Does the American singer need Eu-
rope?" was the question asked Of Ger
aldine Farrar, the American prima
donna, who has had all that Europe
could offer OF training. experience and
opportunity for self-expression. She
knows the public appreciation that
comes to one blessed with great natu-
raj gifts, devotion to the responsibility
that those gifts carry with them, limit
less vigor of mind and body and ability
to work hard.
THE American singer does need Eu-
rope, OF that 1 am very sure" was
the answer. but do not understand me
to mean that singers must go to Eu-
rope to study vocal technique, as there
are as excellent singing teachers here
as there are abroad and the funda-
mentals of voca! training can be
learned as readily here.
But in the same way one can say
that one can learn to read as easily
here as abroad. There is. however,
much more to singing than vocal tech
nique and much more to education
than reading words. Education in its
broadest meaning has been represented
by Europe, and with this in mind sing
ers should not be set apart from other

tiers, who need the broadest type OF

familiar to our other singers.
"Of course. the case of Miss Pom
selle who came to us for her begin
ming in opera, was different. She was
especially talented in the matter Of
stage department and fortunate
enough to appear in two operas that
had not been given before. These were
La Fora del Destino' and 'Oberon.'
These had to be very carefully re-
hearsed and 1t was possible to take
Miss Ponselle along step by step
throughout the operas. But such a
training Is impossible in most cases.
Only the novelties are so carefully
prepared. Our prima donnas are ex-
pected to know their roles when they
come here and take their place with
few rehearsals in the regular per-
sonnet of the theatre.
at y, therefore. necessary for the
young singers to learn the repertoire
in which they will appear before they
come to the Metropolitan Opera
House. Since there are so few opera
houses in this country. II might be
said that the preparation in the thea
tres of Europe-that is Europe In nor
NAL times-is necessary. At all events,
the finished artists necessary for the
standard OF the Metropolitan Opera
House must acquire their training be-
fore they come here"

an the same way the singer may

small company, but TO acquire the
breadth and experience which the
singer needs to interpret opera for a
vast audience, such as that which
gathers in the Metropolitan Opera

must have years OF study and work,

opera houses which are found In Eu-
rope. and then perhaps in the Paris
Opera Comique and similar important
operate organizations, coming finally
to the Metropolitan. the Mecca, OF

THE Importance of these years of
work and growth can hardly be over
estimated. and nothing equivalent to
them can be the experience of the
singer who stays in this country and
studies under one master. Much be-

Author of ~Zionism and the Future Of
Palestine"
zI0NISM is topic Of present day in
Il terest The movement is of inter-
est to Jews and Christians alike; and Mr.
Sokolow's work, of which the first volume
has been issued. is therefore timely one
Those, however, who take up this portly
volume of over 300 pages In the hope Of
getting a ''History of Zionism" Will be
disappointed, whereas those who wish to
read a fairly well written propagandist
work, setting forth the claims and aspira-
tons of the particular brand Of Zionism
to which the author is attached, will have
their expectations fully realized.
Mr.. Sokolow has written a big book,
but not a good one. He has with great
industry compiled vast mass of faetx,
most of which do not bear on Zionism
proper, but which are brought forward
to create the impression that modern
Eonisin is the elimination of movement
extending over centuries. The book fairly
teens with this spirit. 1t is full of propa-
ganda pleas and propaganda arguments
and propaganda interpretations of events
that in reality have nothing to do with
Zionism.
The propaganda begins with the inser-
ton of an introduction by the Right Hon.
A. J. Balfour, evidently requested by
the author with view of securing wider
attention to his work, but in which Mr..
BalfOur is curiously non-committal on the
crucial point, whether he farors the reor-
gsnization of Palestine as Jewish state.
Even more non-eommittal is letter from
Lord Bryce to the author, in which he
contents himself with some general obser-
vations on the interesting history of the
Jews and on the possibilities of Zionism.
The one important statement in Lord
Bryee's letter is the expression 'of his
opinion that attachment to the Zionistic
cause will not affect the LOYALTY of Jews
to the countries in which they dwell. Yet
such is the zeal of Zionists @eneompassing
land and sea" for converts that on the
basis of non-eommittal statements which
happen to be embedded in a work on
Zionism, Lord Bryce and Mr. BaIfour will
probably be claimed as Zionists.

