Earring 20 redouble its efforts during
the remaining months of 1919, ac-
cording to the semi-annual report
just issued by Henry H. Rosenfelt,
national director of the organization.
With fine courage and despite the
lack of the old wartime stimulus to
give, the members Of the Committee,
among them almost all of the out
standing figures in American Jewry,
are going ahead with their plans to
appeal for the $35000,00O that are
needed confident that Americans OF
all classes and creeds will respond to
the piteous cries Of Europe's widows
and orphans for bread and clothing
and the other bare necessities Of life.
$50 long as the war continued Mr..
Rosenfelt says in his report, "any
movement arising out of war needs
secured with little difficulty the great
popular support accorded to all patri-
otto endeavors. City We'd with city
and state with state to put the drive
over the top. With the coming of
peace reaction was inevitable. The
public became weary and critical.
Business men became less inclined to
contribute large sums and the lead
ing citizens who had put their vigor,
their personality and their prestige
behind patriotic causes felt that they
were entitled to respite and turn
back to their own business problems.
I'm the face of this situation in
America we are confronted with n
need which is Vastly increased-in-
deed unparalleled Suffice it to say
that we see our brothers and sisters
and our stricken Jewish children in
Poland, in Galicia, in Lithuania and
elsewhere perishing of starvation and
disease. Now at last we are permit
ted to send them food and clothing to
the extent Of our recources, and car
goes are sailing frequently. These
shipments invole the expenditure OF
vast sums Of money What we shall
be called upon to send when we are

the most strenuous efforts to replen.

individual led an isolated existence,
it took the form of individualistic
justice-a communion between man
and his creator Yet, even in those
days we find that from the Ten Com
mandments and the words of the
Prophets down to the disputes Of the
Talmudists, the emphasis is laid upon
the rules of right conduct between
man and man, rather than upon theo-
logical theories.
It is but natural that during the
last century, when life has become
complex and people live and act and
think in groups, that the Jewish pas
sion for justice should be extended
into the larger concept which we call
social Justice" Karl Marx, Lassalle
and the host of Jewish labor leaders
of today, beginning with Gompers,
are simply illustrations Of this dis
tinctive Jewish trait, even the many
Of their labor leaders deny the moth
er race from which they inbibed their
ideals.
1t il, therefore, altogether proper
that when the Zionist ideal is trans
formed from an old time dream of the
Ghetto into matter for concrete ac-
complishment that the program for
actual achievement in Palestine should
reflect this passion for social justice"
The Pittsburgh Platform may be
summarized in the following three
"battle-cries for freedom: Q) Land
Naturalization; (2) The Co-opera-
tive Commonwealth; (3) Equal
Rights. The first is expressed in the
phrase that the land Of Palestine
"shall be owned or controlled for the
benefit "of the people of Palestine as
a whole" This is not the place for a
discussion of the measures whereby
such program is to be achieved, but
it is sufficient for us to understand
that the Zionists Of America have re-
solved that the benefits which come
thru increasing land values will not
20 into the pockets Of land specula-
tors, but will always remain "com-
munity values" which will go into
the public treasury. This is merely
the modern Interpretation Of the
phrase:-"The land is mine," saith
the Lord, land We are only my ten
ants
The second principle does not nee
essarily involve the endorsement Of a
Socialist State for Palestine, but il
does indicate that the Zionists OF
America are resolved to encourage CO
operative enterprise to the largest ex
tent possible, so that Cooperative
Commonwealth may be gradually
evolved, without, however, crushing
individual initiative. There is nj
simple formula by which the Cooper
alive Commonwealth can be achiev

struggle and experimentation. In an,
event, we have set the goal
The third principle is one wit
which all Americans are familiar-a
least in theory, though we may fal
short in actual practice. Whereas
however, we confine our program o
"equal right" to the narrow field o
politics, the Zionists Of America woul
apply il to all Of life-to politics an
economics, to law and industry.

