is partial, but Dr. Hertz’s might like-
wise be so. The Jewish colonization
scheme in Soviet Russia may mean
much, little or nothing, but it shows
that the Soviet government has. no
feeling against the Jews. There is no
purpose in denouncing the Soviet
Government, when we cannot help
the situation. I do not care for the
Soviets or the Communists, but we
must deal with the •actions of Rus-
sia’s tie jure government. The mo-
ment the Czaristic regime returns to
Russia, the daysof the Jews in that
country are numbered. I Would ad-
