The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1919-03-14

Fifteen hundred Jewish citizens of
San Francisco, including many who
are widely known on the Coast in
phi1anthropic and social activity
have joined in protest to Congress-
man Kahn because of his recent
structures against the Zionist move
ment, and they demand of him that
he associate himself with the $50
persons who have signed a petition
to President Wilson asking him to
oppose the granting by the Peace
Conference of National Homeland
in Palestine to the Jewish people.
They called Congressman Kahn's at
tention to the action of the recent
American Jewish Congress, in Phila-
delphia, at which delegates repre-
senting the 100000 Jews of Ameri-
ca, with but two dissenting votes,
adopted a resolution asking the
Peace Conference to establish a Jew
ish Commonwealth in Palestine TN
der the trusteeship of Great Britain,
and assert that the $50 alleged sign
ers to the anti-Zionist petition,
whose names have not yet been re-
vealed, speak only for themselves
and not for the mass-will of the Jew
ish people.
The text of the telegram to Con-
gresham Kahn, copy of which has
been received by the Zionist Or
ganization of America, is as follows:
"The fifteen hundred members of
the San Francisco District of the
Zionist Organization of America
who within the past three months
have in common with one hundred
and fifty thousand or more Jews
throughout the United States sub
scribed to the Basic Platform, which
calls for publicly recognized and
legally secured home for the Jewish
people in Palestine, deeply regret
and deplore your recent protest
against Zionism to President Wilson,
and they urge for your consideration
the following:

was too lost in dreams to follow
his high-fown phrases. She just
looked upon his face and the flower
of her girlhood unfolded and she
was a woman. Her vague dreams
throbbed with life. She had never
read a novel or heard light love
song; but suddenly she understood
why Rachel in the old story had
been willing to follow her lover into
a distant land. There was strange
throbbing in her throat; she felt
it swelling against the gold chain
her uncle had brought her for a
Purim gift.
While the guests applauded,
Reba followed her mother into the
kitchen. She helped her serve the
players with cakes and wine, she
stood wistfully by when her little
brothers and cousins crowded about
the strangers, examining their robes,
begging them for stories of their
adventures. The players were will
ing to talk and their stories held the
youngsters spellbound and he who
had played Mordecai talked oftenest
of all, telling brave stories of great
cities and lonely forests, of country
fairs and kings palaces they had
passed in their journeys.
"I'd like to be a Purim player!
cried the youngest cousin, and the
others laughed. All but Reba.
She said nothing 1t would not
have been modest for her to talk
with these strange men; even
though she was silent, she feared
that at any moment her mother
would call to her to join the others.
But a strange look came into her
dreamy eyes and she saw herself
wandering along the sun-fecked
roads with this boy player in new
world far away from household
cares and cramped corners. And she
would go barefoot as her little broth
ers did in summer and never, never
cut her hair. Her mother called her,
rather sharply, and she hurried into
the other room. Jacob still sat with
the older guests He did not look
as though he had cared for the
Purim play.
When Reba married Jacob she
was too busy with her house and
sewing and the children to dream
any longer. And when she had an
idle moment now and then she used

Congress, there was finally held in
Philadelphia last December Con-
gress of four hundred delegates of
the Jews of America, selected in the
same democratic manner as charac
terizes all our National State and
municipal elections and conventions,
which body was authorized to speak
on behalf of the Jews of America
as no other committees or organiza-
tons or groups of individuals who
have at various times claimed to
speak for the American Jews. This
Congress, thoroughly representative
Of American Jews, unanimously
adopted on the basis of the now ia
nous British Declaration made by
Hon. Arthur J. Balfour, with the ap-
prevail of British War Cabinet on
November 3, 1917, resolution urg-
ing the Peace Conference to recog-
nize the aspirations and historic
claims of the Jewish people in re-
gard to Palestine to the end that
there shall be established such con-
ditions in Palestine as will assure the
development of that country ulti-
mately into a Jewish Commonwealth
with the understanding that moth
ing shall be done which shall pref
udice the right and political status
enjoyed by Jews in any other coun-
try.
"We sincerely regret therefore
that you should at this late date
when Zionism is no longer consid-
cred debatable but an accomplished
fact find it necessary to voice public
antagonism. We believe we have
right to ask you to give further
consideration to this matter and to
renounce your connection with the
one hundred and fifty anti-Zionists
who have no right to urge the views
of anybody but themselves.