America hope to establish in Pales-
tine.
Its six leading clauses are:
LIST. Political and civil equality ir-
respective of race, sex, or faith Of
all the inhabitants of the land.
End. To insure in the Jewish ma
tional home in Palestine equality Of
opportunity, we favor policy which
with due regard to existing rights
shall tend to establish the ownership
and control of the land and of all ma
tural resources, and of all public util-
tiles by the whole people.
Bird. All land, owned or controlled
by the whole people should be leased
on such conditions as will insure the
fullest opportunity for development
and continuity Of possession.
4th. The cooperative principal
should be applied as far as feasible in
the organization Of all agricultural,
industrial, commercial, and financial
undertakings.
5th. The fiscal policy shall be
framed so as to protect the people
from the evils of land speculation and
from every other form of financial
oppression.
9Th. The system of free public in
struction which is to be established
should embrace all grades and de-
partments of education.
THE seventh and final clause, pro-
viding that Hebrew shall be the lang
uage of instruction, is not germane
to this article).
We are not satisfied merely with
duplicate Of the numerous small states
of Europe and America. We believe
that the two thousand years Of suf-
fering and martyrdom Of the wander
ing Jew has given to our race a
wealth Of experience which, added to
the ancient heritage Of the Jew, can
be made fruitful in the creation of a
model Commonwealth in the land Of
our forefathers. This is not mere
empty boast Of group Of chauvin-
lists, nor is it an attempt merely to in
terpret in modern phraseology, the
ancient challenge of "a chosen peo-
pie" Every people that has played
an important part in history is a
"chosen people"-chosen to carry out
the task which history reveals as its
particular province. Thus we think
of the English as the race that has
given us Parliamentary Govern
ment"; France, as the land Of art and
esthetics; of Italy, as the country Of
music and song. There have beer
many English artists as there have
been great French Parliamentary
leaders, yet the great quantity OF Eng
lishmen are opponents Of representa-
tive government, even as the grea
quantity of Frenchmen and Italians
are interested in art and beauty, II
music and song.
And so, history shows the Hebrew
. with a major characteristic that i
easily recognized. From Moses, tn
lawgiver, to the Prophets Of Israel
from the sages who composed tn
Talmud to the Jewish labor leader

fury, the distinctive Jewish notes l

the land.
A Royalty is the amount Of oil paid
to the owner Of the land by the oil
company which is developing the prop
erty, as rental for the land. 1t is
usually the custom for the oil COM
pany to pay the land owner 18th Of
all the oil produced from the land,
and this is FREE OF ALL COST TO
THE ROYALTY OWNER.
Royalty Is Perpetual.
Royalty is perpetual and lasts for
ever If oil is later discovered at
depths lower in the earth than they
are now finding it, say five or ten
years or at any time later, you or
your heirs still own the royalty and
will get your share of the oil pro-
duced.
The oil company must pay all ex-
penses of drilling wells. building pipe
lines, erecting storage tanks to take
care of the oil, and all other expenses,
which expenses are generally very
large. If the wells get to point
where they do not flow naturally, 1t
is necessary to pump them with ex-
pensive machinery and labor, and this
expense is very heavy. In the case
Of stakeholder in stock company, they,
of course, have to bear their proper
tionate part Of this expense; but roy
atty owner does not have to stand
any expense whatsoever. All he has
to do is to cash his check once month
for his portion of the oil produced.

as many of them are now worth $l0,-

These farmers were nearly all very
poor and had not had good crop in

ten very little for the drilling privi-

 Ratification of the German treaty by the royal decree of the King of Italy virtually completes the steps cneesary for putting into effect the pact between Germany and the allied powers, which was signed at Versailles on June 2S and which stipulated it would become operative when ratified by three of the great powers. The British parliament has already rati- fled the treaty and the document now awaits the. signature of King George before becoming effective in Great Britain.

Five hundred more lrovs,-, fresh from riot duty at Omaha, Neb., were on their way here early today.
 The call for federal troops was made by James P. Goodrich. gov ernor of Indiana, after thousands of strikers paraded and held mass meet ings after being forbidden by their mayor, the police and approximate 300 state militiamen stationed at Gary.
 The course of the strike here has foeen marked by little violence. With the reports during the last week that strikers in increasing numbers were resuming their old places in the steel mills, however, the attitude Of pickets, whose numbers also increa>s- ed, became threatening and for a time 1t seemed as if a serious clash would be unavoidable.
 With the parade yesterday, accord ing to statement by Gov. Goodrich, the situation became so threatening that it was deemed advisable to ask for federal troops. The governo or acted on the advice of Mayor Hodges of Gary and Harry B. Smith, state ad- jutant general, he said. Both off1- cials expressed alarm at the atti- tude of the ten thousand strikers in Gary and said they feared that the small number of state troops station ed there was insufficient to cope with the situation" read the gover- nor's staten ent.
 Upon the arrival of the federal sol d1ers, and the issuance of a procla- nation by General Wood proclaiming military control, the state militia were ordered in Indiana Harbor and East Chicago, Ind, where Governor Goodrich declared martial law.
