“In creating Blro-Bidjan as a
Jewish autonomous state in Russia,
communism subscribes to the Zionist
dictum that there can be no solution
to the Jewish problem without the
Jewish possession of actual territory,”
said the rabbi. “By its restrictions,
however, communism nullifies the
whole idea. We find that communism

when they are willing to sacrifice their

Report on Race Superiority .
Is Suppressed in Moscow
I 87 the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, December 26.—A politi
cal-scientific controversy between pro
ponents and opponents of the theory
that some races are superior to others
—which orthodox Marxist doctrine
rejects—attracted wide attention In
Moscow today.
It centered In the all-union congress
of psychiatrists and followed suppres
■ion of a report to the congress deal
ing with this theory.
It was charged that G. N. Kaminsky,
commissar of public health, had In
fluenced congress officials to destroy
the report to prevent circulation of
an attack on Prof. Solomon G. Levlt,
who was recently expelled from the
Communist party and denounced as
a “false scientist" by the official press
because he defended the doctrine of
racial superiority.
Levit, head of the famous Medleo
Genetlc Institute, and well known in
American scientific circles, recently
stirred up a controversy in scientific
circles by his acceptance of what or
thodox Communists call the "Fascist
theory of race superiority." He wag
attacked because his views on biologi
cal determination among races, the
role of heriditary traits and biological
explahations for crime were contrary
to Marxist doctrine.
Prof. M. B. Krol in a contribution
to the suppressed report denounced
Levit and called for a "merciless fight
against such false science." One thou
sand copies of the report were seized
at the printer's and destroyed.
Scientists meeting In the psychia
trists’ congress warned against ac
ceptance and admiration for “such
Fascist racial nonsense." Pravda, or
gan of the Communist party, severely
criticized Kaminsky for defending
Levit.
Accidents Kill 100,000 Yearly.
Statistics show that each year some
100.000 persons are killed and 0.500,000
injured in accidents In America.
