It is known to some that American
Zionists are anxious for control in
the highest spheres of World Zion-
ism. Such spirit is to he deprecated.
No geographical group of Jews. either
because of its position or power or
wealth, may justly claim representa-
tion in the government of Palestine
affairs. Such appointments set a dan-
gerous precedent. The management
of the Jewish Commonwealth will for
years to come draw material from
extra Palestine sources. If today one
country asks a place in the manage-
ment, all may tomorrow. Obviously
this bars the choice of men according
to ability and according to the de-
partmental division of the work. On
this score also the naming of repre-
sentatives of the Poole Zion and
Mizrachi is open to criticism. If the
Poale Zionists were to become the
Minister of Labor, and the Mizrachi
Minister of Education, these appoint-
ments could be recognized as an ad-
mission of justice of the principles
of the two parties as regards the two
specified fields. But if these two Men
are to form part of a coalition and
merely guard the interests of their
constituents in world Jewry there is
bound to be disagreement and ineffi-
ciency.
This raises the question whether
there will be such a thing as definite
separate portfolios in the new com-
mission or cabinet. Naturally there
will be a division of work, but hith-
erto as much division as the commis-
sion possessed was not out general
lines. It rather amounted to gather-
ing stray, disconnected pieces of the
commission's activities and placing
them on various desks. Today there
is need and material for clear de-
marcation. It is not determined how
the Palestinian representatives will
he named, whether elected or chosen
by the local provisional committee
or by the incomplete commission.
Yet one may venture to suggest that
a local man be placed in charge of
Arab relations. Dr. Yellin immedi-
ately comes to mind. A local person
should be placed in charge of schools
and there is a local man who because
of knowledge and experience might
well be placed in charge of immigra-
tion. He is Mr. Ettinger. Dr. Rup-
pin, than whom there is perhaps no
one better acquainted with the work-
ingmen's conditions jnd desires and
