l say by the Jewish people. For
what is it that the Balfour Declare
ton and the Turkish Treaty have CIV
en-? Not land, but an opportunity
an opportunity again to build up by
our acts, GU rwrok, our men, the Jew
ish life.
In this message of greeting to the
assembled hosts Of the Zionist Organ
ization, shall not endeavor to elab-
crate upon the work Of the past year
or Of the past months. Other speakers
in the course Of our sessions will bring
to you the full details. Let me but
point out to you in a few words, the
responsibility that has now been defn-
itely placed upon US, yea, the Mitzvah,
the privilege. that has been granted
unto US. Surely the hand OF the Al
mighty has guided the Jewish people
in these days Of storm and Of stress.
For. when the night was darkest and
the disasters to which we were begin
ming to become accustomed in Eastern
Europe seemed about to be repeated
even in Palestine itself, the clouds
scattred, the sun shone, and in the
glory Of the daylight, the road Of op-
portunity was revealed.
Within few weeks, the Mandate
will be issued, the present military
rule will be replaced by civil admin
istration. The doors will then be
thrown open primarily to Jewish i'm
migration, but as the Treaty itself
proclaims, with full protection Of the
civil and religious rights Of other
communities resident in the land, and
with complete preservation Of the civ
II and political rights Of Jews, citizens
Of other lands. There will not be,
there can not be n dual citizenship.
Jews who 90 forth to found their
homes in Palestine will like all Of the
other inhabitants Of that land, Jew
and non-Jew alike, be enabled to ac-
quire citizenship therein. But with the
acceptance Of the new citizenship,
there must necessarily be relinquish-
ment Of the old.
There can Of course, be no political
tie between Jews, citizens Of other
countries and those in Palestine, but
there will be, as there have ever been,
the ties that mark the Jews as n peo-
pie, a common kinship, common ira
dition, a common heritage and n COM
mon faith.
The country must be prepared for
the coming Of the masses. Disease
must be eradicated, the hillsides re-
forested, the waterfalls harnessed and
converted into electrical energy, the
soil refertilized and irrigated, the
highways built, the railroads extended,
the harbors cleared and deepened, ag-
riculture, commerce and industry es-
tablished, the land itself in large
measure nationalized, the national re-
sources and the essential public utili-
ties developed and preserved for the
whole people. And over and above all,
the Schools must be maintained and
the Educational life Of Palestine
crowned by the great Jewish Universe
ty. All Of these things must be done
for the benefit Of the entire popula-
ton Of the land, Jew, Arab and Chris
tian alike, in the spirit Of the Pitts
burg Platform and at the bidding OF

It was a tired but earnest crowd of

the fhal reporsG of the membershtp
Sthat mas been under way Tor
eral days
|SsAfter checking up the reports Of
the team captains, 1t was found thai
the cash turned In together with the
checks on the way and the member
ships youched for, sufficient would be
obtained to secuer the $4,000 offered
BY Senator Watson on condition that
$4,000 in cash be secured.
Although all Of the teams worked
hard and faithfully, it is possible that
some persons were not solicited that
ought to be members Of the chamber;
there were also quite a number oil
people out Of the city attending the
Republican National convention at
Chicago and business engagements,
and there Is no doubt that quite a
number Of these Immediately will file
applications for membership.
As there has been some expense
connected with the campaign. the
Chamber OF Commerce will continue
to follow up these prospects with
the hope that enough additional mem
harshins can he secured SO that the
amounts derived from them will be
sufficient TO take care Of these ex-
penses. Anyone desiring to make ap,,
plication for membership should send
a check for $50, which covers a two
years membership, to the Chamber OF
Commerce headquarters IN The Fair
