Executive Committee of the World November 25, 1921 Cheshvan 24, 5682 Democratizing the A. J. C. We recall vividly—yes, we can say in truth—with painful vividness the formation of the American Jewish Committee. We assumed the leadership in the fight against the manner in which the Committee was formed, predicted as said at that time upon rather an unrepresentative system of selection. We remember, as perhaps many readers of this journal will remem- ber, the storm that raged over this issue. And we came in for criticism that was sensational in its severity. Many prominent Jews (not on the Committee) were inclined to side with us on the position we had taken that no group of 50 men had the right to represent even by inference the Jews of the United States; that they had no right even by inference to speak for the Jews of this country, because the members of the Com- mittee had been arbitrarily chosen. But the storm passed over; disappointments were buried, and the Committee went along its appointed course and has done splendid work. Of course all of us feel that we could possibly have improved on some of the work they did; but everything considered a record of ex- cellent service to Jewry has been achieved. Now comes an interesting thing. We find in reading the reports of the meet- ing of the Committee held recently in New York that a resolu- tion was introduced that the members of the Committee, instead of being selected by the Committee itself, be elected by the Jews of each district who contribute to the support of the Committee. This item se know will be read with considerable interest by those gentlemen who were the first to criticise the Committee at the time of its formation because it was a selected rather than an elected body. It may be that the standard of the personnel may not be so high under the new system of selection now; we don't pretend to know; we have our own ideas on the subject for reasons that will reveal themselves later on we prefer to hold our opinion in abeyance. But strange as it may sound we believe that the American Jewish Commit- tee will regret that they ever made a change. Can You Visualize This? Zionist Organization, president of the recent World Zionist Congress at arlsbad, and Zionist representative at large, of whom a Cardinal of the Vatican, believed to be Gasparri, said: "The representative of 'Zionism, Mr. Sokolow, above all, will never find closed our bronzed door." Ile was as- sociated with Dr. Weizmann in the heavy task of negotiating the Balfour Declaration, and was one of the medi- ators between French interests in Syria and British interests in l'ales- tine. Nahum Sokolow is a brilliant He- brew publicist, a veteran of Hebrew journalism, and founder and editor of Hazefirah in Warsaw, the leading Hebrew daily in Diaspora, the publi- cation of which is continued iss this day, due largely to Sokolow's tena- ciousness, determination and undyin g love of Hebrew word. tie is a noted Hebrew author and is loved and fol- lowed by all to whom the Hebrew language is not a sealed book. He is a subtle orator, a pleasing, lovable personality; ingratiating, yet withal a proud and consistent defender of Jewish rights. As chairman of the Committee on Jewish Delegations, he had the op- portunity of being the spokesman at the Peace Conference of the tortured Jewish masses in the lands of perse- cution, besides appearing with Dr. Chaim Weizmann and Mr. M. Ussisch- kin as the official representative of the Zionist organization in pressing before the Peace Conference the Jew- ish title to Palestine. It is due as much to hint as to any living man that allied statesmanship recognized the justice of the Jewish claim and put its stamp of approval upon the Britidt teivernment's promise to fa- cinche the establishment of the Jew. 1, V„!inhal Home in Palestine. hu„ hh „ Issilow is is, ent„),,•r t•„ an Jews, having first visited this cent ry in I, when his left the impre„ „ t his em s e,m ht e , sin ,•rite and y :111 /h•d . /Old hod 11 o 1,1';11, Do you pride yourself on your imagination?

(Chicago Israelite.) Frem all accounts the hostility of the Arabs to the Jews in Palestine, and more especially toward the Zion- ists, did not originate among the com- mon people, of whom, according to a correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph, "the large majority are illiterate, economically independent and politically passive." These are guided and led by a minority of about 30 per cent of the Arab population, consisting of "the ruling classes, the landlords, some of the influential Sheiks, the big trailers in the towns, the clergy who have economic and lc-Rival as well as spiritual power, and finally the members of the prof•s- sional classes, who are, generally speaking, the faithful servants of the' ruling classes," and it is this minority "which alone is really articulate." The Telegraph's correspondent says: "The aim of these men is primarily to maintain the position which they held in the good old times under Turk- ish rule. And, indeed, the passionate longing for the Turkish spirit and system of administration is obvious, and is sometimes openly expressed in the press and in memoranda present- ed to the British and Palestinian authorities. This longing for the past is not unnatural; the families of the Palestinian Arab notables have in- herited their power and influence, front generation to generation, arca-. pying the position of the de facto rulers of the country. The Turkish officials who were sent to the remote province of Palestine were incompe- tent, half-educated men. Far from being interested in anything like help- ing the population and developing the country, they simply sought to obtain for their (twit pockets as much as they could squeeze out of local re- Sou - CUs. The notables themselves, after winning over as newly-appointed administrator, made of him a servile tool fur their appetites. A maxim of "do ut des" was thus established. The official, supported by the most influ- ential personages of the locality, had free hand to exploit his position as hest he pleased."

So much comes out of Europe that is so garbed that we are inclined to view most of it with suspicion. But this is a good story and the thought contained in it is worthy of being brought home to Jews the world over. Dr. Rosenberg, the director of a large English bank in Vienna, Austria, was Offered the portfolio of Finance Minister—but there came such an outcry from the populace (exactly the same sort as that now being raised by Christian ministers in the United States against the appointment of Rabbi Kornfeld as Minister to Persia) that the government. was forced to withdraw the offer to Dr. Rosenberg. But Austria needs hint so badly that a new office of Extraordinary Minister. was created. But Dr. Rosenberg considered the whole bu a slur upon the Jews and he refused point blank to agree any such subterfuge to save the faces of the anti-Semiti• party. The Jewish press as will as the liberals of Vienn. have heartily endorsed his position. Austria, of all countrie , surely has an unmitigated assurance to call upon its Jews in such a manner for help when the government at one thin t% thinking seriously of permitting a world anti-Semitic con;;;mi to be held in Vienna. A fete more Jews acting like Dr. Rosen- berg will be of help to the Jews of the former Central Empires. Germany though is the worst offender; they lampoon the Jews; they villify; they create political issues over them. and they at- tempt to discredit them throughout the world. and at the end they are forced to call upon the Jews to help them out of their mess. Stinnes is a Jew baiter—and it is interesting to remind ourselves that he was one of the greatest profiteers the war has produced anywhere in any country. But when Stinnes wants some expensive chestnuts pulled out of the fire he always calls in the Jews that he hates so much. Glad to Hear It. A priest whose name we have forgotten (though it will probably rank in history with that of Baron Munchausen) has just returned from Poland and search as he might he reports that there isn't a single starving person in all of Poland. Now this is very. very entertaining and heartening to say the least. Why that is a better record than even New York can produce. the very city in which this remarkable priest gave out this very remarkable interview. We are certainly very glad indeed to learn that Poland has returned to "normalcy" and that no one is in want. Perhaps the good priest did not visit the Jewish quarter in the cities. Sounds Fishy. We are not personally acquainted with Mr. Balfour but we question very much whether he held such a conversation as is reported to us via Zionist sources.
