Hacked by Restrictionist..
Message from Ukraine.
Dr. Goldstein, in an eloquent ad-
dress following the dinner, brought
to Detroit Jews a message from their
Ukrainian brethren. He drew a pic-
ture of the condition of the Jewish
people abroad and demanded in their
name that the American Jews give
of their material wealth that the
doors of the Holy Land may be
opened to the Chalutzim who are
streaming to the borders of Palestine,
but who cannot enter because Amer-
ican Jewry has not yet supplied the
means of establishing industry and
commerce in the land.
Dr. Goldstein. addressed to the
American Jews the question of how
many of their children know and un-
derstand the Hebrew language, how
many of them learn and appreciate
Jewish culture, Jewish ideals, and
urged that they do not miss the op-
portunity of establishing a center
where the Ilebrew language will be
a living tongue; of building a home
where Jewish history will again be
made.
Two or three of the extreme re-

while the Jews are not a nation rep-
resented. When the Jews become a
nation in their own homeland, there
will be no more massacres, for we
will be represented in the League of
Nations. Massacres are made against
a defenseless people, and we are de-
fenseless because we are homeless.
We have friends in all countries in
the world but they cannot help us.
We must now help ourselves.
"We feel secure here because we
are prosperous. But there were other
times when Jews were prosperous in
many countries. The Jews were, for
example, in their highest glory in
Spain, but the reaction of the Span-
ish people took place in 1492, with
the institution of the Inquisition. Al-
though it was thought that an Inqui-
sition cannot re-occur because of our
civilization, yet it has been repeated,
in Moscow, Poland, the Ukraine,
everywhere.

Cherish Peace Ideal.
"We are not going to Palestine as
politicians for a political struggle, but
as agriculturists with the peace ideal
in mind. The Jewish people in Pales-
tine will never be a warring power.
It is established by an agricultural
people and these Jewish farmers will
never look with favor or war, be-
cause war kills their industry. No
agricultural neople are keen for war,
it is an admitted fact.
"It seems to me it is good Ameri-
canism for Americans to favor a Jew-
ish state. My idea of Americanism
is that of the pioneer spirit. Ameri-
cans are pioneers and Zionism is a
pioneer movement."
Dr. Goldstein followed Mr. Soko-
low with an address in Yiddish. "We
live in a great time, but the present
generation is smaller than our time,"
he said. "For 2,000 years we didn't
exist as apeople. For the first time
since the Balfour Declaration, the
nations speak of the Jews as a peo-
ple. This is a wonderful change and
a great era in our life. But this may
become a tragic event. If the Bal-
four Declaration had come in the
time of our grandfathers, if it had
been made 50 years ago, the answer
would be quite a different one. Our
grandfathers would not only pay the
tithe, they would not only give a
tenth of their earnings and posses-
sions; our ancestors would have given
more than Ma'aser. They would glad-
ly pay three times Ma'aser. Because
for centuries they dreamed and
hoped, looked forward to the day and
cherished the desire of seeing the
Holy Land rebuilt and rehabilitated.
Our ancestors would not have kept
the Gentiles waiting who have given
us a chance for Palestine."

Professor Warburg Speaks.
Professor Warburg spoke briefly
of the needs for Palestine and spoke
the concluding words at the mass
meeting in the interests of the Jew-
ish homeland. Immediately following
his address, II. Goldman, as chairman
of the Detroit Keren Ilayesod corn-
mittee, presented Mr. Sokolov., with
a check for $25,000 for the fund on
behalf of Detroit Jews. Mr. Baron-
dess again made the appeal for addi-
tional pledges and cash contributions.
The delegation was accompanied to
Detroit by Dr. Celina Sokolow, daugh-
ter of Mr. Sokolow and his personal
physician. Dr. Sokolow was enter-
tained by a number of Hadassah
members on Sunday afternoon at the
home of Mrs. Ralph Davidson. Dr.
Goldstein is the nephew of Mrs. Belle
Goldstone of Virginia Park, by whom
he was entertained during his stay
here.
Prior to his leaving Detroit, Mr.
Sokolow complimented J. Miller,
the Michigan state director of the
Keren Ilayesod, for his work in the
interests of the movement and urged
him on to greater efforts for the
cause.
