PALESTINE RESOLUTION IN
CONGRESS.

CONGRESS.
The hero probably knows when ne
is making history, but usually no one
else at the time does. Anyone who
has searched the medieval chroniclers
for light on some blazing event that
has changed the fibre Of the worlds
life, knows how casually reference
to such an event may be made IN the
midst of parochial gossip or OF &C
counts of a monastery's financial dit
ficulties. Some scholar in the future
NAV likewise search for long time
in the newspapers of today to find
word of things that in those days Will
be regarded as epochnaking. Our
hypothetical scholar will read without
very much interest that woman went
ont riding with her confidential adj
visor and somehow got shot before
she returned, and then-who knows
he will spend much time over
small item headed "Lunn resolution
referred to Committee on Foreign
Affairs"
Even the infallible correspondent
and correspondent is to an ed1-
tor in infallibility what the editor is
to the ordinary MANS not sure
what step this marks in the restoration
of the Jewish people to their place
among the nations. But the flood OF
news in the papers Of last week has
concealed altogether, from the general
public, the fact that a congressman has
introduced in the House of Represen-
tatives, a most significant resolution
George R. Lunn, of Schenectady has
moved that the British Government
be congratulated on its conquest OF
Palestine and on it's declaration in
favor Of the Holy Land as a national
center for Jewish People. Now there
are two institutions that speak for the
American people. One is the Con-
gress, the other, the President. Mr..
Lunn may have settled it that Congress
shall speak first on the question which
after two thousand years is about to
be answered. He may have, by his
resolution, only induced the President
to speak sooner than he had expected
to. In either case one of Americas

By H. A. Sragan.


no paper in the country thinks it worth
as much space as is given to the an
nouncement of the monthly meeting
of the School janitors League.
The resolution emphasizes the fact
that the conquest Of Jerusalem was ct
fected without damage to the Holy
Places, and is stated in the most digni-
fled language The Chairman of the
Foreign Affairs Committee Of the
House of Representatives is heartily
in favor Of it and knows Of no reason
why it should not pass. The Jewish
member Of the Committee, Mr. Sa-
bath, will lend it his most energetic
support.
Now to consider Mr.. Lunn. He
is first Of all preacher, a Doctor OF
Of Divinity. He was pastor OF
fashionable church in Schenectady
until he resigned to found the Peoples
Church. He was the first Socialist.
mayor Of a large city in the United
States, and by the way, he had as
private secretary Walter Llppmann.
He was again elected after an inter
val-and Socialist mayors do not often
receive second terms. While he was
mayor Of Schenectady there occurred
a strike at Little Falls, during which
the principles Of free-speech were con-
veniently forgotten by the sheriff and
local officials. Mr.. Lunn went over
to Little Falls and made a speech.
The local officials, if illegally acting,
were at least impartial and saw no
reason to treat Mayor differently
than an ordinary man, and arrested
him. | have very few friends from
Russia who have not been in jail. Mr..
Lunn would pass the first test.
1t may be added that Mr.. Lunn
had discussed this matter with eminent
Jewish friends and had actually in
tended to bring up his resolution be-
fore the capture Of Jerusalem. He
would have had joint resolution
brought in simultaneously in the
House and Senate, bat that would have

the State Department and obtained
permission to send moneys directly to
the occupied parts of Palestine, caused
a buzz of excitement. On the other
hand. came the we'll authenticated
rumor that Significantly, if unofficial
W, the American Government had
spoken out in favor of the Jewish
national program. There were wild
Celebrations of tl1is-none of them
sponsored by responsible Jewish au-
thorities. Some of the correspondents
in the daily papers whose signed arti-
cles are syndicated all over the coun-
try, went unpardonably astray in their
accounts Of exactly what the Ameri-
can Government had done and would
do, but those writer's whose sanity and
fairness have brought them into near
relationship with Washington officials
were very close to the mark. There
is every reason to believe that not
more than five or six weeks ago
perhaps within less time than that
an informal statement of sympathy
with the proposed British declaration
was made. And there is hope, based
upon the soundest foundations that
the man who has best expressed the
aims of America and of the nations
with whom America is cooperating
in this war will soon for the whole
civilized world enunciate the claims
Of Judea.
While reporters were bombarding
the State Department and being told
that it was impossible for any state
ment respecting Palestine to have
been made, as we were not Allies of
the entente powers, but only co-opera-
ting with them and could, therefore
express no opinions as to the DISPOSE
ton of territory, an important guest
in Washington was being entertained.
Aaron Aaronsohn of the American
Agricultural Experiment Station in
Palestine has reached America after
experiences of the most distressing
and narrowing nature. His presence
in the capital was the opportunity for
the Washington Zionist Circle to hear
him in the evening and for a distin-
guisl1ed company of men to have lunch
with him at the University Club, as
the guests of Mr.. Julius l. Peyser.
Present were Julius Rosenwald, Eu-
gene Meyer, Jr., Simon Wolf, DR..
Abram Simon, Judge Milton Stras-
burger, DR.. Israel Schapiro, Hon.
Julius Van der Wielen, and other
prominent visitors and residents of
Washington.

Hatchery Of Fakes.

New York city, in addition to all its
other varied activities, good and bad.
is charged with being the greatest
hatchery of fakes. The latest dodge to
separate suckers and their simoleonS is
an outcome of the great war abroad
In one of the downtown streets q sign
in the window reads: "The war killed
this glass mill" Inside the store are a
number of statesmen who are trying to
palm off lot of cheap pressed glass
for genuine cut glass. The cut-rate
goods are of the same variety as the
Old-time bogus fire" sales; the kind
known in some quarters as 'paWnbrok-
er" goods, because they are intended
for display in pawnbroker shops, as
though once upon time they had been
left as pledges for loans and had never
been redeemed. The fake cut-glass
bowls and other glaring limitations
were attractively arranged on the ta-
bles along the walls with alluring la
bells reading, "S1-marked down to 45
cents or "75 cents-cut to 80 cents"
OF course, it is merely new kink to
the old trick of dumping out shoddy
goods under some form of misrepre-
sentation.

Success in the Man Business.

In business it is not the individual
producer who gets the biggest or the
surest rewards; it is the organization
builder. And any man, no matter how
small his business, ought to recognize
that fact. Unless an employer is in
terested in GSding, training, holding
and dividing eth good men, his bust
ness can never grow. 1t will remain
the work of one man; and the work of
one man is certain to be limited in
size and profits. You may think that
you are in the shoe business or the
shirt business or the furniture BUSH
ness, but you are mistaken. After all
is said and done, we are all in the
same business-the man business-no
matter what we make or sell.

The discovery furnished Baron HUI
