which was given by President Grant
to Peixotto, before he left for Rou-

Grant said and would that those
words could be brought home to the
rulers of Roumania, the Cabinet,: as
well as the King and the Queen:
“ ‘Respect for human rightsis the
first duty of those set‘as rulers over
nations and the humbler, poorer,
more abject and more miserable a
people be,' be they black or white,
Jew or Christian, the greater should
be the concern of those in authority
to extend protection, to rescue and
redeem them.

over which will secure the same uni-

Even if all of these cherrge were
true, as they are manifestly false,
inasmuch as Christianity teaches
love, ’’forgiveness, pity, helpfulness,
and loving one’s neighbor, whatever
evidence of ill will exists between
Christian'and Jew forms a challenge

There is the psychological phenome-
non caused by “dislike for the un-
like,” because he dared to be him-
self and forms the mystery of the
ages in that he maintained his iden-
tity notwithstanding the loss of coun-
try., nationality, and priesthood.
There is the economic fiction. It
is claimed the Jew is rich, though
per capita he is the poorest people
on the fact of the earth. There is
the political charge that he is an
alien, though he was among the first
and remains among the last. There
is the theological dogma that he kill-
ed Jesus, and, as a result, is made
the villain in the Christian drama of
salvation. Scholars know the Ro-
mans, not the Jews, crucified Jesus.

law, the distinguished chairman of
the Senate Committee on . Foreign
Affairs, Charles Sumner, in empha-
sizing our duty to prevent some of
Roumania’s continuing anti-Jewish
persecutions, said that it was our
duty to take action ‘in the interest
of humanity and in that guardian-
ship of humanity which belongs to
'this great republic.’
“Hamilton Fish, one of the great-
est of our Secretaries of State, wrote
officially on May .13, 1872, in in-
structions to Peixotto, ‘Whatever
caution and reserve may usually
characterize the policy of the gov-
ernment in such matters may be re-
garded as inexpedienthen every
guarantee and consideratlon of jus-
tice appears to have been set at de-
fiance in the course pursued with
reference to the unfortunate people
referred -to.'
“It may be commented upon that
that is not diplomatic language, but
it was used because the requirements
were such as to necessitate 'it by 'one
of our greatest diplomats.
“At the Congress of Berlin in
1878, the President, Bismarck, re-
ferred to M. Waddington’s liberty
and equality provision and describ-
them aS ‘propositions which have in
view an advance in civilization and
against which doubtless no cabinet
will have objections in principle.’
“M. Waddington said in regard to
his propositions: ‘It was important
to seize this solemn occasion to make
the representatives of Europe affirm
the principles of .religious liberty.
He. added that Servia later he ap-
plied the same language to Rouman-
ia—‘who wanted to join the Euro-
pean family on the same footing as
the other. States, eught first ac-
knowledge the principles which form
the basis of social organization in
all the governments of urope, and*
accept them as a necessary condition
of the favor which he solicited.'
“In 1913, at the Congress of
Bucharest, M. Majorescu, the chief
Roumanian plenipotentiary, gave
specific guarantees Fere applicable’:
He said that the- inhabitants of any
territory newly acquired would have
without distinction of religion the
same full civil and religious liberty
as all the other inhabitants of the
State. Would that those guarantees
had been saved. 4
"Reference might be made also to
there, including Dr. Cyrus Adler.
which has put upon the books of In-
ternational Law and the rules for
governing the relation of hations,
the provision and principle that a
matter of religious persecutior is an
international affair at which all
countries have a right to speak out,
government and individual.
“Thia year marks the’ 150th anni-
versary of the first establishment of
religious liberty anywhere in the
world. It took place first in Virginia,
in June, 1775, in their splendid bill
of rights; a few months later here
in New York, in 1777, when the first
effective religious liberty 'clause was
adopted. What our people did at
home in safeguarding religious lib-
erty from an early day we attempt-
ed to do abroad also. Notwithstand-
ing our unwillingness to interfere
with what has often been called the
internal affairs of another country,
we have a proud record with regard
to efforts to prevent religious intol-
erance and persecution all over the
world. As far back as 1796, under
Washington, the Treaty with Tripoli
was drafted which stated that man’s
religious concern was no matter of
the government, and amity and good
will should prevail among all relig-
ions of the world and the countries
। in which they predominated. As far
back a 1840, a notable message was
sent at the instance of. President
Martin Van Buren, by his Secretary
of State Forsyth, -whith read that
the United States, being a friendly
power whose institutions, political
and civil, place upon the same foot-
ing'the worshippers of God of every
faith and. form, acknowledging no
distinction between the Mohamme-
dan, the Jew and the Christian. . . .
This distinctive characteristic of our
'government invests with a peculiar
propriety and right the interposition
of your good-off ices in behalf of an
oppressed and persecuted race, re-
ferring to the Jews at the time.

