Slanders Refuted

New York, Mar. 25.

A Sensational defence of Jews, and a plea for world tolerance for the race, have been made by Mr. Lloyd George.

"The malarial Insect whose poison infects healthy creatures with the fover of Jew hatred is buzzing in our ears to-day with the same vicious hum and deadly polson as ever It did in the days of Torquemada," he says in an article published in the American magazine "Liberty."

With scathing irony Mr. Lloyd Goorge contrasts the treatment of Jews in Christian and Moslem countries.

"Their oppression comes mainly if not entirely from nations who worship a Jewish prophet and who accept his great saying: 'Salvation is of the Jews' .. and yet these nations have all, in turn, persecuted the people from whom these great spiritual gifts emanated.

"What can be the explanation of the special and secular hatred conceived for the Jew among European peoples? Religious bigotry is responsible for some of the most brutal attacks made on the Jew in

European countries.

"But the root of the trouble is to be found in the determination of the Jews throughout the centuries not to lose their identity as a separate and distinct people.

"They seem to insist on preserving their individuality as un Oriental ination

This is revealed in the seventeenth annual report of the Imperial War Graves Commission.

Of the 1,104,890 British soldiers killed 587,117 have been identified and buried in war cemeteries. A further 180,801 have been found but are unidenüned,

"The critics of Judah forget that the Jew in the past endured more in countries like Russin, Germany, and even Britain (before the anti- sweating legislation was introduced) from social inequalities and industrial bondage on any other race."

Mr. Lloyd George emphasises the Jews' claim to be the chosen people of the Deity.

"There is certainly a warrant for the claim in so far as it refers to one period of their amazing carcer," he says.

MIS

America To Fight Lynchings

Washington, Mar. 25.

A coalition drive for early passage of a federal Anti- Lynching Law threatens to split the heavy Democratic majority in Congress along sectional lines over the issue of state rights.

Sponsors of more than 40 ponding anti-lynch bills contend that federal. ~ intervention to punish local officera who fail to prevent mob violence is neces- sary to stamp out "mob mur- ders."

FORCE ACTION

Sen. Robert F. Wagner, D., N.Y, Rep. Joseph P. Gavagan, D., NY. and numerous other democrats from northern states have joined with republicans in a drive to override efforts of southern democratie leaders to block congressional betion.

The only alternative, he' said, is for all states to follow the example of Virginia which passed a law 10 years ago making lynching an offence

against the state as a whole

and empowering the governor to use all the state's resources in convleting guilly parties. Virginia has had no lynching since the law went into effect.

Summers charged that the associa tlon's reports on the number of lynchings each year "are not depend- able." He cited the Tuskegee Insti- tute, famous Negro school in Ala- bama, ns authority for his statement that only nine persons were lynched in 1930 in contrast to the association's report of 13.

The rush to the altar will reach its peak in the week from May 10 to 17, which includes the Coronation and the Whitsun- tido week-end.
