It’s a shame to seize any man and toss him into jail. We’re always yelling about the Constitution. But the ones who make the loudest noise are usually those who misinterpret it for their own ends. The American people have lost interest. Seeking for power, for individual glory and hyper-comfort they are neglecting the things for which the great idealists who made this country pay so dearly. And Jews, the lawgivers; Jews, vehicle of the law, are found, nearly every man-jack of them, among this indifferent, careless mob. That’s a great shame. You ought to change it. What this country needs is a change of heart, a change of ideas. What we want is ideals, and not bluff! We’re ignoring the great principles which make happiness in life assured and possible. For one thing we’re each seeking a justice which is for the one, as against the all. It’s a pitiful thing 1 Organized society isn’t function ing. Organized society means every body.

Austrian Socialist Chief Says Rich Austrian Jews Prefer Class Protection to Race Protection New York.—The Jewish bankers and big industrialists in Austria seem to pre fer the protection of their class rather than their race, for they do not hesitate to give their financial support to the obviously anti-Semitic Austrian-Fascist organization, “Heimwehr,” was the state ment made by Robert Danneberg, pres ident of the Viennese Landtag, after his arrival in this country.
