With the new states that owe their
existence or aggrandizement to the
good will of the Allied Powers, the
latter have dealt somewhat more au- I
thoritatively. They have inserted in'
the peace treaties, which constitute
the fundamental charters of the
states, clauses prescribing respect for ,
the rights of national minorities.
These articles should in reality bring I
about the full emancipation of the 1
Jews and their equality before the'
law with all other citizens of the sev-
eral countries. But the governments;
lot the new independent states estab-
; listed by the grace or the peace con-1
ference, demurred As long and as ob-
stinately as was possible againat this]
