Russian Jews are facing the danger of pogroms, according to the London Daily Express, which published an article on its front page today from its Moscow correspondent. A headline reading “Russian Jews in the Shadow of a Pogrom,” is carried across the front page.
There is nothing in the article to substantiate the assertion, except the following statement made by the correspondent: “Stalin, the anti-Semite and anti-private enterprise dictator being in power, Jewish shops will be closed before long. Worse may follow. The pogrom of Kiev is only twenty-three years away.”
