“Our ship is the first to enter Libau on a peaceful mission since the
war, they say. At any rate, our arrival has caused a great excitement,
on account of the food cargo we have for these people. At present we are
tied up to a quay, in a narrow stream that seems to be also a sewer.
Unloading our flour is a ticklish piece of work, due to the terrible
hunger of the crowd that watches us. Whenever a bag breaks, people fight
to scrape up the loose flour, which they put into cans along with a good
portion of dirt that is mixed into it ... Everyone has a tin can and at
noon there was almost a riot over a bucket of potato peelings that were
tossed into the water. The people tied strings to their cans and went
fishing for the peelings. They stand all day and beg us for food ... It
is not a very pleasant sight—this crowd of emaciated, white-faced men
and women, and big-eyed children.
“The most damnable thing about it all is the dozen Jews who flit like
magpies through the crowd. They are young, soft, well-groomed and
prosperous. They carry canes, wear new straw hats, and resemble the kind
you see in the States. They have nothing in common with the other
people. They have money, plenty of it, and they seem to think this ship
is a floating pedlar’s cart and tobacco store. They come up to the
gangway and wave British five-pound notes in the air, offering them for
a carton of cigarets. Or, they have gold watches that they will trade
for a few pounds of soap. From the looks that other people favor them
with, I do not wonder that we hear about periodic slaughters of the Jews
in Russia. These fellows look too prosperous in comparison with the rest
of the population to suit me.”
The peculiar character of Jewish cruelty in Russia is so little in
accord with the character of the Jews as we propagandized Americans have
been taught to conceive it, that even THE DEARBORN INDEPENDENT, in its
desire to present a consistent account of Jewish activities as they
relate to the United States, has not opened this special phase of the
study of Jewish psychology. The Sadism displayed throughout the Russian
Terror has been discussed briefly in “The World Significance of the
Russian Revolution,” by George Pitt-Rivers.
There is, however, American Jewish testimony on the same point. It is
found in the April, 1921, number of the _Hebrew Christian Alliance
Quarterly_. In an article entitled “Persecution Is Not the Monopoly of
Christianity and Is Contrary to Its Principles’,” the Rev. M. Malbert,
B. A., of Ottawa, Ontario, says:
