attempt was being made to boycott

This was merely making the economic
crisis in the country even more Sc

agrarian. The industries of the co'i'

THE characters in this movie are taken

DIABOLlCAL ISSUES.

Prior to our entry into the great
world war. one of our well known fel-
low citizens appointed himself an
apostle of peace. He built ship, en-
gagged crew and sailed forth with
numerous assistants Europeward to
establish calm there. In all the chaos
and turmoil his arrival was not
noticed. He was not head. and he re-
turned a disappointed man because he
had failed to become a Savior.
This same citizen, who, by the way,
is multi-millionairc. is today attempt

ccuntrymen. He edits and publishes

thru which he desires to make himself

articles in this Journal lic attempts TO
create an issue, with the sole object
of sidetracking other issues and ques

/
estine. And we must aid in its restora-
ton. The need has never been greater
I than now"
A stirring message which ] had the
pleasure of hearing. was brought to the
Jews of San Francisco recently, by n
Hebrew scholar, and man thoroly
familiar with the situation. This man,
Jehuda Barak, was touring the country
! in order to enlightcn the Jewish peo-
pie as to the reason my so much
money is needed in Palestine. His per-
sonal c.Iarm, his eloquent. magnetic
words. and his fluency of speech can
not e portrayed. but in II simple way
l ant to repeat some Of the vital
T. ,ngs he said.
He began the address which held his
audience spell-bound for fifty minutes
by saying that over there the country
is not called Palestine. Our people
call it Erez YisrOel- the Land of
Israel. He compared the nations to a
tree:
"The tree puts forth leaves and
buds. 1t gives us shade. 1t gives us
fruit. After many years of useful
ness it ceases producing. The buds and
leaves die. 1t gives shade no longer
The wood decays. Only the roots re-
main, and they are deep down under
ground. The student of nature says:
Its usefulness is gone; it is of no
-,I, 10, g,,t l,nt
he. 1t has served humanity, and no
service dies. Babylon, Persia, Rome
Greece; each served II mighty purpose
in civilization and education, and each
passed away when the sdmmit of its
usefulness was reached The student
of science says: They could no long
er serve: they had nothing more 70
give the world Yet We know that
what they gave can never die 1t Is
and ever will be preserved in libraries,
for the benefit Of mankind.
In Erez Yisrocl.' the people live in
and with the Holy Book. To them the
heroes of the Bible, the great Law
giver. the prophets, the kings, the
scers. the priests, the pealInists are
still living men, and the history of
their lives as told in the Bible. is only
the beginning of book TO which they
are adding by writing new chapters.
Israel ceased producing. In more than
a thousand years it has given very lit
tle 10 the world, yet Israel did not
die. The roots still live and it still
has a mission. 1t will serve humanity
as before. and the Biblical prophecy
will be fulfilled
The Jews must have some place of
their own for a refuge when driven
from land to land by persecution and
massacres, and of those there arc mil
lions. Rumania, Russia and other
lands will not keep them. Two places
are left. Palestine and America. and
America would not cordially welcome
a few millions of foreign Jews any
more than she welcomes the Chinese.
The founders of Zionisln forcsaw all
this and, forty yeacrs ago, small com
rany of men. The Pilgrim Fathers of
the Jews went to Palestine to investi-
gate conditions and to purchase rs
much land as possible. After consid-
cradle pleading and the expenditure of
vast sums of money, two tracts Of
land were shown thep, one swamp
the other desert. These are the
only places we will sell you
The delegation bought the desert and
the swamp. The desert blooms even
as the former deserts of California
bloom. In Erez Yisroel it was ac-
complished by gigantic effort and the
cost of many lives.

