land that will satisfy the national longing of the Jews.
 We believe when the peace agree ment comes between the present war ring nations, no matter who wins, the question as to a place for the Jew will come up. Palestine will be open for Jewish immigration and America is ready to place before the Christine and Mohammedan world the requests that the land of their fathers be re- stored.
 The Jew will be free to remain wherever he pleases. But he will be as free to go to Palestine. There he will be welcomed as to his own home. As a Jewish homeland. Palestine will attract every Jew suffering from per- secution or prejudice and every Jew who prefers a Jewish national atmos- phere for himself and his children in preference to the inducements any i other land may offer him. It is known that England, as well | as Germany, is in great sympathy. The only question Is, be prepared when the time comes. As fas as the Amer | ican administration is concerned they are in sympathy. Ambassador Nor l gentkair to Turkey who has already | helped save both Gentle and Jew Is | visiting in America.
 It is our present duty and duty of | Americans to protect a persecuted race, to help the race to it's liberty l ana welfare.
