ATTACKS ON THE ZIONIST
ADMINISTRATION.

Those who have read DR.. Solo
mon Soils Cohen's open letter in
which he arraigns the Zionist adj
ministration and especially the
active head of the Federation can
not but feel chagrined and NOR
titled at the charges he brings
and the state of affairs his indict-
ment discloses. Dr. Cohen, as all
must admit, is not a sensationalist
or disgruntled office seeker or one
who has an axe to grind. No one
can question his earnestness and
sincerity as a loyal Jew and de-
voted Zionist. He is not newspa-
per scribbler, but a man of high
scientific and scholarly attain
ments man who is not in the ha-
bit of speaking imprudently, of
uttering judgments unsupported
by facts. He is man to whom we
cannot but listen when he speaks.
The charges he brings are seri-
GUS ones. He finds a lack of
honor and even honesty at the
very fountain head of authority
and power in the administration of
Zionist affairs. He mentions the

THE SECESSIONS.

The secession Of the Mizrohi
and the Poale Zion from the larger
national body of Zionists may at
first appear as weakening of the
Zionist organization of this coun-
try. But it need not be so, in spite
of the gloating of the anti-Zioni-
lists over what they consider the
disastrous collapse Of the Fedora
ton.
Both the Mizrohi and the Poale
Zion have objects of their own to
serve besides the one we all have
in common-Zionism. To the
Mizrohi religious orthodoxy is just
as important as the nationalist
ideal. To the Poale Zion social
Justice and economic freedom are
equal desiderata with Jewish poll
tical independence in Palestine.
The ordinary Zionist leaves these
matters out of consideration when
dealing with the nationalist move
ment.

These two organizations, there
fore having other interests to
serve, should by right maintain
their individual organizations, and
carry on their various activities
Independently Of the neutral body
and of each other. The varied in
terests cannot be so easily recon-
ciled. Zionism will be no less
zealously cultivated by them if they
remain separated. On the con-
trary, each one will be put on it's
mettle; each one will strive to gain
strength and to display it in it's
own peculiar sphere. Zionism can
not possibly be the loser by it.

SPIRITUAL EXERCISE,

SPIRITUAL EXERCISE
Some time ago Temple Emanuel
New York, introduced the innova-
ton of having the Temple open
on all the days of the week, and of
inviting passersby to come in, to
rest and mediate. Every day at the
noon hour the minister appears
and reads the weekday service to
the people gathered there. There
is no music and no preaching; a
simple service Of prayer and medi-
tation.
A young rabbi in the South has
now decided on similar step for
his congregation. He has institu-
ted one weekday service in his
synagog, and if encouraged, will
probably arrange for services on
two or more days of the week in
addition to the regular Sabbath
worship
These are all steps in the right
direction. Our people have grad
ually become weaned away from
worship, worship pure and simple,
as a spiritual or religious exercise.
Most of those who attend Sabbath
and holiday services, or Sunday
services do so from a desire to hear
good music and a good lecture"
But since the temple music cannot
always measure up with operate
or symphonic standards, and since
he"lectures'' are not always of the
sensational, entertaining or orator
ical type, people soon lose interest
and cease coming. That accounts
for the empty pews at the Sabbath
services of the synagog. Our peo-
pie no longer come to worship.
They come to be instructed or en-
tertained.
Yet worship is a necessary exer-
else for the soul. It draws the mind
to the contemplation of the divine.
It turns our thoughts from the ma
terial to the spiritual. It brings
God into the heart of man. It
awakens our better impulses, stirs
our more generous emotions, and
deepens our sympathies. Man is
gifted with the vision to see the d.
vine in the world and in life, and
with the capacity for worship. Man
is endowed with a religious sense.

chairman of the executive COM
mittee by name and levels his accu-
sations against him. But there
are two or three others intimately
associated with the chairman who
together form the inner circle, the
drive wheel of the machine. To
them is entrusted the management
of all Zionistic activity in this
country, the handling and distri-
buting of all funds. If they are
not trustworthy, and the affairs OF
Zionism are mismanaged, and the
machine is self-perpetuating in
power, how long will it be before
all earnest minded Zionists become
discouraged and Disguised, and
lose all interest in, and sever all
connections with the movement?
That at the recent convention of
the Federation the majority of the
delegates supported the admins
tration against the attacks of the
opposition, thus giving the impress
sion that the administration was
indicated, does not prove any
thing. 1t merely shows the clever
ness and ability Of the managers,
their skill in the use of steam

ing of the machine.
What we wish to know is the at
titude of the nominal heads of the
movement, Justice Brandeis, DR..
Friedenwald, and DR.. Wise toward
this matter. After all the respon-
sibility rests upon them. Are they
aware of the shortcomings of the
active leaders or are they not?
If they are not is it not their duty
to make the necessary investiga-
tons, and if possible, to exonerate
the administration of the accusa-
tons brought against it? It is the
duty of all earnest and loyal Zion
lists to demand that the atmosphere
be cleared as speedily as possible.

Premier Boldly Meets Attacks

IN his address before the House OF Com
mons on Monday, Lloyd George splenddly
met the attack on his administ ration that
conferred on his announcement of the creation
of an interallicd war council and his Paris
speech. attributing reverses in the war to the
inefficient strategy which the coordination
OF all allied effort under such supreme cen
trail authority is designed to overcome in
future campaigns.
In accepting full responsibility for the
shock 10 British national sensibiliies pro-
duced by his Paris speech the Premier boldly
announced that the storm Of criticism it
aroused was anticipated. Indeed the speech
was delivered with deliberate purpose to
arouse public opinion to the vital necessity
for such scheme OF unified control Of allied
strategy. Previous attempts in that direct ion
had come to naught and the futility Of tii-
vided effort had been attended by results too
disastrous TO justify continuance Of such
haphazard strategy. He had sought to
arouse allied public opinion to that pitch of
interest which would force action to over
come definite weaknesses and definite abuses.
and make tho government more effective in
Its power to win the war. Responsibility for
the conditions which exist. he said belongs
alike to all the allies. and the only way open
10 improve these conditions is by an inter
allied council that will order the whole field
CT battle that the whole resources OF the al

The very boldncss of his speech in refusing
TO qualify his Paris utterances and insistcnce
upon the vital need for such plan had the
effect Of taking the heart out of the attack
the opposition expected would result in Il
serious weakening OF his administration and
possibly It's overthrow. and instead OF emcre-
ing from the contest with lessened prestige
England $ man OF action appar ently finds him
self more strongly ntrenched in public con
hdence than al any previous period since he
assumed government leadership. Moreover,
the atmosphere of misconception as to the
purpose and powers Of the interallied council
has been cleared away sufficiently to remove
All doubts Of its usefulness and to break down
any effective opposition to its creation With
these doubts disposed of, the representatives
of the allies will enter the coming conference
