of cleanliness in the midst of
contamination. A people acts by
instinct, all peoples, but with
articular intensity a people like
r own, seasoned by millennia,
ith an intuition for its own
salvation, a people that has al-
ready extruded many groups of
cowards and of apostates, yet
managed to endure and to grow.
The instinct of the masses of our
people has been turning like iron
filings toward the magnet of
Zion, now for more than three
or four generations. A deep and
constant tide has been running
through Israel, of disillusionment
with much in the western world,
slow] y crystallizing realization
that for many of us a Jewish
Commonwealth in Palestine is the
only genuine solution. Two things
have been interwoven, these last
years—our impotent gnashing of
teeth at the fate of our brothers,
and the concomitant turning to-
ward Zion. Men may argue about
polls, about concrete expressions
of Jewish popular opinion; but
no one, who has looked into the
faces of the Jewish people, who
has watched their eyes, listened
to the tone of their voices, will
entertain doubts as to their mass
movement toward Zionism!
A New Birth of Freedom

to turn to bold plans for the
establishment and maintenance of
the peace, for a wider measure
of justice and of abundance
among men. Nothing is lacking
amon: man save belief in them-
selves. If only we will lift our
eyes, we can see the broad and
fertile land that stretches before
our feet. This is a time for
courag, a time for vision, a time
for turning resolutely from the
old toward that which must be.
* * *
We turn again to our friends
in Britain, in Russia, and in our
own beloved land, the United
States. All that our people asks
is three things: An open door,
a fallow field, and the sword of
freedom! We ask that assurance
be written that there shall be a
Jewih Commonwealth in Pales-
tine, without prejudice to the
rights of non-Jews in the land,
with no union of church and
state, with the clear provision
that Jews in the remainder of the
world shall continue as loyal citi-
zens of the lands in which they
live.
The United Palestine Appeal is
dedicated to these things. It has
been rendering yeoman's service,
helping build the foundations,
laying the basis of a Jewish Pal-
estine. We have a right to be
proud of what it has done, and
of what it yet will do. Let us
unite so that this year may en-
able us to outstrip all we have
achieved so that we may reach
out a helping hand to the thou-
sands who will go to Eretz Is-
rael, so that this year may be the
crossing of the divide that leads
to a strong future of sturdy in-
dependence and growth in Pales-
tine.
And now we come to the Valley
of Decision, the Emek Hecharutz
of which Isaiah wrote. The fluc-
tuations of the water swing in
narrower arcs. The signs of doom
run across the skies of Germany
and Japan, like the dark streaks
that follow the irridescent colors
of a bubble just before it bursts.
The chance will come to the peo-
ples of the world for a new birth
of freedom, a chance to strike
the chains off weary limbs to

CHANUKAH GREETINGS
TO THE JEWISH COMMUNITY
•
The miller and the poor widow
were stiffened with fear.
"A miracle that the bath-house
was unusable," yelled Daniel,
"and when I came back I see
that strange hands are good only
to handle fire. You can't trust
them. Berel where . .
"What is this?" he yelled loud-
er, as he saw them both near
the sack of flour, "to handle fire
—why they can also steal flour.
Thieves! Thieves!"
Like an angry wolf he threw
himself upon them. They stood
breathless, unable to utter a
word.
"Get out of here, you thieves;
get out!" he cried.
Zlata took courage and began,
"Reb Daniel . . ."
"Be quiet, you; not a word.
You are fortunate that this is
Friday evening, erev Shabath, eles
I would soon put you in other
hands," thundered Daniel. "Get
out of the mill, Berel. You shall
never again set foot in here. Get
out! Thieves, thieves! Get out!"

The mud is deep and slimy.
Zlata pulls the cart up hill with
head bowed to the ground, while
Berel pushes from behind.
Both are quietly sighing.

such as the Union of American
Hebrew Congregations, and the
recalcitrant Jewish labor commit-
tee of that time which finally
also capitulated. Details of this
controversy or battle of ideas
would include many exciting inci-
dents; for while the first Jewish
Congress Committee was organ-
ized in 1915, the Preliminary
Conference did not meet until
1916 and the Congress did not
assemble until 1918, though the
first great election of delegates
on the universal suffrage basis
was held in June, 1917. In be-
tween these events, many stir-
ring incidents occurred, like the
famous battle of the orators from
both sides at the Jewish Com-
munity (Kehillah) conventions;
the arrival here from Italy of a
"man of mystery," a famous Rus-
sian revolutionary by the name
of Pincus Ruthenberg, and his
publication of a notable Yiddish
weekly; the Jewish Congress,
with the special support of the
Poole Zionist groups which back-
ed the Congress movement with
might and main; the convening
of a special conference of nation-
al organizations by Adolph
Krauss, then grandmaster of Bnai
Brith at which a remark of Dr.
J. L. Magnes brought much em-
barrassment to a delegate present
who was then already a member
of the U.S. Supreme Court; the
various maneuverings of the ir-
reconcilable labor group led by
two laborite musketeers, Max
Goldfarb and J. L. Shelubsky,
who were particularly antagonis-
tic to the labor Zionists, etc.
Around these incidents many stir-
ring perfervid speeches were de-
livered and innumerable newspap-
er articles written and published
espesially in the Yiddish press
which backed the movement so
vigorously. In the end, all ele-
ments came together, with the
lions and the lambs lying down
or sitting side by side. Perhaps
the most dramatic episode of the

battle within the Resolution's
Committee when Mr. Marshall
was after an all-night session per-
swaded to accept, not only minor-
ity rights for Jews, but national
or, as they were termed, group
rights for the Jews in those lands
where these attainments were
practical.
The final decisions took the
form of a number of resolutions
for Jewish rights and our claims
in Palestine, the Palestine resolu-
tion declaring for a Jewish Com-
monwealth (with only two dis-
senting votes) and the demands
for the full enfranchisement of
our people being formulated in
the shape of a Bill of Rights.
