AS student of colonization and of the
Jewish question, earnestly and sincere
ly as could wish to see the success of
the Zionist movement, 1 regret that it is
impossible to avoid the conclusion that
if Jewish state were formed in Uganda
it is demonstrable that it is foredoomed
tofailure. The proposed site is in the re-
gion OF the equator; it is between 900 and
400 miles from the sea. The drawbacks,
therefore. can be appreciated most thor
oughly by those who, like the writer,
have had practical experience in the
organization and government of colon
list communities. The first fact-which
the leaders of the proposed Jewish state
will have to consider is the question of
access to market. There are few COM
modities in the present state of interna-
tiOnal competition which will bear the
expense of land transport for 400 miles
on tropical railway. Wheat, vege-
tables and timber are not among these
commodities. Coffee, rubber, tea, ostrich
feathers, gold and diamonds would pay
for export; but the cultivation of cof-
fee, which is rather a horticultural than

eIined to cross the ocean in order to en-
gage in agricultural pursuits.
During the past SUE lner was in Rus
STA investigating the circumstances
connected with ta deplorable kishineff
outbreak, and there had the opportunity
of discussing with Russian ministers
and with the Jewish leaders the problem
which is one of overcrowding within the
Jewish pale in Russia.
His British majesty's government has
. conceived the idea of granting facilities
for settlement in Uganda. The tract
of territory offered by Lord LaLsdowne
occupies an area of 200 square miles.
Owing to its high elevation the climate
of this tract of territory is healthy. 1t
lies between the Mau escarpment and
Nairobia.
When the plan was placed before the
Zionist congress tremendous enthusi-
Rsm was excited among those Of the
delegates who were not resident in Rus
STA. The Russian delegates. however.
as / have already pointed out, are reso-
lutely determined not to compromise the
Zionist scheme of a return to Palestine
and the establishment of a Jewish state
there by giving their sanction to any
plan by which the Argentine failure of
Baron Hirsch shall be repeated under
less favorable conditions. The Russian
delegates, accordingly, left the congress
in body rather than support by their
presence q scheme which violates the
first principle of Zionism.
The Russian Hebrews. however. are
by no means the only section of the He
brew community who are opposed to
the establishment of a Jewish state in
Uganda. The wealthy members of the
community in the United States, Eng
land, France and Germany are for the
most part equally hostile to the political
ambitions of Zionism, whether in Pal
estine, Uganda, or elsewhere.
Nevertheless, the proposals COM
municated by Lord Lansdowne to the
managers of the Basic congress have ma

with politicians, though not much re-
sembling the usual Tammany brave.
But there was objection in Brooklyn.
Veteran Hugh Mclaughlin, born some
years before Charlie Murphy. the new
leader of Tammany, insisted that Nc
C1ellan was neither big enough nor in
dependent enough to get a vote there
worth counting. In an evil hour some
smart Aleck suggested to Murphy that
it would be a fine trick to steal Grout
and Fornes, both democrats, both sound
and honored men, from the fusion ticket
1t was done, Murphy sitting impassive
in convention while Brooklyn's one
third of the delegates howled their rage.
For SO hours it looked as if Murphy had
spiked the fusion guns. Then two
things happened
The fusionists, too furious in their
wrath to be quite fair to Grout and
Fornes, swept these two eStimable gen.
tlemen from their ticket, completing it
with two new men, honest, capable
democrats.
The democrats, thousands of them, al
so made it evident that they did not in
tend to support the stolen candidates.
McLaughlin's ratification meeting in
Brooklyn took its medicine and stood
for" McClellan-though all know that
it will be McLaughlin's political death
blow if Mcclellan wins, and the death
blow of his antagonist, Murphy. if Nc
Clellan does not; SO one can judge how
hearty was the endorsem ent-but it did
not say one word for the two stolen
candidates.
