Then the American people and Government would know that our radicals do not represent American Jewry and that their actions cannot possibly reflect the atttitude of American Jewry. Since, however, the Congress has not been convened, largely because of the short-sighted policy of many loyal Jews, there ts no representative Jewish body to counteract the evil effects of the policies of our radicals. As for the attitude and behavior of these radicals, the Jewish | Chronicle reminde us, “it is necessary to point out again and again| that they are not acting as Jews, but as Socialists, and that the sort of Socialism in which they believe has been imposed on them by the ruelties and barbarities of the old Russian regime.” “Every pogrom organized by the Government of the Romanoffs created many more Jewish Socialists and Anarchists than martyrs; it is not a sweeping statement to say that Nicolaus the Second’s Jewish policy drove thousands of Jews | into the arms of extreme Radicalism.
