HOCKING ANTI-ZION
VIEW IS ASSAILED

Lipsky Takes Issue With Pro-
feasor's Statements on
Palestine,

NEW YORK.—(J, T. A.)—
Prof. William Ernest Hocking is
charged with adopting the attitude
of a British civil servant, and dis-
playing a lack of reality in his
references to Palestine and Zion-
ism in his book, "The Spirit of
World Politics," published last
week, In a statement made public
through the Jewish Telegraphic
Agency by Louis Lipsky, former
president of the American Zionist
Organization and at present na-
tional chairman of the American
Palestine Campaign of the Jewish
Agency.
Professor Hocking lacks a sense
of reality; he sets up false anti-
theses and reconciles them with
facility, but this reconciliation
does not touch the main issue and
makes no contribution toward the
solution of a vexatious problem,
Mr. Lipsky says.
Mr, Lipsky takes issue with the
statement made in Professor Hock-
ing's book to the effect that Jews
should take refuge in a spiritual
kingdom, which indicating that the
material right of way be given to
the Arabs.
"This might be considered," Mr.
Lipsky says, "first if 'be acquisi-
tion of a spiritual center would be
possible in an environment satur-
ated with Arab hatred, and sec-
ond, if it would satisfy the prob-
lems arising out of the homeless-
ness of the Jewish people, It is a
question whether the Arabs would
agree to extending hospitality even
to a spiritual center."
Referring to Professor Rock-
ing's statement that the Hebrew
University on Mount Scopus is the
symbol of all that is best in Zion-
ism, Mr. Lipsky asserts: "It is
not the symbol of Zionism Jews
who seek, but the reality of that
symbol.
"It may be that Great Britain
has promised something which it
had no power to give, but it is de-
scending to the purely legalistic to
deny what was in the minds of the
Allied Powers when the mandate
was issued to Great Britain," Mr.
Lipsky asserts.
Professor Hocking is cursory
and superficial in his treatment of
the aspirations of the Jews. Mr.
Lipsky Mates, and makes a senti-
mental jumble of certain pious ex-
pressions used by romantic Zion-
ists and gives them as his summary
of what Zionism represents. Ile
is not half as fair to what Zionism
really stands for as he is to the
ambitions of tho Arabs.
Mr. Lipsky asserts that Profes-
sor Hocking follows with amazing
docility the Passfield White Paper
as the embodiment of true em-
phasis which should be placed
upon the relative positions of Jjws
and Arabs in Palestine.

CHILDREN'S HOME

Herman Cohen, president of the
Jewish Children's dome, announces
that a number of rooms in the new
home, Burlingame and Petoskey,
have been sold as memorial and in
tribute to men and women chosen
for these honors. These six rooms
will be named in honor of the fol-
lowing:

Definition of the Homeland.

"When it is asked what is meant
by the development of the Jewish
National Home in Palestine, It may
be answered that it is not the im-
position of a Jewish nationality
upon the inhabitants of Palestine
as a whole, but the further devel-
opment of the existing Jewish com-
munity, with the assistance of
Jews in other parts of the world,
in order that it may become a cen-
ter in which the Jewish people as
■ whole may take, on grounds of
religion and race, an interest and
a pride. But in order that this
community should have the best
prospect of free development and
provide • full opportunity for the
Jewish people to display its capaci-
ties, it is essential that it should
know that it is in Palestine as of
right and not on sufferance. That
is the reason why it is necessary
that the existence of a Jewish Na-
tional Home in Palestine should
be internationally guaranteed. and
that it should be formally recog-
nized to rest upon ancient historic
connection."
Norman Bentwlch, attorney..
general of Palestine, has described
it more briefly "a national home
connotes a territory in which a
people, without receiving the rights
of political sovereignity, has,
nevertheless a recognized legal po-
sition and receives the opportunity
of developing its moral, social and
intellectual ideals.",
