Weizmann utlines Views Michigan Christian Zionists Will Hold
on Jewish 'State Power'
Institute Here Wednesday and Thursday
(Continued from Page 3)
so that they could live—as I thought they did, but as you say .
they .don't—safely and securely!
After a 15-minutereply by Weizmann concerning the psycho-
logical position of the :J
ew in most countries, Hutcheson interrupted
to say that Weizmann had misunderstood his question, and said:
"I am asking how establishment of a Jewish state will eliminate
from these strange people among whom you are living, this psycho-
- logical cruelty of anti-Semitism."
Weizmann replied: "We appear to the Gentiles to be a
peculiar people, suspended between heaven and earth. This
produCes. a problem. The Jew must explain himself, and
everyone who must explain himself is condemned beforehand.
As soon as there is trouble—economic or otherwise—we are
suspected."
He then analyzed the changing position of world Jewry in
the years 1880 to 1914 and up to today, and pointed out that 60
percent of the world's Jews live in Anglo-Saxon countries.
Won't Force Anyone to go to Palestine
Frank Crossman asked Weizmann if he did not think that
taking the Jews out of Europe would be an acceptance of anti-
Semitism. and acceptance of the idea that European democracy is
finished. Weizmann replied that he would not force anyone to
go, and that "all it would mean is that Europe is sick, and the
presence of Jews might not only prevent the curing of its sick,.
ness; but acerbate it."
Bartley Crum asked whether he believed that a Jewish state
should be established now. Weizmann said:
"No. What I want is the abolition of the White Paper and
the beginning of immigration and settlement. I want to bring
in a maximum number of European Jews during a transitional
period, eventually leading to a Jewish state, after a 'Jewish
majority has been realized."
MacDonald asked Weizmann to comment on the fact that
some of the members of the committee had gotten the impres-
sion that the young Jewish leaders in the camps in Germany feel a
"sort of fascist superiority," and, he said, it had been suggested
that the Jewish Agency was somehow responsible.
So Astonished . . . Almost Speechless
Weizmann replied: "I am so astonished as to be almost speech-
less. I can see that these youths are bitter, and can see that they
say they want to go to Palestine and will not be stopped, but that
is not fascism. I utterly repudiate and the Agency repudiates
and does not give support to any theory of the `ubermensch'."
He said that he was strongly opposed to political violence and
that "whatever my power to stop it—and -I do not know whether
I can—I will do it, not condoning .what is being done, but under-
standing why people are driven to it."
Crum asked Weizmann to confirm the conversation concerning
Palestine he is reported to have had with then Prime Minister
Churchill before the end of the war. Weizmann said:
- "It was the Saturday before the assassination of Lord Moyne.
The substance of the conversation was that Churchill said that
he . would like to bite into the Palestine problem and, together
with President Roosevelt find a way out. I understood that his
mind was veering around to something such as partition. He said
that as soon as the war with Germany was over, he would tackle
the problem with whoever was in power there at that time, and
try to persuade them to agree to what we wanted. I felt for the
first time in my life that I had seen something of a glimmer of
light at the end of the tunnel." •
The hearings were resumed Monday, when representatives of
the Jewish Agency testified.
