Zolotkoff Jacob Loeb and Judge Samuel
Altschuler.
DR.. Kallen's talk began in most
touching way which revealed the innate
genuineness of his charac cter. After listen
ing to all sorts of sincere praise, he
made most vividly clear the fact that
one who upholds his own people and
their welfare is merely just doing his
duty and therefore laudatory remarks
are superfluous Then he presented the
necessity Of furthering the interests of
Zionism for the perpetuation of all that
stands for the best in Judaism. The
European situation of the Jew and the
aims of the Jewish Congress recently
held in Philadelphia were we'll outlined
DR.. Kallen considers it an actual necessi
ty for every Jew in the country to give
his support to Zionism, and the move
ment to have our government assist in
redressing the wrongs of our co-religion
lists in other countries.
Sunday morning Dr. Kallen outlined a
plan to a committee of Minneapolis Zion
lists how to plan the formation of vari
Gus additional clubs there, and also in
other Jewish cities of the state. These
are to be banded into league. At noon
he addressed the members of the Unitar
ian Church, early in the afternoon the
GymOl Doled members heard him, later in
the afternoon he gave an address in ST.
Paul in Rabbi Kahn's temple, after which
he was the guest of DR.. Moses Barron. In
the evening DR.. Kallen's closing address
was given before very large audience at
the Kenneseth Israel synagogue on Zion
ism. Here he outlined particularly the
history of Jewish immigration in the
coming first of the Spanish and Portu-
guese Jews, of their eventual absorption
of the coming of the German Jews, de-
spised by the former but winning power
nevertheless, and of the coming of the
Russian Jews, who have superseded the
German Jews today in New York in the
garment industry. The necessity and de-
velopment of philanthropic associations
then followed Considering the condi
ton of the Jews elsewhere, it is for the
welfare of all concerned to have a land
like Palestine to care for the homeless
and the ill-treated ones. It's agricultural
developments, it's freedom from crime
all insure the value of such movement.
furthermore, the existence OF a. natlOHdl
state is connecting bond between or
thodox and reformed, and it thus insures
the future of Judaism. Obviously then,
to further the cause of Zionism is to be
interested in great altruistic work for
the unfortunate and to help preserve all
that makes our religion worth while.
That DR.. Kallen made an indelible i'm
preston on all who heard him is GER
tainty Those who were already inter
ested in the cause he espoused were
fired with additional zeal, while those
whose interest had never existed because
of their ignorance of it's significance
awakened to a new light of unselfishness
and service. s,
