bourgeois press which has been conducting cam
paign of vicious calumny against the Soviet Union
generally and against Bro Bidian in particular
The attitude of this press to the latest decision of
the Soviet Union in relation to Bro Bdjan is an
additional confirmation of the bias, righteousness
and hatred on the part of these petty bourgeois
organs, the Forward" Day" and Morning Jour-
nal" that froth at the mouth whenever they speak
81 We greet the Icor, the organization engaged
in enlightening the Jewish in America about

bration with their banners, signs and bands in
order that this celebration should be of the most
imposing character and should fttingly express
