Truth About the Jews of Russia

Some Remarks to My Critics.

By REUBEN BRAININ,
Dean of Hebrew Authors.

(Copyright, 1926, by Seven Arts Feature Syndicate, Inc.)
(Editor's Note:—This is the first of a series of articles by the
eminent Jewish author anti journalist on Jewish life in Russia. In
this article Mr. Brainin replies in most forceful style to those who
have criticized him for endorsing Jewish agricultural relief work in
Russia. The veteran Zionist leader gives the lie to those who insist
on seeing any conflict between the reconstruction work of Palestine
and the Jewish colonization work in Russia; he considers the latter
of the same urgency as Jewish relief work in Russia during the war.
The subsequent articles of Mr. Brainin will deal with his impressions
of Jewish life in Russia, in the cities and in the colonies, as he has
observed them during his recent trip through White Russia, Ukraine,
Crimea and Central Russia.)
