Scope and content
Newspaper clipping depicting page 1070 in Volume IV - Issue 65 of the New Series in The SAJC newspaper circulated on 29 December, 1911. This is the ninth page in the Collection of 20 consecutive pages preserved from an early Issue of the SAJC.
This page consists of a continuation of the Jewish Diaspora section of this Issue of the SAJC. With this Issue of the newspaper being the final one of the year, this section is a Special Edition as it summarizes the work of the Anglo-Jewish Association, which reports on the position of Jews throughout the Diaspora. This is specifically a forty year celebration since the beginning of the Association, which is being praised for vigilance and raising awareness, and for the "benevolent" British Government. The article claims that the scenario for Jews in the areas in question has greatly improved, with acknowledgement of Russia and Rumania as exceptions.
The Diaspora Special Edition section continues at the start of this page with more countries included under the miscellaneous section for Jews "In Other Lands". Two countries included here are Canada and Russia. The Canadian report is short and briefly mentions raising funds for a school is Jerusalem. The Russian report is more extensive, due to the complex and hostile situation for Jews in Russia at the time. The majority of this section describes a "blood charge" against Jews in Russia, evidencing the horrendous state of affairs for Jews under the Russian Empire. Interestingly, there is a link between this article and an earlier one in this issue that was called "An Enemy of Israel Removed". Here, some good news is reported in the sense that an anti-Semitic Major-General in Odessa, a province of the Russian Empire, was dismissed. This Major-General Tolmatcheff has been documented in other sources as enacting various orders and proclamations that limited the rights and freedoms of Jewish folk in Odessa, including restrictions on Jewish religious practice, and unfair taxing of Jews to pay for oppressive policies against their own people.

The remaining content on this page falls under the heading of "Stage, Song, & Show", which is a column in the SAJC that details culture, art, theatre and performative news of interest to Jewish folk. Of note is a notice about a playwright's position on the "Jewish question" in Palestine, titled "Zanwill's View of Zionism", which this newspaper regards as a disappointing display of opinion by this playwright. Other articles are about a play, some artists, a troupe, and a sister act. This column continues on the next page.
