For an appreciable space of time the
Jewish community there will be too
weak to make use of its political in-
; hence, but this influence will grow
daily.
And it remains without question or
doubt that the colonization of Pal-
estine will be an enormous moral sup
port for all Jews scattered throughout
the world.
Asa matter of course, the anti-

, Semites will be enriched with a new
catch word. In every debate they will
immediately make use of : "Why don't

Well, never mind, if it comes to find-
; ing catch words, the Jew-hater never .
' runs short.
Jewish prestige will be considerably
strengthened when everybody will see
that a great part of the Jewish peo-
ple is occupied with productive work
on its 0,1 soil, and is fulfilling all the
duties which an independent national
life makes obligatory upon a national
community.

I have followed the beginning of the
new Jewish life in Palestine with the
greatest interest: the founding of the
colonies: the creation of the milder,
Jewish districts in Jaffa and in Haifa:
the rise of the Hebrew school system

doubt that all these will develop and
increase so enormously, that they will

Footnote:—Professor Joarhin Rein-
hart has this to say of the Trans-
lator: "The Danish of Georg Brandes
is, as we know, the foremost ever
written; nobody has reached him yet,
and nobody will ever surpass him.
The English translations of him so
far have always been unsatisfactory,
sometimes plainly bad. Miss Groth
easily surpassed the different English
ladies who 'turned' his 'Shakespeare'
into their mother-tongue, but she has
now been surpassed by Mr. Hartwig.
All we Danes that consider the style
of Itrandes as One of the wonders of
the world's literature owe great
thanks to Mr. Hartwig."

Up to the year 1914 there were
no people nearer to my heart than
the Poles. Very few people, also,
have shown me personally so much
sympathy. It was therefore a heavy
sacrifice that duty prescribed for me
when, in 1914, I felt obliged publicly
to denounce the behavior of the Poles
towards the Jews. I was naive
enough to believe that the Polish press,
which was acquainted with my intense
sympathy for the Poles, would pay
consideration to my complaint. It is
one of the saddest experiences of my
life that in to concern of such earnest-
ness, only vulgarities were forthcom-
ing by way of answer—and the hate

This deprived nie of much sym-
pathy which I had previously en-
joyed, having been uncommonly pop-
ular with the French, the Finns, and
the Poles. Nevertheless, for over 30
years I have been persecuted by the
Jewish press in different countries.
Again and again the most stupid
accusations were advanced against
me. As recently as 1910, when I vis-
ited the United States of America, an
anecdote went round the American
Jewish press that I had denied my
derivation before a Russian consul.
I never spoke with a Russian consul,
neither did I ever write to such a per-
son.
Seldom have I been mentioned in
Jewish publications without scorn and
hatred. Even my efforts on behalf of
the Jews of Finland were sneered at
the Jewish press.
I must furthermore point out that
very few can form a correct idea of
how difficult it is to intercede for "op-
pressed" Jews. On his travels, one
meets mostly with non-oppressed
Jews.
I wrote for the Russian Jews; the
paper was forwarded to the Alliance
Israelite in I'aris for publication. Its
appearance was frustrated by the re-
fusal to pay 150 francs to the trans-
lator. I myself asked no payment
whatsoever. The appeal was to be
published in a great Austrian paper,
to which in those days I frequently
contributed.
It was pigeon-holed. Later the
excuse- was made that there was too
much material on hand. The reason
obviously was some financial matter
in connection with the Roumanian
Government.

In later years my comprehension of
the Jewish question has become
greatly changed.
The Jews of Western Europe are,
in my estimation, hardly to be con-
sidered. Only in Eastern Europe are
Jewish masses of people to be found
in whom great creative power is dor-
mant, and they have a right to try
to constitute themselves a nation on
their own territory.
This I did not understand twenty-
two years ago, nor did I grasp Its
significance. When Herzl sent nie his
book, "The Jewish State," he wrote
asking my opinion. I answered him
in a rather jocular vein, citing the
following anecdotes:
"Frederick Wilhelm IV of Prussia
once asked the banker, Mendelssohn,
what he thought of the idea of letting

this Mendelssohn answered, ' I would

raised my voice on behalf of the
Russian Jews, and several times there-
after on behalf of the Roumanian
Jews. I was the first—not of French
origin—also before Clemenceau and
other noted Frenchmen, to fight
for the innocence of Alfred Dreyfus.
Six years I devoted to writing in be-
half of his cause. Then I championed
the cause of the Jews in Finland and
thereafter of those of Poland.
