government by them will be the most
progressive and humanitarian on the
face of the EARTH
Mr.. Rhoade was discussing The
Ideal of Zionism," and stated that the
hope OF the Jews, in establishing a
national home. was soon to be
realized.
1T seems probable that the Peace
Conference will restore Palestine to
the Jew said Mr.. Rhoade, 'and
therefore the Jews look forward to a
time when they will be in a position
to be respected and honored as a peo-
pie
The contribution which this pro-
posed Jewish government will make
to civilization will be in the direction
of the realization and establishment
of social and economic justice and
