Henry Morgenthau introduced as ■
substitute a resolution which said
briefly that the convention favored
the physical reconstruction of Pales-
tine, but opposed all forms of Zion-
ism. This was opposed on the ground
that it would needlessly antagonize
Zionists. Dr. Silverman and others
made a hard fight to save the resolu-
tion, denying that any endorsement
of Zionism could fairly he read into
it, but the tesolution was tabled.

and that both committees were con-
vinced that it should be exempted.
Putting aside the question of neces-
sity Dr. Samuel Buehler said that the
use of the wine, as an ancient re-
ligious custom, should be exempt from
attack.
"Grape juice, according to Jewish
law, is not wine, and hence cannot
replace wine in the ritual," declared
Dr. Philip Klein, Rabbi, First Ilun-
garian Congregation of Oboe Zedek.
Dr. Jacobs, Rabbi of Montefiore
Congregation and Chaplain of Sing
Sing, suggested that instead of re-
voking the laws completely there
should be "stricter regulation and

How Can Such Fine Quality
and Low Cost be Combined?

Buyers at the Detroit Furniture Shops continu-
ally exprees surprise that furniture of such unusual
design, character and workmanship can be priced

so low.

The explanation is simple.

Furniture manufactured and sold through the
devious sales channels must bear a high percentage
of cost to pay for things useless as far as the buyer
is concerned—high shipping cost, high rents, and

high selling coat.

But by the unique method of marketing em-
ployed at the Detroit Furniture Shops, buyers'
money pays only for good materials, honest, sin-
cere workmanship, a trifling expense for our sales-
rooms located at the factory, and a moderate profit.

Is it any wonder, then, that we can produce fur-
niture of the finest made anywhere in the world,
and yet sell it at prices no higher than you are
asked to pay for the ordinary, carelessly made kind?

THE HOME OF ISRAEL

By REBECCA RUBIN

Israel, my people,
The triumphant blasts are blowing!
Ended are thy days of exile.
There stands a house with portals open wide
Toward which the weary wanderer wends his feet,
'Tis Palestine, thy time-forsaken home,
The home that hope sustained through endless years.

Israel, thy dreamings--
Wrought at last into the real,
Are they to fulfill the vision
Nurtured amidst torture and suffering?
What hopes and dreams are reared in vagrancy,
Have years of suffering thee nothing taught,
Art thou a Ghetto of Ghettoes to bulid?

Israel, thou'rt wiser,
Thou whose learning the world over •
'Een in the land of oppression
The progress of civilization sped;
Thou who hast witnessed nations rise and fall
Bast learnt the secrets of a land's success,—
The happiness that high and low unites.

Israel, thy homeland
Worked by hands of thy redeemers
Shall o'erflow with milk and honey;
From deserts shall wave fields of golden grain,
Thy hills with verdant vintage shall abound,
O'erladen shall thy orchards be with fruit,
The whole earth glad to yield to Israel.

Israel, thy homesteads
Let be built as garden cities,
Home and home with trees surrounded,
That little children shall in sunshine play
Breathing pure air of scented shady trees;
That Israel's sad countenance shall change
Into rejoicing and to happiness.

Israel, thy grandsires
Old and weary of long wandering
Glad at last to seek their homestead
Returning shall behold their land aglow
With plenty, and their children's voices ring
With laughter. Thus their hearts shall beat content,
To rest at home at last, to die in peace.

Let be built with thought of beauty;
Israel, thy bridges,
Towers, roads—all that a land needs,
And great shall be thy universities,
Thy learning ever great shall greater be;
From thee a light shall glow o'er all the world,
From every land shall Israel be blessed.

JABOTINSKY FIGHTS
LEADERS OF ZIONISM

Accuses Executive. of "Injurious

Tactics."

LONDON — (J. T. A.).—Vladimir

Jabotinsky's letter of resignation
made public compsomises a number
of accusations against the Zionist
leadership. He charges the Zionist
Executive with having refused to con-
eider the urgent plea of the National
Council of Palestine Jews, condemn-
ing the attitude of the Palestine Gov-
ernment toward the Jews, particularly
in having annulled the executive
powers of the National Council and in
failing to recognize the rights of the
Palestine Jews.
The Zionist Executive is further ac-

cused of not carrying out the decision
of the last Zionist Congress to send
a delegation to Sir Herbert Samuel
demanding a change in his present
policy. Mr. Jabotinsky, it now trans-
pires, desired to make clear to Sir
Herbert Samuel how his politico were
"damaging the collection of Zionist
funds abroad."
A resolution demanding the with-
drawal of the "anti-Zionist and anti-
Semitic officials" from Palestine, is de-
clared by Mr. Jabotinsky to have been
ignored, as was also his resolution
that the Actions Committee remain
true to lierzl's ideal and to the Basle
program.
Mr. Jabotinsky denounces the pres-
ent tactics of the Actions Commit-
tee and the "political weakness" of
the Zionist Executive whereby, he as-
serts, the movement is being led to
downfall and the Jewish work in Pal-
estine to bankruptcy.
