Washington, D. C, Dec. 13. Immedi

"For nearly half a century Russia
has persistently refused to live up to
the treaty and recognize passports of
American citizens without discrimina
tion. We cannot, tolerate this Injus

which civilization stands. This is not
specifically a Jewish question. It is
a question of rights of American citi

Issued to Baptist missionaries and to
Catholic priests. This matter must be
settled definitely once for all. A new
treaty must be arranged one without
