cell-deception, error and delusion to regard
Zionism as an anti-thesis to equality of rights
or as a mere substitute for thin. In this point
all good Zionists are united. We are prepared
to face any misery sooner than give up our
rights as human beings. In all civilized and
free states the Jew is a citizen. In his civic
relation to the state of which he is • member,
he desires to be nothing else; to deny to a
Jew his citizenship is to insult him. As a
Jew and as a Zionist, proud of his race, true
to his historical tradition, he devotes in his
daily life his intelligence, his wealth, and when
occasion demands, his life, to the state of
which he is a fully privileged member.
"Ile cannot and will not be stateless. His
change of nationality, his naturalization in
Paelstine, must be an act of his free will.
So, fully privileged Jews go to Erctz Israel
as free men, without having to be expelled,
overwhelmed and economically ruined. Zion-
ism signifies not a driving out of the Jews to
Palestine but a spontaneous return of Israel
to his land."
In this statement is summed up an im-
portant portion of the Zionist platform.
Jews go to Palestine voluntarily, even
when they are free men. And in lands
where they propagate Zionist idealogy
they in no sense resign their rights as citi-
zens. On the contrary, they emphasize
it and insist on the equality which is due
them not on sufferance but as of right.
The demand for equality becomes a ques-
tion of honor for which Zionists battle
together with all other elements in Jew-
ish life. Because Zionists seek to make
Jewish life natural and unburdened by
the yoke of inferiority, they in a sense be-
come the leaders in the movement to se-
cure mislay for our people everywhere.
Dr. Sokolow's address adequately ana-
lyzed the attitude of Jewry in the present
world crisis. We ask of the world at
large that we be permitted to rebuild our
anciert h-, r, eland, and at the same time
we insist on our natural rights as citizens
in tb. 1, -, d, of our birth. At no time shall
we ene•-i - en an iota of our natural rights
as citizens among the nations of the world.
The Late Dr. Polozker
The community's recognition of a man's
services is usually best tested by the man-
ner in which the various elements respond
to the contributions he makes.
The spontaneous tributes to the late Dr.
Isaac L. Polozlter are remarkable demon-
strations of the esteem in which he was
held. Ile was liked both as man and phy-
sician, and as a public servant he had the
respect of ill groups in Detroit.
For the Jewish community it is a signal
honor that one of its members should have
been so highly regarded.
Czechoslovakia Not Anti-Semitic
In spite of the large Nazi vote polled
in recent elections in Czechoslovakia, the
country of which the eminent liberal, Dr.
Masaryk, is president, constantly provides
evidence that it is not anti-Semitic.
The latest demonstration of friendship
is the suppression by the government of
Czechoslovakia of the notorious anti-Semi-
tic newspaper, Aufbruch. It was ex-
plained that the government will not tol-
erate incitement to pogroms because it
is determined to protect its Jewish citi-
zens.
Czechoslovakia is thus one of the bright
spots in the darkness of Eastern and Cen-
tral Europe.
The Palestinian flag flies over the chess