AND
POLES RE EADy To
DISCUSS PEACE

10y MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wiRsl
Warsaw, March 31.-The note
concerning peace pourparleurs ad-
dressed to the Poles by M. Tchit-
cherin, Russian soviet foreign min
lister, says the Russian republican
government of soviets accepts
pleasure the Polish communication
indicating Poland's readiness to
open peace negotiations April TO-,
seeing in it future friendship be-
tween two neighboring countries
With reference TO ceasing mill
tary activities and meeting for the
discussing of peace, Tchitcherin
says
I'm the meantime the soviet gov
ernment proposes an armistice on
the entire Polish Russian front and
wishes the assembly Of the Polish
and Russian peace delegations to
take place on neutral ground, pre-
ferably in some town IN Esthonia."
The Poles have contended from
the beginning that they would
agree to an armistiCe, the militar-
lists holding that the bolsheviki only
desired time in which to bring up
renforcements along the whole
front.
No announcement has been
made to NJ. Patek, Polish foreign
minister, as to when a reply will be
sent to the soviet government, but
it is intimated that he will decline
to consider an armistice and oppose
the suggestion for the meeting to
take place in Esthonia. the Poles
contending that Borisov on the
Polish frontier, is the most practi-
cal point for both sides concerned
in the controversy.

FIRE OF CUMMINGS

n1ittee CriticizeS Their AC-
ton; DOuotS if Wilson VIII

tsY MORNING JouPNAL SPECIAL LEssEo ~Issl
Washington, April 1-Republi-
can leaders in the house completed
today their plans TO put through a
week from tomorrow a resolution
declaring the state of war with
Germany at an end. The measure
was favorably reported today by
the foreign affairs committee api
viii be taken up next Thursday un-
der a nine hour debate rule which
will bring the vote on Friday.
Action of the republicans drew
the fire tonight of Homer s Cum
mings. chairman of the democrats
national committee. In a statement
to press representatives he said 1t
marked "about the lowsst point of
moral capacity to which republican
leadership has descended" II was
an attempt, he added, to use the
treaty of Versailles without first
accepting it, and could and prob
ably would lead TO international
complications, the seriousness OF
which it is difficult at This time to
conjecture"
The resolution was reported on
a strict party vote by the foreign
affairs committee. representative
IHuddleston democrat. Alabama;
refused to vote but his colleagues
on the committee all opposed the
report.
Republican leaders revised their
plan to call the measure up Mon
day because of the probable alb
sence of members on that day
owing to the Easter holidays. They
had no doubt that 1t would be
adopted, although the democrats
were lining up against il. but were
not equally confident that the
the necessary two-thirds to carry IL
over presidential veto could be
obtained.
In that connection Mr. Cum
mings said he did not think, "for
one moment that the president
would sign such resolution" He
said the house was attempting to
exercise powers ii did not possess.
Discussing the general political
situation, Mr.. Cummings indicated
that the democratic leaders ex-
pected to have IN aid of the pres
ldent In the coming campaign
II hope that the president will
be able to participate actively IN
the campaign" he said. He is i'm
proved i'm health and while he may
not be able to take the stump he
can still write and he can always
be heard through MS writings"
He said he had not discussed
this phase lately with the president
but that he had "little difficulty in
ascertaining the presidents posi-
tion on the question which | deem
crucial"
Asked for the democratic view
of the announcement of Herbert
Hoover as a candidate for the re-
publican presidential nomination,
Mr.. Cummings said:
1T is always bad thing to see
an essential democrat attempt TO
| liberalize a standpat party. Sup
pose we let that stand"
Mr. Cummings said he assumed
that the question of a more liberal
construction of the Volstead pro-
hibition enforcement act would be
before the San Francisco conven-
tion and also the Chicago conven-
ton"

dress delivered at a republican
rally here tonight, He de-
nouneed the candidacy of
''favorite son" and upheld a
system of compulsory military
education as the crying need
of the youth of America.
There is a disposition now to
point the finger of scorn at the
uniform" the general said. THE
man who does it insults the
memory of every dead American
in France. Let us have done
with attacks on the uniform for
purely political purposes. The
men who make these attacks
are men who, though they have
had ample opportunity to put on
the uniform in time of danger,
have always found something
elso TO do"
General Wood declared he
had no patience in dealing with

little in political propaganda
that has been more vicious than
