that "no amount of invective can wine out his (Mr. Lip-

sky's) services to the Jewish people." Dr. Weizmann

also appealed to the opposition leaders to consider

whether they could not achieve their ends without re-

sorting to a type of warfare "which is devastating to a
movement like ours," and called upon them to adopt
"other and better methods than those which they have
been applying."

Every one of these graduates is a potential Jewish

leader. Also, every one of these graduates may, po-

tentially, be an indifferent Jew or Jewess. The exper-

ience of previous years teaches a sad story. Immed-

Dr. Weizmann's message also included an appeal to
the women Zionists:

girls have been neglected: it seems invariably to have

methods, in which they may be involuntary participants,

are the methods which are likely to build or to help Pales-

To continue, however, to blame the youth will be
diverting the issue. It is time that we faced the facts.
There is need first of all, to train a well-informed young
Jewry to be acquainted with Jewish history and tra-
ditions, in order that from their ranks may be drawn
future leaders in Israel. Without encouragement from
their homes and the community, however, a leadership
imbued with idealism can hardly be hoped for, and the
least that can be done for the young graduates is to
encourage them to continue their studies, and so to
attract them that they will remain an important ele-
ment in the life of the Jewish people.

fratricidal?

On the day of his departure (May 23), Dr. Weiz-
mann went a step further in urging peace in the ranks:

I am still hopeful that a peaceful solution will be

found so as to end the harmful conflict in the Zionist

Organization of. America. I do hope that the solution will

come about without a demand for the seer:flee of persons

who have served the cause for many years. There are

no real issues involved in the fight. Peace is essential at
this time when Palestine ie emerging from its difficulties

and a new era of reconstruction is at hand. The bickyrings

that have been carried on by the opposition have caused

The one thing that is needed for the retention of the
interest of the young in Jewish affairs is a knowledge
of Jewish conditions and Jewish life. It is now gener-
ally admitted that 35 to 40 hours of Sunday School
work in the year is ridiculously insufficient for the
training of the youth. The establishment of high
Schools helps to augment these studies, and attendance
in these schools, by the graduates of the Sunday
Schools should be encouraged by parent as well as
teacher. But even this is not enough. When the best
years fur study are allowed to pass with only one or
two hours a week of Sunday School work, the parents
and teachers in Jewry lose the right to criticize the
young men and women for not becoming active in Jew-
ish communal activities, because these young people
have not been trained sufficiently to he interested in

least ;300,000. If the quartol is not ended, the damage

may amount to half a million. Tbis should be sufficient

reason for discontinuing the conflict.

There can be no doubt but that these statements by
the international leader of the'Zionist movement will
influence many in the 'American movement to support
the present administration. The bitterness., however,
which has marked the attacks of the opposition, and
the counterattacks of the administration, lead us to be-
lieve that Dr. Weizmann's eleventh-hour appeal for
peace in the ranks may have come too late, unless the
commission of inquiry, which he appointed to scrutinize
the record of the present administration, will go a step
further and will actually make an effort to establish
peace in American Zionist ranks.

We speak here of the need to wipe out rancor.
Peace does not necessarily mean the elimination of an
opposition group in Zionism. Nothing could possibly
speak more for life and vitality in the movement than
the existence of a difference of opinion over questions
of policy to be pursued in the upbuilding of Palestine
as the Jewish Homeland. The American Zionist move-
ment has perhaps suffered most from the weakness in
this country of the minority parties—the Pottle Zion
and the Zeire Zion. The movement has gained great-
est momentum from the strife at Cleveland seven years
ago, when the struggle over the principles in the con-
troversy at that time served to solidify many elements
for Palestine's reconstruction. The present contro-
versy, too, was needed to stimulate a revived interest
in the movement. In every cause, the existence of
a dissenting minority helps to spur the majority on to
action, and its criticisms are essential elements for the
crystallization of opinions, sentiments and actions.

