Although Columbia will not play a

THE beginning of the end Of the au-

question is whether American Israel IS
too Jewish and American or un-Jewish
and un-American. The jewish masses
are determined to become the masters
Of their own fates. Israel may, II n

would have none of this secrecy IN
Jewish affairs, because our affairs can
bear the light of day. We ask FOR no
rights which we must not openly and
frankly ask of the nations.
Israel must regain Palestine. its
ancient home. Touching the right Of
the Jewish resettlcment Of Palestine
Israel must speak for itself, and none
can speak for it except by its express

WILLSLAUDS NEW
CONSTITUTION
Senator Urges Support as
Opening Way 10 Good
State Government.

state Senator Ogden L. Mills spoke
on "The New Constitution" at the rally
dav services in the Twenty-third Street
Y. VI. c. A., Twenty-third Street and
Seventh Avenue. yesterday. Senator
Mills said in part:
zone decision you are called 10 make
this fall is more important than any
other YOU have TO make on Election
Day You are going 20 vote on me
new constitution. This law, II adopted,
is one under which you and your chill
dren must live for the next twenty
years.
The new constitution makes many
changes. The most important is the
complete reorganization of the state
departments. Under the present law
subordinate 20 the Governor and Lieu
tenant Governor are some l52 depart
ments and bureaus, not the logical ere
alton Of the people of this state. Al
the time of the adoption Of the pres
ent constitution there were thirty nine
Departments The rest have been ere
ated from time 10 time in haphazard
fashion. Aside from the lack Of re
sponsibility 10 the people likely TO
exist. such a form Of government Is
most eXtravagant.
"Since the adoption Of the last con
stitution the cost Of government has
risen from S1Z,OO0,OOO TO S42,OOU,VOO-
The per capita cost has increased IRON
S24l TO S5.4l. Under the new consutu-
ton there will be only seventeen state
DEPARTMENTS. under a responsible head,
who Will be anSwerable, If elected, TO
the people; if appointed, to the Gov
ernOr, who In turn Will be responsible
70 the people of the state.
"The second great reform made By
the constitution is provision Tor the
executive budget The states Of the
Union are the only civilized states IN
the world where there is no executive
budget. All our bureaus send their
own estimates 10 the Legislature.
Through this system we are losing
thousands Of dollars every year The
Legislature is no place TO prepare
budget. ....
Under the proposed constitution
when the estimates from the seventeen
DEPARTMENTS are sent TO the Governor,
he has authority 10 make cuts. lie
can cut the estimates lntelhgently.
The Legislature is not empowered TO
add 70 the budget. Il can cut II but
not raise II.
"lne emergency HcSaaSS' MA4N4 mac
been so much abused lately, has been
abolished. The new law requires the
Legislature 10 maintain and publish
a Journal Of It's proceedings. The atti-
tude of the public to-day is 10 treat
the Legislature with contempt That IS
bound TO be reflected in the quality Of
the work done by the Legislature.
The new constitution deserves your
support. II represents the product OF
the great minds Of the state. In recog-
nizing home rule 1t Is progressive.
Tbrough IL runs the solemn funda-
mental principle that responsibility,
simplicity and proper authority in
public officials are necessary for a
democratic government which can deal
efficiently with the problems Of the
day"
