(Continued from Page 4) 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 - 4 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 (Continued from Page 9) throw open the portals of the Where are you?" Suddenly Dan- prson-house, to release the mighty momentum of the peoples' will, iel's voice was heard. THIEVES CHANUKAH GREETINGS!

"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. (Continued from. Page 12) 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 D. SULLIVAN COAL CO.

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.
