OF course, it is one of our great

narrow, embittered M. E. O'Cor,-

True, M. E. O'ConnelI, the
Chinese and Spaniards have
been and are still being slaugh-

out to them.
The only difference between
the lot Of the Jew in Germany
today, and the Spaniard and
Chinese, is this, M. E. O'Con-
nen-that at least the Chinese
and Spaniards possess some
weapon and are given a chance
to fight back. The Jews are not
even allowed the right to leave