Minister to Switzerland de Voted al-

Hing Charles-of-Roumania,-- publish- -
ed a generation ago, we will seesday
by day the impression made, the
shame brought to his cheeks by pub-
lic expression of the opinion of the
civilized world at Roumanian and
| Russian atrocities. In this respect,
too, such meeitngs as these ver the
world'will answer a useful purpose,
though they may not induce a fa-
natic like Cuza to change his course.
But in another sense, too, such meet-
ings as these answer a useful pur-
pose. They show those government
officials of ours what the public sen-
timent, Jewish as well as Christian,
of the country is on such questions
as these. ,
“Our government has been re-
markably vigorous in its espousal of
religious liberty for the Jews in
America and for' religious liberty
throughout the world. We can turn
with pride to the action of President
Grant, referred to in appointing
Benjamin P. Piexotto nited States
Consul, in order to war against re-
ligious intolerance and persecution
in Roumania,
■ “We can point with "pride to the
fact that the United States Consul
to Austria in 1878, John A, Kasson,
was the first to urge publicly that
[ the Congress of Berlin of that year
should take up the matter of Jewish |
persecutions in the Balkan States..
We can turn with further pride to
the fact that Bayard Taylor, a dis-
tinguished author and . statesman,
then United States Minister to Ger-
many, records officially that the only
question which he considered him-
self as having a right toltake up in
. connection with the Congress of
, Berlin, as our representative abroad,
' was a matter of religious perscu-
■ tion, that he took up unofficially
> with the distinguished statesman who
J attended the Congress of Berlin.
1 “We have already heard reference
। made here to th vigorous note of
J Secretary Hay of 1902. We might
1 also have referred to the attitude

[ rest Conference of 1913 on that
' question. ■ More important is the vig-

tional laws and international affairs
which was-written at the Peace Con-
ference of 1919 in the form of the
minority guarantee provisions which
we invoke.
“If time permitted I would like to
read a cogent and emphatic message
in the famous letter written by Clem-
enceau,-as chairman of that confer-
ence, to Paderewski, the President
of Poland! directly applicable and
showing that the fundamentals of civ.
ilization are involved and require
each’ State, in the matter of relig-
ious persecution, to make that its
concern when it occurs in another’
'offending State.
“The United Staes has not joined
the body, though a party to that
treaty, which was specifically called
upon to enforce them, but its duty
remains as before, following its prec-
edents, to speak with no uncertain
voice in protest at the horrible atroc”
ities that are. occurring in Roumainia.
“Let us hope that these prece-
dents, so cherished in our own his-
tory, will be observed at this junc-
ture by your government."
The following main clauses of the
resolution adopted by the mass meet-
ing were written into the document
on the basis of the precedent estab-
lished through the B’nai B’rith:
“We urge our government to heed
the instructions given by President
Grant to the United States Consul to
Roumania, Peixotto, aS far back as
1870, with respect to our govern-
ment’s insistence that such infrac-
tions of law, justice and order stop,
in the course of which he said:
L’Respect for human rights is the
first duty of those set as rulers over
nations and the humbler, poorer,
and more abject and miserable a peo-
ple be, be they black or white, Jew
or Christian, greater should be the
concern of those in authority to ex-
tend protection, to rescue and re-
deem them. The United States know-
ing no distinction between her own
citizens on account of religion or
nationality believes in a civilizaton
the world over whch will secure the
same universal views.’
“We urge our State Department
to take such action compatible with
diplomatic dignity as will impress up-
on’the Roumanian Government the
desires of the American people for
the just and humane treatment of
all minority groups in Roumania,
whether Jewish or of Christian faith,
and for the preservation of such a,
spirit of tolerance and conciliation

The Jew contributed much to the
democratic ideal, though his early
form of government was theocratic.
Is it too much to say that “demo-
cracy without an implied theocracy;
that is, a belief in God over all, can-
not stand? Oscar Strauss, in his.
book, “The Origin of the Republi-
can Form of Government, in the
United States,” traces step by step
how the early colonies modeled their
government upon the ideas of the
Old Testament.
. Judaism is the mother of religion.
She gave to the world two splendid
daughters, Christianity and Moham-
medanism. The influence of the
mother upon the daughters is so
great that, without understanding
the on, it is, impossible to under
stand the other two. In addition,
is it a small thing to have given to
the world the character, the' per-
sonality and the•teachings of that
man, that rabbi, and that Jew whom
so many non-Jews call their Savior”?
The Jew gave to the world what
is ultimately the. best solution of
the war problem: '“The work of
righteousness shall be pedee'and
the effect thereof quietness and se-
curity. forever." Then oly will it
be possible for “swords to be beat-
en into plowshares ' and spears into
pruning hooks.” ■