The plan aroused widespread interest
and the Zionistic movement grew by leaps
and bounds during the two decades fol-
lowing upon the Basel congress. 1t APP
pealed to the romantic sentiment with
which Palestine was invested for both
Jews and Christians. 1t at first stirred
the orthodox Jews to a feeling that the
religious hopes TO which they had chung
for 1000 years for restoration of ancient
Israel, with its priesthood and temple rit-
ual including animal sacrifices, were about
to be realized, but when it became evident
that Herzls "Jewish State" had little in
common with the purely religious doctrine
of orthodox Judaism, the orthodox ele-
ment to large extent withdrew. Those
in control of political Zionism are not
orthodox or even believing Jews.
The leader himself, Dr. Herzl, had
thrown off all allegiance to the rites and
ceremonies of the ancestral faith. DR..

garded as such) and the bulk of the fol-
lowers were not religious Jews but claimed
to be stirred by the nationalistic appeal
of the movement Many boosted that they
had no particular sympathy with the Jew
ISL religion. The leaders Of the move
ment in this country are not what is or
dinarilV called ohServont JewS. 1nd eyen
those who are yet look upon political
Zionism as a natiOnalistic rather than as
a religious movement. The position taken
by DR.. Herzl has been modified somewhat
by the unfolding of the movement, but
essentially the platform of modern Zion
esm remains as first formulated, having as
its ultimate aim the establishment in Pal
estine of a political centre which shall be
the restored national homeland of the
Jews.
How in the face of this Mr.. Sokolow
can say in his introduction Up. XVI that
it is "falacious" to assume that Zionism
aims at the creation of an independent
Jewish State and that the Jewish State
was never a part of the Zionist pro-
gramme" it is hard to understand Why

the past years to obtain political control

addition to the irrelevant chapters already
instanced, is merely calculated to obscure
the issue involved in the modern Zonistic
movement.
The fact is, as clearly set forth in an
earlier work on "Zionisin," by Prof. Rich
ard Gottheil of Columbia University
(1914), which is a genuine history Of the
movement, that an entirely new turn. to
Zionistic aspirations in the past was given
by the appearance in 1896 of a mono
graph of the late DR.. Theodor Herzl under
the title of The Je,cish State In that
monograph DR.. Herzl proposed as the So
luton of what he called "The Jewish Prob
lem" the reorganization of the Jews as a
national and political unit with visible
political centre. Through the influence Of
DR.. Herzl, a man of magnetic qualities
and of extraordinary Energy, Jewish
congress was convened in Basel In 1897,
and, Palestine having been selected as the
visible political centre, the modern Zion
istic movement which Is distinctly polit-
cal in character was launched.
Political Zionism, of which DR. Herzl
thus became the founder, arose as a re-
action against anti-semitism, which was
rampant in various parts of Europe

fury. DR.. Herzl interpreted the wide
spread prejudice against the Jews as due
to the circumstance that they represent
separate nationality and that as such they
form a foreign element in the countries
in which they had settled. His conclusion,
therefore, was that the Jews should recog-
nize this fact and seek to become a
genuine nationality by recognizing them
selves as a nation. While he realized that
only a small proportion of Jews could
ever become in the full sense part and
parcel of such a nationality settled in
some centre, yet the existence Of "Jew-
ish State" would serve to keep alive the
feeling of nationalistic solidarity among
Jews and that such a state could also ex-
ercise pressure through diplomatic chan
nels to protect Jews in Russia, Poland and
Rumania and elsewhere against acts Of re-
preston and cruel persecution

II.

The author himself contributes lengthy
introduction in which he sets forth his
views on Zionism, and it may be said with
due recognition of his earnestness and
enthusiasm thai the fifty-tkree chapters
into which he divides his first volume are
merely a commentary to the introduction
with illustrations of his theme drawn from
events in the history of se Jews during
the past three centuri =. 1t may be that
in the second voluna he viii get down to
"History of Zori>ln," but certainly in
the first one there is little to suggest a
historical treatment of his theme-hardly
even a logical treatment. He might at
least have arranged his loosely connected
chapters in a chronological order instead
of moving forward and backward like a
weavers shuttle.
Everything that comes to Mr. Sokolow's
mill is grist for him to be ground up into
Zionistic propaganda. Because a distin-
guished Amsterdam Rabbi. Manasseh ben
Israel, Il augh whose efforts the Jews
were admitted into England under
Cromwell 5 regime, believed as every one
did in the seventeenth century in the
orthodox doctrine of the restoration of the
Jews to Palestine, several chapters are de-
voted to an analysis of Manasseh's writ
ings to prove what nobody denies.
But what has, the restoration of the
Jews to England to do with the modern
Zionistic movement Still less obvious is
the connection between Zionism and the
influence exerted by the Billie upon Eng

quire demonstration and Zionism. Yet
