There is feeling among some of
the congressman and politicians in
Washington that Mr.. Spence may have
considerable opposition, and that he
may not finally be chosen as chairman
for the campaign this fall. From this
point of view it appears that his OPP

ZIONISM.


The one point which probably forever excludes
the possibility of an understanding between
Zionist and non-Zionist Jews is the question
of the Jewish nationality. Whoever maintains
and believes that the Jews are not nation
can indeed be Zionist he cannot join a
movement which is only justified when it is
admitted that it desires to create normal con-
Gftions of existence for a people living and
suffering under abnormal conditions. He who.
the contrary, is convinced that the Jews
a people must necessarily become Zionist
only the return to their country can

Jewish nation from physical and intellectual
destruction.
Many Jews. especially those of the West have
in their heart of hearts. completely broken
with Judaism. and they will probably soon do
so openly. and II they do not break away their
children grandchildren will These desire to
be entirely absorbed by their Christian fellow
countrymen. They resent it as great annoy
ance when }Er Jews proclaim that they
people apart and desire to bring about an I'M
equivocal separation between themselves and
the other nations. Their great and constant
fear is to be denounced as strangers in the land
of their birth, of which they free citizens
They fear that this will be more than ever the
case if large section of the Jewish people
openly claim for themselves rights au-
tonomous nation. and, still worse, if anywhere
in the world political and intellectual centre
of Judaism should really be created, in which
millions of Jews would be grouped together.

All these feelings the part of the assinlila-
ton Jews are comprehensive From their
standpoint they justified. These Jews. how
ever. have no right to expect that Zionlsm
should for their sake commit suicide. The

suggestion of abandoning it. are about sixth
