SOvIETS SEEKING TO
CRUSH ANTI-SEMITISM

Moscow.-(S.A.)-An earnest en-
deavor is being made by Soviet Off
cials to ascertain the cause of and to
eliminate the rising tide Of i-Semit-
ism, which has manifested itself par
ticularly in the lower ranks. "Prav-
da,' official Soviet organ, finds the
root of the trouble in the fact that
great many workingmen are being
admitted into the Communist ranks
who have no revolutionary training.
In an article in the same periodical,
the secretary of the Moscow Commu-
mist Party, blames the government for
the rise of anti-Semitism, alleging
that officials have taken no definite
steps to crush signs of anti-Semitism
whenever they appeared at workers
gatherings. He calls upon all Com
munists to stamp out the vicious ex-
hibition of this prejudice.

Undoubtedly the Jewish religion

that he is playing with edged tools and
that If he has counseletl this abject
abdication of the Magma Charta of the
Turkish minorities, which includes not

committed capital sin in the eyes of
God and man. The great Rabbi Meir

twelfth century. rather than to subject
the Jews of his country to exactions
and expressions. voluntarily spent seven
years in prison and died there. He
recognized the danger of an evil pre-
cedent, and rather than to sanction It
he was ready to suffer torment and to
surrender his life. What contrast
his glorious martyrdom affords to the
cowardice manifested in the year 1926
by the Chief Rabbi of Constantnople,
who is only thinking of his own skin
and Is utterly oblivious of the possible
effect of his conduct upon the Jews

Marshall Answers Constantinople
Chief Rabbi on Minority Rights
Cites Heroic Attitude of Twelfth Century Rabb
in Germany Who Died to Protect
Jewish Rights

New York. - (JT,A) - Louis Mar
shall, in statement issued to the Jew
ish Telepraghic Agency. made the fol-
lowing reply to the assertions of Rabbi
Bejeranu Effendi, Chief Rabbi of Con
stantinople, concerning the national
minority rights controversy:
Rabbi Not Jews Spokesman
'There is nothing that | can add to
what | have heretofore said on this
subject Mr.. Marshall stated "The
comments of the Chief Rabbi indicate
that he does not understand the situa-
ton. He is speaking in terms of Orien-
tai eXaggeration when he intimates
that the entire Jewish population has
renounced its minority rights He and
the Notables who undertook such re
nunciation do not constitute the Jewish
people any more than the Three Tailors
of Toolcy Street constituted the people
of England. The treaties conferred
rights of citizenship which could not be
taken away by the Turkish government.
and conferred other fundamental rights
which cannot he abdicated, even by
"Notables,' without the consent of
every individual concerned, and not
even then without that of the League
of Nations, which is the custodian of
these rights.
''When the Minority Treaties were
entered into there was no desire on
anyhody's part to intervene in matters
which We're of Turkish concern, but
only in those which We're of interna-
tional concern. In the interest of world
peace it was regarded as essential that
minorites in all of the nations affected
by these treaties should be protected
and guaranteed in the rights secured
for them by these treaties
Turkish Code No Substitute
1.-THE idea that the provisions of the
Swiss Civil Code adopted by Turkey
are a substitute for the rights guaran-
teed by the Treaties, indicates how
uniformed the Chief Rabbi is. A civil
code is subject to amendment at any
time. Rights which it today may recog.
nize may be taken away tomorrow by
the majority. 1t is for that reason that

CHARGE TAMMANY
WITH RELIGIOUS
Discrimination
Race Issue Injected Into
Nomination for U. S.
Senate

New York City. -(S.A.) - Carl
Sherman, former New York State At
torney General, and prominent Zionist
leader, is head of movement declar-
ing that Jews have been Disseminated
against by the Democratic State party
in its selection of candidates for the
State ticket A delegation of Jews,
Sherman's friends, visited Tammany
Hall with a petition asking Leader
George W. Olvany to stop the dis
elimination.
The document said Mr.. Sherman
had, in April, received the indorse-
ment of the Buffalo Democrats for
United States Senator. 1t declared
that, within few days thereafter,
Mr.. Norman E. Mack, Democratic Ma
tional Committeeman, had brought
word to Buffalo that "Jew must not
run for that high office" Sherman,
if he persisted in his candidacy, he
would be punished.
Weak of Issue
The opinion is general, however,
that in view of the fact that Jew,
Benjamin Stolz, was selected for one
of the five available places on the
State ticket, the raising of religious
issue is not sponsored by the great
mass Of Jewish voters.
Norman E. Mack officially denied
the charges made by Carl Sherman
that the latter had been ruled out as
a United States senatorial nominee
because the latter is a Jew.
