To the Editor, Jewish Daily Bulletin:
I wish to thank you for the accuracy with which you have rendered my comments on the Jewish situation in Poland, published in the Jewish Daily Bulletin of Sunday.
However, there is one phrase which your very able reporter omitted from the interview, which rather distorts my view on Pilsudski, and I would appreciate very much your correcting it.
In the paragraph headed “Situation in Land Bad,” your reporter quotes me as saying “It was wrong to call the Pilsudski regime an open dictatorship. I did say that, but have added the words “the way Hitler’s is.” By omitting the reference to Hitler, one gets the impression that Pilsudski is not a dictator. Well, he is, and a very strong one at that.

To the Editor, Jewish Daily Bulletin:
I have been a reader of your paper for several years and can truthfully state that it is the ideal newspaper for every Jew, Jewess and justice-loving individual.
The inspiring editorials by Herman Bernstein are a fountain of worldly wisdom. The Jewish Telegraphic Agency service is unquestionably beyond comparison the foremost agency for accuracy and timeliness of world Jewish events.
I have no doubt whatsoever that the Jewish Daily Bulletin played a very large part in informing the world of the barbarism that is being instigated by the present regime in Germany and has led world opinion to “crack down” on Haman Hitler, Goering and Culprits, Inc.—and now—perhaps I am misjudging, and I hope I am, it is evident that the Austrian government is embarking on the same boat as its neighbor, Germany.
With all its ra-ta-ta and ballyhoo and its great purge against its Nazi element, it is nevertheless taking the road to ruin by dispossessing its citizens from responsible positions for the one and only reason—because they are Jewish.
The question is—will Jewry have to contend with a boycott against Austria ? To my mind, the answer is—Yes.
It is evident that international Socialism and trade unions are boycotting Austria.
We Jews have no other alternative. As a liberty and justice-loving people we have to prove to the world our high ideals in the principle of brotherhood wherever and whenever democracy is destroyed and where Chauvinism raises its ugly head.
To the Biblical injunction: “To do justice, love, mercy and walk humbly with thy God,” let me add one more phrase, and that is to “obliterate despotism.”
