of the movement through ability to lead.
It may be that a great wrong is being
committed against this man by embroiling
him in this party fight.
It ought to be possible for American
Zionists to get together and to unite in
the present crisis. It is inconceivable that
they should find it necessary to conduct
an internecine war. The Zionist feud must
stop before the convention, in order that
American Jews may work harmoniously
for a sacred cause.
