Needed-A Zionist Program.
Homeland now being in a position to pro-
vide such satisfying shelter, there is a seri-
oils obligation to the Jewish Agency for
Jewish Proceedings Against Germany
Palestine.
The overwhelming victory scored by the
Labor group in Zionism, and t he compara-
tively small vote cast for the ticket of the
Zionist Organization and Iladassah, in the
Zionist Congress elections, are indications
that an important element in Zionist ranks
is beginning to rebel agaist the powers that
be and their policies.
For several yPItTS now something has
gone wrong in the ranks of the Zionist
Organization. Except for inner strife' there
was very little to commend it to the masses
of Jews who are now so anxious to partici-
pate in the work for the reconstruction of
Palestine as the Jewish National Home.
The reason for this is quite clear. The
Zionist Organization has been lacking in
an effective program. For many years its
efforts were limited to fund-raising. Its
educational policies were ineffective. Com-
paratively little was done to interest
wealthy Jews to invest in Palestinian indus-
trial enterprises. Little encouragement was
given to young Jews who desire to settle
in the Homeland as pioneers.
The Labor nude Zion party has tri-
umphed because it does have a program
and a platform. It battles for the reten-
tion of those elements of social justice in
the Zionist scheme without which our Pal-
estinian effort can not succeed. The labor
Zionists place emphasis upon Chalutziuth
-the effort for training pioneers for Pal-
estine. And if this party has been unable
to secure large investments for Palestine,
it has at least encouraged its party mem-
bers to invest in co-operative agricultural
projects. with a view of future settlement
as self-help colonists.
Last week we took occasion to comment
upon the program to which the Zionist
Organization subscribed on the eve of the
Congress elections. It is clear that this
program was announced a bit too late. The
revolt of the Zionist constituency, many of
whom must have voted the Labor ticket to
give the radical group a clear-cut majority,
is proof that the dissatisfaction in the ranks
is beginning to make itself felt.
If the Zionist Organization is to regain
its influence, and if it is to create confidence
in the program just enunciated, it must
make every effort to translate its principles
into action. Its pre-Congress program so
nearly approaches the labor platform that
there is no reason why the many thousands
of its adherents can mt be organized for
definite constructive effort in Palestine. But
if the Zionist Organization should at this
time fail to create a spirit of confidence
and trust among its own members, then it
is doomed to drop into a secondary place,
with the labor Zionist movement assuming
a position of leadership.
In the Detroit elections for delegates to
the Eighteenth World Zionist Congress, the
labor party was similarly successful, receiv-
ing GO per cent of the total vote. Ilere, too,
the members of the Zionist Organization
and of Hadassah are subject to severe criti-
cism. Out of approximately 1,1 000 en-
rolled members, the ticket of this group
received only 87 votes in Detroit. This is

The French Report on Palestine.
‘Viiile the natural reaction to the French
Report on Palestiee, lost published, is one
of indignation. the second thought niusi
bring a scornful sneer.
For two y'(..:us there have been many con-
flicting reports about the evils that must
rnnlc from this report. Now We have it,
■ t1111 if we are true to our aspirations we
must respond by laughing at it.
It is true that not all evils can be de-
feated by resorting to ridicule. There were
many who believed that ridicule was the
only weapon against Hitlerism. \Vii know
now what 0 false weapon it was in the
case of the Nazis.
But the situation is vastly different ill
Palestine, where the land is It waste desert
without Jews, and where there is no future
without the country's natural heirs.
Air. French should have known that he
was preceded by the White Paper of Lord
Passfield. who was Sidney \Veld, the lib-
eral before he \vas knighted, and who has
since assumed the name that stood for lib-
eralism and fairness; by the destructive
reports of Simpson and Shaw. In spite of
these hindrances placed in the path of
Jewry, the present progress has been
achieved, and the opportunities for Jewish
effort appear to be unlimited.
Is it possible that those who would dam-
age Jewry's chances in Palestine are un-
aware or our people's determinination in
Palestine? Is it possible that they do not
know that if Jewish effort can survive
Luke, Chancellor, Passfield, Shaw and
Simpson, it can also survive illr. French?
If there is any cause at all for Nvorry it
is due to the possibility that Great Britain
may be playing a political game which aims
to alternate favors between J ews and
Arabs. If Britain aims to rule by dividing,
then there may be considerable damage
done to Jewish aspirations. It will he re-
called that the first high Commissioner,
Sir Ilerbert Samuel, in his anxiety to please
the Arabs, displeased the Jews. Thereupon
the British government sent a great friend
of the Jews and an unusually fair man to
succeed Sir Herbert, ill the person of Lord
Plumer. But the period of peace and
progress that was experienced under the
rule of Lord Plumer was followed by the
dark years under Sir John Chancellor, for
which Britain atoned by appointing the
present High Commissioner, Sir Arthur
Grenfell Wituchope,
Does Britain intend to follow up this
period of prosperity with another cycle of
gloom and uncertainty through discrimin-
ating methods and reports, and by select-
ing officials unfriendly to Jews? If she
does, then she will again justify the appli-
cation of the title "perfidious Albion" when
Jews make reference to the mandatory
power.
\l'e hope that we are wrong in surmis-
ing- this. But if we are right, then Eng-
land had better be warned long enough in
advance that Jews are determined to over-
come all obstacles placed in their path in
Palestine. History should teach our ene-
mies to know that these obstacles will all
b e overcome .
