The Jewish Year - book, edited by the Rev. Isidore Harris, M.A.

(Ginsberg and Co., 2s. 6d.), contains, in addition to the customary items of information, special articles, among which may be noted Mr. Greenberg's analysis and criticism of the Royal Commission on Alien Immigration. This is not the occasion for giving an opinion on the matter. We are glad to see that Mr. Greenberg fully acquits this country of any conscious Anti-Semitism, though he is quite certain that any legislation which may result from the Commission's Report is bound to be Anti-Semitic in its results. One point he unquestionably makes,—that the alien criminals do not come as steerage passengers, but in the saloons of steamers and the first-class carriages of railways.
