worthy history of Jews in Russia and
Poland, stopping here en route for
hoo110, where he is to teach Jewish
history in the Lithuanian National
Univresity, gave the Jewish Corres-
pondence Bureau a most gloomy view
of the future of Russian Jewry.
It was neither the famine nor the
,old which impelled the historian to
leave Russia at this time, but what
he describes as the "isolation" from
the rest of the Jewish people.

papers content themselves with bald
reports, and the fact that they eschew
all commentary is in their case a
welcome signs. Alone among them
all, the official organ of the Vatican,
the Osservatore Romano, takes issue
with Zionism. Printing a report of
an address delivdered by Dr. Weiz-
mann in Rome, it adds an editorial
note seeking to controvert his argu-
ments. It declares itself unable to
agree with him that the Jews are cap-
able peasants and agriculturists, and
that they have always respected the
property and the rights of the native
population. It proceeds to a charge
that the Zionists want to subject the
Arabs in Palestine, and claims that
there is a strong anti-Zionist move-
ment in England which is growing
rapidly. The principal factor which
emerges from the whole situation, it
concludes, is that the Jews are try-
ing to create a duel nationality with
two Fatherlands, and all the benefits
which accrue from such a state of
things.
The Zionist Federation in Italy has
issued a statement to the Italian press
replying to the article on Zionism
which appeared in the official organ
of the Vatican, the Osservatore Ro-
mano, in connection with I)r. Weiz-
mantes speech in Rome recently.
The Osservatore Romano alleged that
Dr. Weizmann had said that Zionism
aimed at the transformation of Pales-
tine into a legally-secured state, to
which the Jewish people scattered
throughout the world should be joined
by political, ethical and religious ties,
so that all Jews should be subjects
of that state.
The Zionist Federation states: "Dr.
Weizmann said nothing in the speech
which he delivered in Rome about a
legally-secured Jewish state to which
the Jews of the whole world should
be politically bound, nor did he say
anything regarding dual nationality,
subjects to which Dr. Weizmann has
always been and is opposed. Neither
did he make use even once of the
word 'expropriation' in respect to
Arab soil. He has always considered
this unjust and unnecessary."
