TOLSTOY'S OPINION OF THE
JEWS.

"What is Jew? This question is
not at all SO odd as it seems. Let us
see what kind of peculiar creature the
Jew is, whom all the rulers and all ma
tons have together and separately
abused and molested, oppressed and
prosecuted, burned and hanged and
who in spite of all this is yet alive |!

friends regarded me as II l were
almost an anti-Semite. To be per-
fectly frank, never could under
stand the logic of the anti-Zionists.
Indeed, it is impossible for me to
understand how Jew can be any
thing but Zionist"
"The American people are in COM
plete sympathy with the Zionist
aspirations and if l were in the
White House I would heartily sup
port the Balfour Declaration. There
is no doubt, however, that Americas
attitude in this matter is the same
as that of Great Britain
And when the other gentleman of
the interviewing party remarked to
him that anti-Zionists denied that
the Jews are people, arguing that
they are merely a religious sect, Mr..
Taft replied: "How can they say
such thing? The Reformed Jews
are the best proof that the Jews are
a race and not a religious sect, be-
cause in their religion they are
really Unitarians.
Since Rabbi Philipson's name was
mentioned in the interview as one
with whom Mr.. Taft had had dis
cussions on the subject, the Rabbi
at once wrote to Mr.. Taft asking if
he was correctly reported, trying at
the same time to convince him that
no one could give allegiance to two
nationalities or be loyal to two flags
at one and the same time. OF
course, DR.. Philipson by this time
ought to know and to understand
that Zionists in this country are no
more loyal to two flags or divide
their allegiance than do Americans
of Irish descent who are interested
in and supporting Ireland's striv-
ing for independence. This gratui-
tous, unfounded and utterly non
sensical charge against Zionists
ought not to be repeated by Jew
who is at all interested in the well
fare of his fellow-J ews, whatever
other arguments he may marshal
against Zionism. Any anti-Semite
who is looking for some grounds Of
attack on Jews, will say to the half
million Zionists in this country:
"Your own Rabbi says that you Ii
onist Jews are not and cannot be
Fundamentally loyal to this coun-
try"
At any rate, Mr.. Taft fastened to

Washington. Two men of foreign
type sat on the other side of the car.

that the difference was not as to
mere colonization of Palestine by
Jews, but rather as to the spirit and
future psychology of the movement,
and that l thought it would be pre-
sumptuous and unwise in me, a non
Jew, to essay judgment in such
a field.
Mr.. Raskin was evidently a poet
and admitted it. He was an ardent
enthusiast and expressed great con-
tempt for those Jews who disagreed
with him. His companion, whose
name escaped me, said that he was
going to Palestine to live and for

lish this. With best wishes, believe
me, sincerely yours,
(Signed) VIM H. Taft
Now the reader will notice that
in his reply Mr.. Taft does not say
that he is not a Zionist, or at least
in sympathy with the movement,
and does not admit the logic of Dr.
Philipson's charge that Zionism
means divided allegiance. Is his
silence an admission? Is Mr.. Taft
really a Zionist? Judging by his
otherwise clear and logical mind
and broad and liberal spirit we are
inclined to think that he is.

FOL

Wnat is Jew, WHO mas never allowed
himself to be led astray by all the
earthly possessions which his oppres-
sors and prosecutors constantly Of
fered him in order that he should
change his faith and forsake his own
Jewish religion?
''The Jew is the pioneer of liberty.
Even brought down from heaven the
everlasting fire, and has illumined with
it the entire world. He is the religious
force spring and fountain out of which
all the rest of the peoples have drawn
their beliefs and their religions.
1.-THE Jew is the pioneer of liberty.
Even in those olden days when the
people were divided into but two dis
tinct classes, slaves and masters
even so long ago had the law of Moses
prohibited the practice of keeping a
person in bondage for more than six
years.
"The Jew is the pioneer of civiliza-
ton. Ignorance was condemned in
older Palestine more even than it is
today in civilized Europe Moreover
in those wild and barbarous days when
neither the life nor the death Of any
one counted for anything at all, Rabbi
Akiba did not refrain from expressing
himself openly against capital punish
ment, practice which is recognized
today as highly civilized way of pun
iShment.
'The Jew is the emblem of civil and
religious federation. Love the stran-
ger and the sojourner,' Moses COM
mands, because you have been stran-
gers in the land of Egypt And this
was said in those remote and savage
times when the principal ambition of
the races and nations consisted in
crushing and enslaving one another.
AS concerns religious federation, the
Jewish faith is not only far from the
missionary spirit of converting people
of other denominations, but, on the
contrary, the Talmud commands the
rabbis to inform and explain to every
one who willingly comes to accept the
Jewish religion all the difficulties in
volved i'll its acceptance, and to point
out to the would-be proselyte that the
righteous of all nations have a share
in immortality.
