JEWISH RADICALS.

Every man has a right to his hon
est opinions. Every man should
have the courage of his convictions,
the courage to make his true
opinions known, and if necessary,
even to fight for them. Only in
that way is truth promoted, enlight-
eminent spread, and progress made.
The American government, being
based on the principles of liberty
and Justice, cannot and does not sup
press freedom of thought and
speech, altho there is growing sec
ton of the American people that
would leave do so, if it had the pow
er.
But people of radical opinions are
an impatient lot. Often they are not
satisfied with merely airing their
opinions, in speech and writing.
They are impatient to see their
ideas accepted by all and applied to
the problems that are more or less
troubling us. They preach revolt
ton and advocate direct action. But
revolution and direct action will no
more settle our problems than war
or. any other form of violence does.
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1919-12-26
THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

is quite natural, therefore, and emf
nently just, too, that this nation in
self-protection should now try by all
possible means to curb the revolt
tionary spirit and to fight and sup
press all such propaganda.
But if the nation at large con-
dennis and is ready to punish all
revolutionary activity, we Jews
should doubly condemn all such
revolutionary radicals who are OF
Jewish antecedents, or Jewish at
filiation. Such radicals, as rule,
are not Jews any more. They have
nothing in common with us. But
they are of Jewish parentage, and
often bear Jewish names, to our
great sorrow. The world gives us
full credit for them, even when it
isanot willing to give us credit for
those men of Jewish descent whom
it honors and admires. A Trotski,
an Emma Goldman, and a Berkman
leave the world with the impress
sion that most Jews are Bolsheviks
and anarchists, altho as matter of
fact the Jewish race probably fur
nishes only it's due proportion to
radicalism, as it furnishes its proper
ton to all other movements and &C
tivities.
But let the Jew of radical opinions
in America consider what America
has meant to us Jews in particular.
Let him compare the condition of
the Jews in the countries from which
we have escaped with our condition
here. Let him realize that most of
us have come to America as Our
haven of refuge, and that most of
us have found here the boons we
were seeking, freedom of conscience,
political liberty, and a larger meas
ure of economic opportunity, much
larger than we could ever hope for
anywhere else. That'seonditions here
are not ideal, not perfect in every
respect, goes without saying. The
millennium has not arrived yet.
Men in America, too, are only hui
man. Perfection may exist in heav-
en-, but as yet nowhere here on
earth.
Let the Jew, therefore, above all
others, be grateful for what Ameri-
ca has meant to us, has been to us,
and has given us, let the Jew Of
radical ideas show less zeal in radi-

to counteract the antl-Z1on1st propa-
ganda of certain popular Yiddish
dailies. The most serious problem,
of course, was the problem Of fnan-
cling it. It was decided that the
money for the project should be
raised exclusive of the regular Zion
list funds.
A Committee of Nine, appointed
by the National Executive Commit
tee, has now submitted to the Zion
lists of the country the following
tentative plan: "To organize a
corporation with a capital stock of
100000 divided equally into ten
dollar shares of common and 6 per
cent cumulative preferred stock.
Fifty-one per cent of the common
stock is to be held by the Zionist
Organization of America, in order. to
assure for it a controlling vote,
through its trustees, in the affairs of
the publication. With each share of
common stock the purchaser should
be entitled to buy two shares of
preferred stock. Payment on the
stock is to be fifty per cent at the
time of purchase, twenty-five per
cent three months thereafter and
three months later, the final twenty
five per cent"
Each District is expected to dis
pose of it's assigned quota of shares.
Zionists are expected to invest their
money in this enterprise, which, we
have good reason for experimenting,
will not prove financial success,
and will last only as long as the
capital invested lasts. Not only will
individual Zionists lose their money
in this venture, but the Zionist or
ganization, too, which according to
the plan, is to retain 81 per cent of
the stock, will lose some of the
money entrusted to it. This is sim
ply another way of doing for the
daily what the Zionists have all
along done for their weekly and
monthly publications, another way
of substituting it.
We believe that this policy is
radically wrong. The Zionist press
should be self-supporting. When
we consider the large number of
Jewish periodicals in this country,
both in Yiddish and English, that
are not only paying for themselves,
but are actually making profits for

Sergeant Foster Of Iowa Falls Reaches
New York From France.

Special to Times Republican
Iowa Falls, May 12-In a message
from the Salvation Army in New York
City. Saturday, Mrs. r. E. Foster was
advised that her son, Sergeant Fred
Hay Foster landed that morning. was
we'll and was stationed at Camp Mills
temporarily. AS Sergeant Foster was
member of the 40th telegraph bat
talon of the signal corps. this means
that many Iowa and Nebraska men
who were members of that battalion
will be home soon. Company ID. OF
which Sergeant Foster was a member
was made up of enlisted men from Des
Moines and Omaha ana was composed
of men who had practical as we'll as
technical training in the telephone and
telegraph service. Sergeant Foster
was one of the first young men to en-
list from this county. having offered
his services on May /. 1917. He was
not called to service until September
of that year and after a couple Of
months training at Camp Alfred Vail
near Little Silver, New Jersey. the bat
talon was sent overseas and has seen
service in France for a year and a
half AS the most of the men in this
unit come from Iowa and Nebraska.
the supposition Is that they will be
sent to Camp Dodge to be discharged.
