set of resolutions ,
The following
conned from the various sets sub-
mitted, embodying the formal protest
to be submitted to President Wilson,
was read by Mr. Abramowitz:
Text of Resolutions.
WHEREAS: apparently well au-
thenticated reports give information
that in the Ukraine the Jewish popu-
lation both young and old and of all
shades of political and economic opin-
ion is being subjected to ruthless per-
secution and denied the right of
property, liberty, health and life.
AND WHEREAS: the authorities
in the Ukraine seem unaware that the
best public opinion of the world and
Mankind in general is terribly
shocked at the outburst of race
hatred.
AND WHEREAS: the people of
the United States have in their midst
many peaceful citizens related by
closest ties with the persecuted Jews
of the Ukraine.
AND WHEREAS: the Jews of the
United States as well as all peoples
who have a spark of humanity and
decency within their hearts are deeply
moved by the reports of massacres,
rapine and cruelty.
THEREFORE: it is the sense of a
gathering of Detroit citizens in meet-
ing assembled in the City of Detroit
on Monday evening, November 24,
1919, that the senators from the state,
of Michigan and the Congressman
front the congressional districts of
the city of Detroit, and the )'resident
of the United States hr respectively
petitioned to take all steps in their
power to have the truth of the afore-
said reports investigated and to make,
the proper representation to the
Ukrainian Government and to bring
such other pressure to hear so as to
remedy the awful conditions should
the reports prove to be true and to
withdraw recognition and all support
both material and moral front the gov-
ernment of Ukraine unless conditions
are speedily remedied.
