video] the first opportunity since
the Russian Revolution for non-
Communist Jews to state their
point of view to the Soviet lead-
ers.
This opportunity has been
grasped by a number of Jewish
bodies in London which are par-
ticularly interested in Russian
Jews and their problems. The
J. P. S. correspondent is in a
position to report that the dis-
cussions are proceeding very
favorably and there is hope that
the Soviet Government will be
impressed by the Jewish views,
some of which it has heard pre-
sented without bias for the first
time.
Plan Anti-Semitic Legion
Formation of a Ukrainian Le-
gion, whose numbers will alleg-
edly embrace 50,000 men, has
been announced by the notorious
anti-Semite, Hetman Skoropad-
sky "to liberate Ukraine from the
yoke of the Jewish Bolsheviks,"
according to a story in Dielo,
Ukrainian daily published in Lem-
berg under Nazi auspices.
Called "Bogdan Chmelnitsky,"
the Legion is supposed to repeat
the Jewish slaughters which
made the name of Chmelnitzky in-
famous in Ukrainian history.

Urge Monument to Petlura

A monument to Hetman Simon Voelkischer Beobachter, Hitler's
Petlura, who instigated countless
pogroms during the Whiter Terror
in the Ukraine after the last
war, is urged by the Ukrainian
Nazi newspaper Shtshodeni Novo-
sti of Lemberg, which has opened
a subscription list for funds for
the memorial.
The monument, to stand in
Lemberg, is meant to portray Pet-
lura as a "national hero" of the
Ukraine, apparently in recognition
of the massacres he engineered
against Ukrainian Jewry. It is
estimated that 200,000 Jews per-
ished in pogroms instigated by
Petlura and other leaders of
bandit bangs.
The man who is the new "na-
tional hero" for the Nazis was
killed in 1926 by a Jewish vet-
eran, Sholem Schwarzbard, as an
act of vengeance. Schwarzbard
was acquitted by a French jury.
