tAsee II Jewish'
origin bus alss seainao tdSnassns,
in the hope Of disersaitins free fov-
ernment in the eyes Of the European
masses and thus facilitate ths restora-
tion Of absolutism in government
The Protocols were manufactured
In Russia under the bureaucracy, and
the ammunition with which the cam
paign is conducted has been fur
nished out Of the arsenal Of imperial
istic Germany and by those who are
seeking to restore the Hapsburgs,
the Hohenzellerns, and the Roman
offs on their thrones. Ancient hatred
and unreasoning prejudice and q,
failure to understand and know whak
the Jew really is, are likewise re-
sponsible for the readiness with which
these falsehoods have been accepted
by those who are ever willing to be-
lieve evil Of their feIlow-men.
We have an abiding confidence in
the spirit Of justice and fairness that
the true American, and we
are Satisfied that our fellow-citizens
will not permit the campaign Of SLAM
der and libel that has been launched
against us to 60 unreproved. There
is enough for all Of ~ to do in the
great task Of building up our common
country and Of developing the prin-
ciples on which It II founded. Let
not hatred and misunderstanding
arise where peace and harmony, unity
and brotherliness, are required to
perpetuate allthat America represents
and to enable al men to know that
within her wide boundaries there il
no room for injustice.
