imority Zionists Sroiipt About Palestine Mandate Role. Played by Brandeis, Mack and Associates in Connection with Historic Document Revealed
Congress Given Privileges Concessions in the way of special privileges, made --by. city officials of Carlsbad, Czecho-Slovakia in behalf of Zionists attending the World Congress, this week, have more than usual significance in the light of information recently given by an Omaha girl, as to the manner in which' Jews are generally treated in the new !zech republic. • The Omaha girl was Miss Catherine Gavin, daughter of P. T. Gavin, 1602 Military avenue,' who was home for a brief visit last week, after three years of "Red Cross work in Prague, the capital of Czecho-SIovakia. •"The Czechs have no love for the Jews, whomthey regard with special disfavor :because of their commercial success. -They accuse them of war profiteering and treat :with greatest contempt the orthodox Ruthenian Jews, whom they consider a narrow and fanatical sect," she said. In view of this statement, the Czechs must indeed recognize the world-wide importance of the Zionist Congress to have consented *-> the privileges mentioned in news dispatches.
