THE TALK OF THE DAY.

At the eighth international Zionist congress-
which VIII be formally opened at The Hague to-
morrow the delegates will be confronted with the
question: Shall Zionsts continue to strive for the
ideal created by Theodor Herzl shall they work
for the establishment of independent state in
Palestine. shall ZIonists hereafter devote them
selves to the promotion OF practical work in
Palestine? Or, writer put II, Is Zionism
poetry or business? An American Jew, writing on
the subject. says: Whatever the congress may
decide. there be doubt that ZIonism is un-
American and that the reformed rabbis expressed
the sentiment, as Isaac NJ Wise declared Of
American Judaism minus the idiosyncrasies of
late immigrants when they said: We totally dis
approve Of any attempt for the establishment q
Jewish state Such attempts show a misunder-
standing Of Israels mission. which from the mar
row political and national field has been expanded
to the promotion among the human race of the
broad and unlversalstic religion first proclaimed
by the Jewish prophets "
