S a pori visited the Gypsy section of Sofia and going into one of the
s ho ps, he was greeted by an ancient Gypsy, who, without preliminaries,
began thus:
"Gospodine, do not look at these rags to which we are now re-
duced. Things were not always as they are imw. Once upon a time
we, too, had a country and a great king, the Pharaoh. At that time
the Hebrews were our shaves. But they did not like to work. All
they did was to exchange and to hank money. Displeased with their
avarice and idleness, the Pharaoh wanted them to till the soil, the
way the Gypsy people did. Ile called the Hebrews to himself, gave
them grain and ordered them to sow it. But these people boiled the
grain first and then sowed it so that nothing came up but prickly
weeds. Pharaoh ordered them to harvest those weeds as it were
grain, and he made them thresh it with their bare feet,"

ply to the charge by Israel Zangwill
in an article published in last week's
Chronicle, written for the Jewish
Correspondence Bureau, entitled the
"Mexican Fiasco," that the American
Jewish Congress "has never investi-

nard G. Richards, executive secre-
tary of the congress, makes public a
letter written Mr. Zangwill on the
question, but which reached him only
after his article had been dispatched
to the United States.
Mr. Zangwill refers to a document
reported to be tiled in the Mexican
Ministry of Agriculture, to the effect
that the American Jewish Congress
telegraphed it would accept the of-
fer, provided it Was made officially by
President Obregon to the heads of
the organization. This, Bernard G.
Richards says, the congress is "sorry
to have to deny categorically. There
never was and could not be any defi-

"The Mexican proposal was first

soon reports appeared that Jewish
refugees stranded in different capi-
