They are placed in the class that are satisfied with "just as

tinue to Cal themselves Zionists, un-
less they join the existing Jewish
munity in Palestine. For them, as
for all other absentee workers, includ-

Zionist is the maximum term possi•
ble. That was the condition laid down
by the Balfour Declaration, formulat-

case of Palestine, that the Territorial

the only feasible political formula for
any territory, to wit, that it was to

With the acceptance of the Balfour
Declaration by Zionists t au anti-Zion-

have disappeared from the Diaspora;
and if there is pathos in the inability
of the Zionists to grasp that their

But I believe that in the actual po-

Never Before Such Values
in Enclosed Cars

With the.attention of motorists centered
9n enclosed models the wonder of the
good Maxwell values at the new reduced
prices grows greater day by day.

People have discovered that all that was
true of the touring car at '795 is equally
true of the Sedan, the Club Coupe or any
other enclosed or open model in the good
Maxwellakne.

Never before have skill, experience and
unlimited resources united to give the
dollar such amazing purchasing power.

That principle of "Safety First" ICC
Kaye-tried for nigh two thousand
years, and the result is an absence of
safety whose only parallel is among
the hapless Armenians. To add insult
to injury, the world still attaches to
us the stigma of Shylock,

Such a stigma comes indeed
strangely from a world whose chief
concern is now with reparations.
Viewing the nations, as one should
sometimes do through a diminishing
lens to get the trite proportions, how
meanly one would think of two house-
holds, ready to sacrifice even their
unborn children to a quarrel over
dollars—Shylock himself repudiated
the offered gold in a sublimer sav-
agery.

But the world's contempt for the
Jew is not wholly undeserved. A peo-
ple, a faith, in so parlous a situation,
lives not under peace conditions, but
under war conditions, and the stand-
ard of duty exacted from every Jew
is not a peace-standard but a war-
standard. How high that was you
know from the sunsuits of sacrifice
to which American Jews, no less than
American Christians, rose in the late
war. To this war-standard a small
minority of Jews have lived up—or
are now trying to live up—a Bent,
a Nordau, a Woltsohn, a Marmorek, a
Baron Hirsch, an Israel Friedlander,
a Bernard Cantor, a Jacob Schiff, a
Mayer Sulzberger. I have mentioned
only the dead. But even at the risk
of invidious distinction I must name
Baron Edmond de Rothschild and
two of your own philanthropists
whose beneficence particularly appeals
to me, because it has this feature in
common that it transcends racial
boundaries and is thus peculiarly
Jewish. One is the supporter of
Negro education, Julius Rosenwald,
and the other is the titan literally
overflowing with the milk of human
kindness, New York's best citizen,
your beloved president, Nathan
Straus. Had every Jew lived up to
the Straus war-standard, the .Jewish
status today would have been very
different. But even the faithful few
have not done enough. About the year
'70, Jo•hanan hen Zakkai, escaping in
cetlin from beleaguered Jerusalem
to save Israel on purely religious
lines, turned the people he thus para-
doxically kept alive into the Despised

born millions to crucifixion and mar-
tyrdom. Such great historic disasters

VER since the world was young, fine furs have been the pride of royalty,
the badge of culture and the mark of refinement. And, today, they stand
supreme—the symbol of all that is finest and best.
Precious through the ages has been the vogue for raiment of Broadtail, of
Alaska Seal, of Mink and of Kolinsky. Today, the splendor and opulence of these
magnificent furs, their elusive quality of age•old beauty and their subtle spell of
lands beyond the seas, have been translated by our master designers and by our
master craftsmen into luxurious coats, exquisitely modelled into masterpieces of fur
fashion.

In a season where beautiful designs, rare craftsmanship and essential quality are
accented as never before, these lovely and inimitable Annis creations maintain
their makers' reputation for leadership in quality and style.