The school and the home should go hand in hand in
offering the reuuired encouragement to young Jewry
in acquiring Jewish knowledge. The first is helpless
without the influence of the second. The home, on the
other hand, can gain strength and attain unity only
when the right training is offered in the schools. The
problems of the many graduates therefore compel at-
tention to both, the school and the home. It is neces-
sary, if a worthy Jewish leadership is to be drawn from
the ranks of these graduates, that influence should once
again radiate from the home. and that the school as
well as the home help to build the future leaders in

"For the Land Is Mine."

That Zionism has lacked just such an opposition mi-
nority is evidenced by the deep spite and hatred which
seem to mark the present differences. To Dr. Weiz-
mann, "there are no real issues involved in the fight."
American Jewry at large has been told that the present
struggle in the ranks is motivated by the Cleveland
grudge. Former employes of the organization charged
"divergence of funds" and mismanagement in affairs
of the American Zion Commonwealth. while Dr. Weiz-
mann called the Commonwealth "the only worthwhile
private venture launched by American Jews," and de-
clared that.'"nothing else enduring has been achieved

by private initiative."
Thus, not only have the issues not been crystal-
lized, but they have become more and more compli-
cated. And what is worse, there is danger that unless
a serious attempt is made to create peace for Palestine,
the coming convention will be followed with continued
whispering campaigns and the creation of new opposi-
tion movements, in the existence of which greater em-
phasis will be laid on political maneuvers than on work
for Palestine. In the short period of four weeks re-
maining between now and the Zionist convention,
therefore, it is of the utmost importance that national
leaders who have the movement for Palestine at heart
make special effort to secure common consent for the

Basing its appeal on the Biblical ordinance: "And
the land shall not be sold in perpetuity ; for the land
is Mine." (Leviticus XXV. 23), the Jewish National
Fund, whose aim is to redeem the soil of Palestine as
the inalienable property of the entire Jewish people,
includes in its platform sentiments that attract the sup-
port of all classes of Jewry. The Orthodox find in it
the realization of a Biblical injunction, and a reversion
to Mosaic principles; for the socially-minded Jew it
means the realization of high principles of social right-
eousness; the economists see in this fund a great ex-
periment in public ownership of land.

Thus, all elements are united in the support of the
fund. That the young men and women of our people
should also be able to contribute of their efforts to-
wards the redemption of the soil of Palestine, two spec-
ial days in the year. designated as Flag and Flower
Days, have been set aside for National Fund collections
by the younger elements.

Through the sale of flowers this Sunday, the fif-
teenth annual Flower Day will be ushered in by De-
troit young men and women. The proceeds of the clay's
sales will help redeem the soil of Palestine, never again
to be "sold in perpetuity ;" and efforts of the young
will no doubt help to cement them to the ideal of Zion's
rebuilding. These are two good reasons why Flower
Day should be encouraged.

mania by reading this book than by reading magazines

and newspapers for a year.

For the benefit of our co-religionists who have won-
dered just how much value should be attached to the
reports that reach an concerning anti-Jewish excesses, the
report shows that the deputation (composed. as you will
note, of non-Jews) was unanimous in feeling that the
anti-Jewish propaganda in Rumania is part of a wide-
spread and ugly manifestation of racial and religious
hatred. The commission found that a hideous campaign of
intimidation and brutality was being carried on against
the Jewish citizens, and especially against the Jewish
students in universities. Especially they feel that it is
most unfortunate that students for the priesthood of the
state church should have taken part in demonstrations
against the Jewish students and other fellow students on
the basis of racial and religious prejudices. Also that it
is extremely unfortunate that the state church should
have sanctioned the National Christian Defense League
and the National Rumanian Christian Students Union,
whose publications are a disgrace to civilization and insult
to Christianity and a blot on the name of Rumania. They
feel that there is a grave danger to Rumania itself in
allowing the youth of the universities and schools to con-
duct anti-Semitic agitations. Students who grow up in
the atmosphere of anti-Semitic bitterness are going to be
the teachers and citizens of tomorrow, and unless Ru-
mania somehow represses this bitterness she may find a
pogrom on her hands over which she will have no control.
It seems to tie that this is a fine book for all officials of
the Rumanian government to read and ponder. After
this report gains wide circulation it will be an insult to
the intelligence of the American people for the Rumanian
minister to the United States to insist that the antielewise
outrage's are exaggerated or that Rumania is officially
trying to stop them. Read this Wok; it's well worth
while.

