PROFESSOR TELLS
OF BIRO-BIDJAN

Revolution Made the
Working Jews Free

Professor Charles Kuntz, formerly
of Columbia University,
fecturer on agriculture, brought to
fhe Wancouver public a picture of
fhe Soviet Union in his lecture on
“Biro-Bidjan and the Soviet
{nion.” He stated that GBiro-Bidjan
was a miniature reflection of the
Socialist Soviet Republics.

prominent

With an area larger than Bel-
gium and Holland combined, this
autonomous Jewish Republic. like

fhe other national republics, won its
right of establishment by the par-
ticipation of the Jews in the Revo-
Jution. There is no hegemony of
nationalities, but a hegemony of
pational autonomous republics. Pro-
fessor Kuntz cited the example of
Poland, in which the national minor-
ities have worse treatment than Po-
Jand itself had endured under the
Tzar. It was only by the phenom-
enon of revolution that individual
freedom had been brought about, he

stated. The Jews who were former-

SALMON ARM, Jan. 15.—During
December a camp worker
rested near here and charged with
false pretences, N.D-C. Owing
to his organizational he
was fired from one camp and forced
to resister under an assumed name
to continue existence, in another.
Within 48 hours he was arrested, re-
quested a remand, and was given
seven days. He asked for bail and
was allowed out on $500 bail which
two workers here in Salmon Arm
supplied. We gathered a*sood crowd
for his trial and this moral support
