tionality, the following colloquy en-
suing between them:
"You do not deny the Jews are a
race?" Mr. Cochran asked.
"That is a very different proposi-
tion," the rabbi replied.
"Well, they constitute at least a
Jewish family, do they not?" the
Catholic representative pleaded.
"Yes," said Rabbi Landman.
"This is even a closer relationship
than nation," said Representative
Cochran.
"Certainly," replied Rabbi Land-
man.
It Was observed that before the
hearing one of the Zionist representa-
tives begged Rabbi Landman earnest-
ly not to cause a "hillul hashem."
Rabbi Landman replied, however,
that he had a great duty to perform,
that of "telling the truth," and would
under no circumstances swerve from
his purpose.

Goldberg Opens Hearing.

The hearing was opened by Ab.
Goldberg, member of the administra-
tive committee of the Zionist Organ-
ization, who replied to an attack by
Professor Reed. Dealing with the
argument that Zionism violated the
rights of the inhabitants, Mr. Gold-
berg showed that the Arabs' national-
ist aspirations had been fully satis-
fied. lie also described the disturb-
ances he witnessed in Jerusalem dur-
ing the spring of 1920.
Representative Ansorge of New
York made a brief statement support-
ing the resolution, stating that his
constituency desired by acclamation
its acceptance.

The final session of the hearing by
the foreign affairs committee of the
Ilamilton Fish resolution recognizing
Palestine as the Jewish Homeland
was held on Friday, Dr. David Phil-
lipson of the Hebrew Union College
of Cincinnati speaking against, and
Louis Lipsky, general secretary of the
Zionist Organization of America,
pleading for a favorable report on
the resolution.
Rabbi Phillipson said he felt he
was speaking for a majority of those
comprising the 300 synagogues in the
Union of American Hebrew Congre-
gations, and a majority of the mem.
hers of the Central Conference of
American Rabbis, when he appeared
against the recognition of the Jew-
ish Palestine. Ile acknowledged,
however, that these constituted a mi-
nority of American Jews and that
some among them did favor Zionism.
Dr. Phillipson reiterated the anti-
Zionists' belief that Jews are nation-
als of the countries where they are
born, Jews being an international re-
ligious people and not a nation. That
"America is our Zion," and that Is-
rael's mission is to live among the
nations and to spread the truth of
God, were among the assertions made
by Rabbi Phillipson.
Continuing, Rabbi Phillipson as-
serted that he objected to the resolu-
tion as an American because it was
a "trap" to entangle this country in
Franco-British politics of the Near
East. In view of the differences of
opinions among Jews themselves, it is
not advisable for America to take up
cudgels for Zionism, whose worst as-
pect is that it accentuates the alien-
ism of the Jew in the minds of the
other people.
"Why, in God's name, should any-
thing be done to cast • reflection on

Arabs, who for 1,000 years lived in
Palestine, and that the Jewish situa-
tion will not be improved to any con-
siderable extent by the "old Pales-
tine business."
Secretary Lipsky met the argu-
ments of the opposition with a mass
of material, to which he referred in
the course of his two-hour speech.
Producing Emir Feisul's letter to
Professor Felix Frankfurter, written
during the Peace Conference, Mr.
Lipsky showed that the Arabs not
only knew the import of the Zionist
policy but through their chosen rep-
resentatives expressed admiration
and gratitude to Dr. Weizmann,
whose aid to the national aspirations
of the Arabs the Arabs eloquently
acknowledged.
Correcting many msistatementa by
Professor Reed and others, Mr. Lip-
sky said that American Jewry had
spoken through the Jewish Congress.
No attention should be paid to the
small minority of Reform Jews, who,
he said, in the last analysis are
prompted by nothing but selfishness,
fearing that their position as indi-
viduals would be hurt. The Reform-
ers' spokesmen are indifferent to
the fate of their agonizing brethren
and to the future of the whole Jew-
ish people. Mr. Lipsky called atten-
tion to distinguished Americans who
found no difficulty in reconciling
Zionism with Americanism. Ile placed
on record the essay on Zionism by
Justice Louis D. Brandeis, character-
izing it as the most comprehensive
from an American point of view. One
hundred editorials from leading
American newspapers approving of
Palestine as the Jewish Homeland
were also included in the records.
Wise Endorses Bill.
A telegram from Dr. Stephen S.
Wise was read by Representative
Ilamilton Fish endorsing in strong
terms the Zionist resolution and ask-
ing for its adoption by the Congress,
but expressing regret for inability to
attend the hearing.
Rabbi Morris Lazaron of Balti-
more, a Reform rabbi, who visited
Palestine last summer, preceded Rab-
bi Phillipson and eloquently pleaded
for passage of the resolution. De-
claring that the Arab difficulties were
being exaggerated, he said Arabs
want a large immigration to develop
the country.
Those favorable to immediate pas-
sage of the resolution include, be-
sides the majority of the members of
the House committee, Senator Calder
of New York. Representative Tilson
of New Haven, obviously inspired by
Professor Perry, is said to be the
only known opponent in the commit-
tee.
Representative Bourke Cochran, a
member of the committee and a lead-
ing American Catholic, has manifest-
ed an unusually sympathetic attitude
towards the resolutions. It is under.
stood on good authority that Mr.
Cochran has recently consulted high
ecclesiastical officials concerning the
resolution, which gives rise to the
inference that Catholic church circles
in this country have expressed their
approval.

Lipsky, Stone Speak.

At the brief hearing on Tuesday,
Louis Lipsky, general secretary of
the Zionist Organization of America,
made excellent use of the half-hour
at his disposal. Emphasizing the fact
that American Jews as a whole are
behind the movement to make Pales-
tine Jewish, he pointed to the advo-
cacy of the cause by the American
Jewish Congress, made up of dele-
gates elected by 340,000 voters. He
traces the political development of
the movement beginning with the
Balfour Declaration, the endorse-

Asked if it was not absolutely nec- ances of ex-President Wilson and
essary to open Palestine as • home President Harding.
Questions put to Mr. Lipsky by
for persecuted Jews, Rabbi Phillipson
replied: "Why not open all countries members of the committee included
to immigration? South Africa is one on the extent of the opposition
to the movement within Jewish ranks,

majority of the questions, however,
dealt with the practical possibilities
of development of Palestine.
Elihu D. Stone, assistant district
attorney of Boston, recalled the
favorable sentiments already shown
by the American people towards Zion-
ism, citing the adoption of the Zion-
ist resolutions by both houses of the
Massachusetts Legislature. Directing
attention to the cultural aspects of
