Page 33 / normities of Antisemitism (Continued from page 9) The Southern Israelite tlK enate. The language in couched was moderate, and dignified in all re- which it pll-rcason . , as taken heed in endeav- T to n leem the wrong that has k . KunKl ia the seat of anti-Semitic \nd how such agitation is the interests of the State— paigns which are based on , al ion- as absurd as they are Zirelsohn has made a par- i anti-Semitism and pa- diows that the two move- _ are antagonistic: "Anti-Semit- . j > („,h the mask of patriotism.” Rabbi had difficulty in neluding his remarks as the Sena- interrnpted with hostile cries. He able, nevertheless, through the courageous energy, to re- the history of the anti-Semitic aaeineiit, and to protest against the otrodueti.>ti of anti-Semitism in the .• ilU T«.itie>. Take heed, he said, of • i H - consequences which are likely to •, s U lt on the day when violence and anaticisin are contemplated compla- : tiy. M Zirelsohn has been the butt of any attacks following his address :i which he daringly castigated anti- ■(miti'in as hurtful to the best inter- ots ut the State, from which he finally resigned. In his letter of resignation he con tinues to specify that he did not at tack the Rumanian people, as he was falsely accused of doing, but only the ferment of intolerance and hate which anti-Semitism. His resignation was accepted by a vote of 80 to 17. Unite recently lie made a protest at Municipal Council of Kishinov ii't the various iniquitous acts of e Rumanian administration in Bes- sarabia. As a result of this fearless attitude, the Mayor of Kishinev there- pon petitioned the Minister of the Interior to deprive this courageous of his office and Town Councillor. In Bulgaria, I regret to say, the anti- movement is also protected and encouraged by the government, principal plank of the political s of such parties as the Ku- n d especially the Rodna Zach- war on the Jews. These or- nis publish numerous press ar- nciting the mob against “for- ClgUrr. who, in their eyes, are chiefly and Armenians. At Sofia, at nid in several other Bulgarian many acts of violence have been tc-d and continue to be commit- ainst the persons and property ' whose plaints are ignored. The Macedonian Revolutionary tee has also joined in that re- • r y crusade against the Jews, liom it exacts ransom and whom r eats. More than once did I md jotted down—exact particu- statements of outrages and ■ s committed against peaceful ' I°r the sole reason that their hated by those bands of chau- fanatics, and also because they can be molested and robbed with im punity. I said that the government has been encouraging these misdeeds. Quite re cently there was fresh proof of that fact. Some weeks ago M. Bobockev- sky, the Minister of Commerce, ad dressing a public meeting at Roussa, declared that “the government intends to impose restrictions on itinerant trade, because most of the men en gaged therein are Armenians and dirty Jews”. That declaration, publicly and officially made by the Minister of Commerce, has called forth strong protests in certain newspapers; yet there is little doubt that, nevertheless, the declaration will be acted upon and repeated on every possible occasion. But it is quite impossible to make a list—for it would be endless—of all the iniquities and hardships to which Jew ish citizens are exposed in Eastern Europe. The many forms of iniquity, the constant vicious hostility, unfor tunately. may be observed not in the Balkans alone. In consequence of this, one can well understand why Jews have conceived the dream of reconsti tuting for themselves a concrete Fa therland. Rut it seems to me that the realization of a Jewish Palestine must encounter extreme difficulties: it is likely to result merely in the creation of one more British colony. At this time, however, T touch only slightly unon this grave problem. All T crave to say is that the world is about to trmscend—by an unprejudiced attitude toward economic and social realities ard problems—the stage of nationalism ar d direct its energies toward the ideal of internationalism. That great idea which must triumph in days to come—because it will serve tb; true interests of all humanity— hrs been very largely carried into the mind and the heart of mankind bv the spirit of justice and universalism which Israel has first conceived. Tome, there fore, it appears more logical and more in keeping with the laws of human evolution to expect the sanguinary absurdities of anti-Semitism to be put right by a rationalism and universal organization of all men. If interna tional society were based on the logi cal adjustment of service and work, on intelligent solidarity, the races could freely expand therein instead of sav agely fighting one another. flowers POTTED PLANTS FLORAL DESIGNS “Carnations Are Our Specials Reasonably Priced at Our Greenhouses Phone Cherokee 2506 Peachtree Floral Co. ‘We Cut Them As You Want Them 3184 PEACHTREE ROAD A RICHER FLAVOR for it is made with Milk Vflmta AMERICAN BAKERIES COMPANY E.
