Biro-Bidjan

Soviet Russia's contribution to the problem of what to do with the world's spare Jews is to transplant them to virgin soil in the Soviet Republic of Biro-Bidjan, insulating the Trans-Siberian Railroad from Japan's puppet State of Manchukuo. In the event of Russo-Japanese hostilities Biro-Bidjan will be "the Jewish Belgium," and smart Bolsheviks count on world publicity for "Japanese Atrocities" in Biro-Bidjan.

Last week, speaking at a Manhattan banquet of the American Committee for the Settlement of Jews in Biro-Bidjan, ruddy, banjo-eyed Soviet Ambassador to the U. S. Alexander A. Troyanovsky skipped lightly across History and Political Philosophy. He quoted Abraham Lincoln as to how often one can fool all & some of the people.* He unearthed the fact that Russia's Empress Catherine II was disgusted by the American Revolution and refused to recognize the U. S. He said that the U. S. Declaration of Independence was the "first official recognition of the equality of all human beings, including the Jews." Although most Communists are outspoken against Fascists, Comrade Troyanovsky digressed to praise Benito Mussolini for "not dishonoring himself by anti-Semitic words or deeds."

As for Jews in Soviet Russia, Ambassador Troyanovsky attacked the legend that they control the U. S. S. R. Said he: "This would not be discreditable if it were true. It happens not to be true. It is enough for me to say that Stalin is not a Jew, nor is Molotov, nor Voroshilov, nor Ordjonikidze, nor Mikoyan." Encouraging the banqueteers to subscribe $350,000 for Biro-Bidjan Jews, he explained that the Soviet's fee of $200 per family for setting up Jewish immigrants in Biro-Bidjan with land and equipment for farming was less than cost.

* Some biographers disagree with Ambassador Troyanovsky; they would attribute this remark to Phineas Taylor Barnum.
