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. and a Greater Service —The Result of An Idea T IS WITH pardonable pride that what we point to our growth as the triumph of an ide Our business is so young—yet our success is so apparent.
