CONDEMNS POLISH AND
ROUMANIAN PROSECUTIONS
OF JEWS.

(The following remarkable inter-
view on the Jewish Question with
Ex-President Taft was secured by
Mr.. P. M. Raskin, who is member
of the Speakers Staff of the Zionist
Organization of America, while they
were both travelling on an inter-
urban trolley in Pennsylvania. Mr..
Raskin was accompanied by Mr..
Morris Neaman, well known
Zionist of Pittsburg, who partlc1-
pated in the conversation. The in
terview appeared originally in "The
Day" a Yiddish daily newspaper
plished in New York City,.
AS soon as we boarded the car,
my travelling companion called my
attention to the fact that former
President Howard w. Taft, was one
of the passengers. | approached
Mr.. Taft, introduced myself and
told him that I would like to have
his views on Zionism.
"The Zionist movement interests
me very much" Mr.. Taft readily
acquiesced. "The Jews probably do
not know it, but it is fact that [
have always been interested in the
Jewish people and its remarkable
destiny. Only recently wrote an ar
ticle about Jewish prosecutions in
various lands. The continued exis-
tence of the Jewish people, in spite
of all the prosecutions and outrages
which it has endured in all ages, is
most extraordinary Let me tell you
this. I have many Jewish friends,

Ex-President Taft Says
He Is a Zionist

but most of them belong to the Re
form wing, and most of them are
anti-Zionists. am, perhaps, the only
Zionist among them,'' and he
chuckled the familiar Taft chuckle
"What are their objections to
Zionism?" | asked him.
at seems they fear they will be
suspected that they are not good
Americans that they are hyphen-
ated. You understand ="
"You say, Mr.. Taft, that you are
a Zionist" | continued. "You be-
lieve therefore that there is no con-
tradiction between Americanism and
Zionism? In other words, that a
Jew can be a good Zionist and at
the same time a good American?
"Certainly! America consists of
many nationalities, and each one of
these has it's national and spiritual
center somewhere else. And still
they are excellent American citi-
zens. The late war demonstrated
this thoroughly" Mr.. Taft had be-
come serious once more. 81 see no
reason why Jews should not have
Palestine as their national cultural
center. Rabbi David Philipson, of
Cincinnati, with whom | have dis
cussed this matter at various times,
argues that a person cannot at one
and the same time belong to two
nations. But Jews are race How
can they separate themselves from
their race? The Jewish race is per-
haps the strongest of all I say the
strongest because one drop Of Jew
ish blood in another race invariably
makes itself apparent. 1t would oc
cur to no one, therefore, to criti-

cize the Jews because they are a
separate people, and because they
are drawn spiritually to the cradle
of their origin. Yes" he continued,
81 believe that spiritual center for
the Jewish people is not only desir-
able but necessary.
"My friend, Max Pam, of Chicago,
told me recently that many of the
Jewish immigrants from East
Europe become demoralized because
they have lost their own spiritual
atmosphere, and cannot adjust them
selves to new spiritual atmos-
phere. For such people a spiritual
center in Palestine is undoubtedly
necessity. Once, when I gave utter
ance to similar opinion, DIR.
Philipson and my reformed Jewish
friends regarded me as if 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 | were in the
White House | 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
"Anti-Zionists, however, deny
that the Jews are people" re-
marked Mr.. Neaman They argue
that they are merely religious sect.
"1ow can they say such thing" !"
Mr.. Taft remarked. '"The Reformed
Jews are the best proof that the
Jews are a race and not religious
sect, because in their religion they
are really Unitarians."
| then directed the conversation
toward the question Of the pogroms
in Poland, and asked why the Amer
lean Government does not take cog
nizance of these outrages.
