Bditor New Britain Herald: Thinking people were amazed last night to read Dr. Hupert's letter in vour newspaper directed against the Jews in Poland, because you comment editorially upon an Associated Press report that the Poles were mistreating the Jews One c massacre ment, for n readily understand Thow received their encourage- the letter to which the doc- tor signs his name, if it should fall into the hands of an ignorant or simple peaole, would incite just such outrages reported by the Associated Press The American Jew does not need the doctor’s flattery, for he is the same Jew who came from Poland and Rus- sia a few years back and whom the doctor now condenins. 1If he is a de- sirable citizen here, as the doctor ad- mits, we Americans will question the treatment accorded the Jews in Po- land where these outrages occur. /As a native American and a Jew by lescent, 1 protest against anyone stamping the Bolsheviki as being of Jews because it is un- true; they even namber many Poles in their ranks and for the doctor to condemn the Russo-Polish Jew be- cause Trotzky is one, is logic not bave prompted mention that a Jewess named Kaplan attempted to assassinate Lenine, the Bolshevik Premier, to free her coun- try (Russia) from his tyvranny. T would be among the first Americans | to brand as false a statement that all Poles are assassins because Czolgocz (a Pole) murdered our president | McKinley. The doctor should not minimize the cruclties toward Jews in Poland and Russia. The vilest crimes, the most heinous atrocities, the most un- natural outrages inflicted upon a people were upon the Jews of Russia. No less a personage than the Pope at Rome protested against these horrors. The Jews were not treated ‘Very Gentle” as the doctor says. The Cossaclk whip was not gentle, the Ger- man sword was not gentle and Dr. Hupert's pen is not gentle. Tt is interesting to contrast Dr. Hupert's attitude toward a persecuted people, and he himself comes from a persecuted race, with that of Ambas- sador Morganthau, a Jew, who did more for the Christian Armenians than any living soul. All that has been Jew, was pre again nian, but Ambassador Mo tended his helping hand the doctor to id against the the Arme- genthau ex with bene- volence and sympathy. Rest at ease docto only justice. The sa hand, that of , our great President which gives your | | | | the Jew wants | country its freedom will also give my people the land which belongs them. If your country will give the | Jews equal rights which they had | never had, they will stay there and | help unbuild it, or they will to the land of ancient Isi other civilized land which is than willing to welcome them How untimely are the remarks of Dr. Hupert! Just as the great fight for democracy is concluded and the hand of brotherhood and benevolence is outstreched, comes this bitter | arraignment The dawn of a new era is at hand and no single individual can check or con- | fuse this new spirit of humanity. | GEORGE LeWITT. | i | | | | | | to or any | more | | | GFRMANY UNREPENTANT.

German war-machine, heart, is hors de combat. had hade over forty years of prep- aration to do wrong: the Allles without any preparation. but that of the heart, successfully defended the ght; and right has gloriously triumphed over German might. Christians, the world over, thank God and the victorious nations who made the living sacrifice which made the great vicfory for world-freedom possible, But the German peaple scea to me not to be sorry for their crime. I doubt that official Germany today regrets anything but that she failed to accom- plish her diabolical purpose Doubtless Germany is in great need of aid; and, conscienceless as ever, she hesitates not boldly to call on America for the food nceded to save her from starvation. The armistice terms provide that the Allies supply Germany with what will meet her . cent need: but, disregarding the cificial arrangement made for their benefit, the Germans boldly make a special mesmeric appeal to prominent persons here for American sympathy. If Germany is really starving it might be well for the peaple, even before they whine for bread, to con sider well the first cause of their| present starvation. The suffering the | German people have thus far endured because of the war, has been self- imposed. Germany, as a nation, drew the sword against the whole unger- man world; then, Is it strange, that in her case, the Scriptural word shauld be proved true, that “he that taketh the sword, shall perish by the sword?” Germans, wearing spiked heimets, putting to the sword the innocent, in the name of war, must ever be con- sidered murderers; and a nation of murderers must at least be brought to justice in accordance with inexor- able law; the law, for whose violation the Hun imposed suffering not only on his own people who were guilty, but upon all the innocents in the world—and for the maliciously im- posed suffering of their innocent victims the German people must yet pay the full penal So far Ger- many has only suffered in committing the crime; she must still suffer for the malignancy and enormity of her offence. To my sense, Germany cannot be suffering too much to be grateful for her salvation from the cause of her | threatened starvation and her grati- tude belongs to the Allied world for | their having smashed the German | military monster whom Germans had | been secretly feeding for years, and | in their own time, let loose upona an | unsuspecting world. If the German people have learned | anything out of the sufferings of war, why do we not hear a word of ap- preciation for the coming liberation which the triumph of* right has/ forced upon them? Why not send a | special word of gratitude to the Allies for their terrible Emancipation Proclamation which has driven the Kaiser and his well-preserved family | from the throne of autocratic power | over them, before they appeal to President and Mrs. Wilson for food | for here sclf-preservation? | The war is over; but the after-| math special duties forced upon | the nations, still apears as an un ished problem an A great without a Germany of out own land, the great necessity of Americanization | ands out boldly since the war. The! fires under the American melting-pot | must never agin burn low. No time; must be lost n the purgation of all citizens, of everything forvign or un- American, There should bs no more Germans or citizens of any other! AW should | prove themselves Americans. No cfti- zen should be considered loyal to old glory unless his citizenship prove that his heart as well as his body is with us. The pressure Americanization must increase, diminish, with the post-war reconstruction activities. In other words: War is not over, but. with the cessation of carnal-weapon hostilities, the real war upon alienage has only begun; and the Americaniza- tion of all citizens is the goal to be reached, through the united efforts of all who value rightly the blessings For instance, in of not | | this of the brave. Bafore the war our nation was quite asleep to the great danger of the foreignizing elements which filtered into America carelessly or indiffer- ly from every foreign shore. Our national awakening has been shock- 1y rude. Let us naw iasist upon an undivided allegiance to the American standard. Those dho hiterto, in America, have called themselves Gen- mans, should be the first to forswear their German gods, of whatever or nature, whereby they might disloyalty. America stands for progress and reform. Foreign customs, habits, and societies, which cater to the personal and sensual, avre of no credit to America, whose institutions, our fore- fathers 1n their self-sacrificing struggles for hnerty. founded upon principle, the one safe basis upon which the nations of the world may build, individually, and collectively, to the benefit of all alike.
