ments of the organization in the
past fourteen years, but because
it bore directly upon the aues-
tion of work for and among the
Jewish children of the country.
We Jews today are greatly
concerned over the religious edu-
cation of the children of the poor
of our people. We have reason
to be equally concerned over the
religious education of the rich
of our people. And whether we
like it or not we must admit that
the Jewish schools in America
have failed in educating the chill
dren. The crimes in Chicago
would have been impossible if
Loeb and Leopold had been prop
erly trained in a Jewish school,
tanned to honor their parents, to
value life which Judaism en-
joins.
The Jewish school does not re-
ceive the support that should be
given il, This is not so much
the fault of the school as an or
ganiZation or Of the teachers but
it is of the parents and the local
spiritual leaders. Who shall take

bilities and duties of educating
and organizing Jewish schools, if
not the Rabbis? The Jewish
school should be the most i'm
portant factor in every COM
munity.

almost impossible for the GEN.
tral office, which is a thousand
miles away to closely supervise
the local efforts. 1t all depends
upon the local leaders.
There is great work for US to
be done and Young Judea must
play a very important part in
developing our youth Jewishly.
In our young people must be i'm
planted the spirit of Judaism,
and it is for them to hold to-
gether our people. But to ac-
complish this there must be a
healthy local Jewry before there
can be a sound world-Jewry.
These are serious and per-
picking times for Jews and Juda-
ism and we must not go about
our problems with half measures.
Thoroughness must be t h c
watchword of our organizations
which endeavor to reach out to
the Jewish youth.
The local leaders should realize
the Importance and their duty to
their nation and make all efforts
to raise the young generation
with a proper Jewish education.

ROUMANIAN GOVERNMENT
DENIES AGAIN ANTI-JEW-
ISH ATROCITIES.
Gcwish Tclcgraphlc Agency


London-Thc Joint Foreign commit.
/ tee has received today the following
cable from Its Secretary Mr., Lucien
Wolf, who Is now in Vienna:
Before leaving Bucharest I sub
mitted to the Roumanian Government
/ the kilograms Of the Jewish TclcgraphiC
Agency concerning the poGroms, and
asked for an investigation of the mat.
ter. In reply l received the following
telegram from the Roumanian Foreign
Minister; Except for the few small
incidents of which you know. there is
no anti-Semitic movement in Rou.
mania, which approaches in the slight
est degree pogroms. These false and
eNtravagant statements are exceeding
ly regretable. I will he grateful If you
will contradict them.
Regarding the alleged burning Of n
Jewish woman, the government knows
nothing, but has arranged with Mr..
Fildermann to undertake a rigorous
inquiry, (Signed) Duca.'
"Sar far as Bucharest is concern
ed" Mr.. VOLTS telegram continues,
81 can testify that there is absolute
tranquility and perfect security for
the Jewish people. Anti-Semitism ex-
lists, but the government is vigilant
and effective measures have been
taken"
In connection with this telegram it
will be recalled that the Roumanian
paper "Adverul" had the following to
say, recently, anent the denials of the
Roumanian Government:
"Vienna has committed certain ex-
aggerations because no direct reports
from Roumanian were possible. How
ever, the denial of the Roumanian
Government will remain Intellectual
because it denies flatly everything,
while, as a matter of fact, sixty Jews
were seriously wounded. They We're
thrown from the windows of trains
going at full speed. Trains were also
kept for long periods at various sta
tions SO that the drunken anti Scmites
might have plenty of time for their
doings. 1t is also true that during
this time the Roumanian authorities
did not extend any help to the attack
ed and maltreated Jews. No one lives
now behind a Chinese wall, and the
deniel of the government is, therefore,
in vain and disgrace. 1t would be
much better if the truth were ad-
mitted and the guilty ones punished,
especially those officials who complete
ly forgot their duty. On the other
hand, the protest of the Jews abroad
is entirely justified"
New York-Another denial of the
anti-Jewish atrocities in Roumania
was made by Prince Bibesco, the Rou.
manian Minister to the United States
in a letter addressed TO the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency on June 10th. The
letter reads as follows:
81 wish to inform you that have
brought the contents of the cable
grams you enclosed to the notice OF
my Government and am in a position
to confirm my denial of May 26th.
"The whole fabric of news orig
mating from Vienna and Budapest il
apparently based on fight, between
Jewish and Roumanian students
which took place in train betweeI
Cluj and Blaj. Nobody was serious
ly wounded and still less killed.
"The Roumanian Government main
tains their point of view, as explain
ed in April, by Undersecretary Tar
tarescu, and has taken the necessar!
steps to have those quality of having
started the above mentioned riot
brought to trial"
