effectually help this proposed crea-

forced out by impossible conditions
under which he may have to live in
the diaspora, shall be able to go
with the assurance that he shall find
very sympathetic surroundings and

There can be no doubt that the

Gated and the proposition which you
bring forward that American Israel
combine to oppose these efforts, is
in my opinion, nothing less than pre-
posterous.
Your proposition, in the nature

cannot be successful and will on1 y
bring forth bitterness, recimination

am sure, is greatly to be depre-
Gated.

man of the New York State Public
Service Commission, has authorized
the publication of his reply to an in
vitation to be one of the callers of
a conference to organize an opposi-
ton to the Zionist Movement. 1t
is as follows:
1T beg to acknowledge receipt Of
your favor of August 80.
'Permit me to say that I regard
the holding of conference to coun-
teract. the activities of Zionists as
distinctively unwise and harmful.
In view of the fact that Great Brit

tons through their highest officials,
have given assurances for the well
fare of the Jews in Palestine, regard
less of the fact whether one is a
Zionist or not, to oppose such a

section of our people can only
be hurtful and show lack not only
of unanimity but of appreciation
for these welcome assurances which
should receive the gratitude not
only of Jews as such, but as Amer
leans, for this first significant and
concrete move on the part of the
Allied nations to assure freedom Of
development for subject national

II do hope that your committee
will recall its proposed action, which

JACOB H. SCHIFF OPPOSES
ANTI-ZIONIST CONFERENCE.

Mr.. Jacob H. Schiff has author
lied the Zionist Organization of
America to publish his reply to an
invitation to participate in confer
ence which certain Reform Rabbis,
including DIR. David Philipson Of
Cincinnati, have planned to call in
order to organize an opposition to
the Zionist Movement. In his letter
Mr.. Schiff announces that he has
ceased his opposition to the Zionist
Movement, the success of which, he
says, will have the most healthy and
refreshing effect upon entire Israel.
He describes the plan to oppose it
as nothing less than preposterous.
His letter follows:
Bar Harbor, Me-, Sept 5, 1918.
My dear Doctor Philipson:
Replying to your communication
of August 30th, regret I cannot
see my way to give permission for
MY name to be used in connection
with the call Of the Conference in
opposition to the>Zionist Movement.
I believe I have already hereto
fore explained to you the reasons
which, soon after the outbreak of the
Russian Revolution, have induced
me to change my former attitude to-
wards the Zionist Movement and [
have since become more and more
convinced that it was in the best
interests of our People that [ did
this.
Greatly more than I did when I
first ceased my opposition to the
Zionist Movement, do I feel now
that the creation of Jewish Home
land in Palestine is most desirable.
I am very much afraid that con-
ditions in Russia, Poland, Roumania,
Austria, perhaps even Germany and
elsewhere are such that the outlook
for the Jews there land these form
a vast majority of the Jewish pop
ulation of the worlds far from be-
ing a favorable one and that for
reasons which would lead too far to
go into here, but which by all those
who want to use their eyes, can be
we'll seen, considerable unhappiness,
if not suffering, is likely in store,
in the countries I have named, for
the Jewish population.
