(Jewish Daily Bulletin)
Recent sociological and political movements in America have demonstrated that the Jews, as well as other races and religious creeds, have been the butt of an inexcusable intolerance, declared Senator Edward I. Edwards, of New Jersey, in an address Sunday night before the Camden B’nai Brith at the Hotel Walt Whitman.
“Within the last few months we have had a demonstration of a cruel and inhuman race prejudice and intolerance on the floor of the United States Senate,” Senator Edwards said. “Unfounded charges were harled in the face of a religious sect who have done more to found and perpetuate American democracy and ideals than any other creed in the history of world civilization. I make this statement without the slightest fear of successful contradiction. Let the 100 percenters say what they will, there is no place in our institutions or in our lives for intolerance toward the Jew or any other race.”
