Ile answered: "There is It lot of
_
truth in Zangwill's belief. There is
no doubt in my mind that Israel has
played an immense role in the univer-
of the idea of human
ud
solidarity. Yes, it is their Judaism
that impelled them. The Jewish soul
has always been profoundly imbued
with the exigencies of a collect lee
duty and of the concrete and architee-
toi al importance, if I may say it, of
the idt•al of justice. More than 1111Ce

and he has evaded the temptations to
which other peoples were subject. Of-
ten he has, at a colossal price in blood
and suffering, reverted to the princi-
ples that are roughly in conformity
with his moral law.
"Yes, it is their Jewishness that
actuated them. For there is not here
in the world any collective force like
Judaism that has so eternally cony
bated idolatries of all sorts, including
the nationalist idolatry. Since the day
of its dispersion. the Hebrew people
have sown an aggressive seed for log-
ical reorganization in the whole world.
We would never have reached our
present state of civilization if the
Jews had not everywhere, for cen-
turies, opposed themselves to egoism
and local traditions, and if these same
Jews had not prepared the new world-

of justice, it will to tie just.