I spent an enjoyable evening hearing myself talk to
the members of the Men's Club of Temple Beth El, in
Detroit, on Tuesday of last week. But I enjoyed the
chairman's introduction even noire. He said that some-
how or other, my paragraphs irritated him; he didn't
know why; but there is something about them that makes
hint feel as comfortable as sleeping on a sheet covered
with cracker crumbs. But when he saw my picture,
which appeared in the Temple Bulletin of Detroit, he
realized that such a benevolent, kindly looking old gentle-
man couldn't possibly say anything to hurt anybody's
feelings and that from now on he intended to read this
column much niers' sympathetically. But I must confess
that some of these paragraph, irritate me, too, no I ant
not surprised that they annoy no many of my readers. It
may be that some of the topics discussed are of such an
irritating character and then again it may be that I
become no furiously angry at the completely stupid sec-
tions of some of my co-religionists that I relieve my
feelings by banging the typewriter viciously. Then,
taro, there are so ninny persons not Jews who peens to
delight in doing 'miserable, contemptible things just to
embarass us. Then, same Jewish leaders make me mad.
All in all, so much is happening all the time to provoke
peppery paragraphs that I am afraid that the reader will
have to continue to feed on this diet, even though it i3 a

In a letter written to the Jewish Review and Ob-
server, of Cleveland, Ohio, a reader from Jamestown,
New York, takes exception to the statement made in
Random Thoughts that rich Jews in foreign countries are
not contributing liberally to the relief work for Jews in
areas of persecution. He cites instances of the fine
relief work done by the rich Jews of Sweden. When a
destitute immigrant family arrived in Sweden (usually
from Poland), the local relief society arranges housing
conditions for them and immediately glees them 25 to
50 kronas (before the war I think a Swedish krona was
worth about 27 cents in American money). This sum
is given them as long as trey are in need even though it
be a period of years, and in addition, their rent is of
course paid. If one of the daughters is to be married,
a special contribution of 500 kronas is made; they also
have free loan societies in Sweden among the Jewish
group. And all this money comes from the wealthy Jew,.
There are, no doubt, dear reader, some very fine Jews
in Sweden and they do splendid work in an organized way.
But all this is done in every other country. What I meant
was that the enormously wealthy Jews, with of course n
few, very few, exceptions, do not contribute large sums
to Jewish relief like the Rusenwalds and the Warburgs,
and the rest of the rich Jews in America. There are Jews
in Europe who could give millions of dollars to Russian
relief, to the Palestinian movement, to the economical re-
lief of the Polish Jews or to any of the other outstanding
causes where funds are required, but they "let George
do it"—and in this case "George" happens to be the
American Jew. That's what I had in mind when I
referred to lack of generous giving on the part of our
European co-religionists. Some of these days, when I
have more time, I am going to gather some data on the
subject and will publish it.

A reader in Baltimore sends me a copy of a Jewish-
Christian paper called The Mediator, and with true Je•-

ish-Christian tolerance and love, it colors all its
"schmoos" with prejudiced statements. It has the usual
claptrap that one finds in journals of this type. But to

make it clear, serves only to make himself ridiculous. I

confess I just can't quite understand these Jews whit

insult their men intelligence and that of others by Re-
nouncing that "Israel without Jesus is spiritually dead;

without a soul." I suppose some persons find an appeal
in such a paper as The Mediator, but I see so much of

that type of missionary propaganda that it goes into the
waste paper basket immediately upon receipt, taking

precedence even over circulars.
