ZlonlSm as a political move
ment has ended with a creation
of a larger Jewish Home. Its
work now is the development of
Palestine"
We have not agreed with the
political aspiration Of the Zion
list party, but we do not have to
agree with them to do what we
can, in order to aid the indus
trial development of the land.
1t is only too true that the ter
rible pogroms and the persecu-
tons of Eastern Europe will
force the Jews there to emf.
CRATE, and they must go some
where. America does not seem
10 want them. South America
has already indicated unfriend-
illness towards them. Africa
holds but a little encouragement
for them, and the land of Pal
estine beckons them to come
hither. 70 alleviate the distress
CT these unfortunates is a holy
duty, and upon America this
obligation rests more than upon
the other lands. We cannot,
however, forbear to state that
We do not agree with that pro-
vision of the mandate which
protects the national rights of
Jews in other countries, by stat
ing that Jews of American,
British or French birth may re-
tain their nationality, although
they are at the same time citi-
zens of the State of Palestine.
We believe that we may say
confidently that the Supreme
Council at San Reno cannot
legislate regarding the nation
atty of any Jews excepting
those of Palestine which is un-
der the mandate of Great Brit
ain, and whatever they say, will
not effect the Nationality and
citizenship Of the Jews of other
lands. So far as we are concern
ed, we are citizens of America.
We are not citizens of Palestine.
We are not capable of a double
political loyalty. If this is a
weakness-it is ours. We pro-
test against the Supreme
Council changing our citizenship
and as for ourselves-we do
not accept the change. But we
repeat, we shall do everything
in our power to further the
cause of Judaism in Palestine
and we shall contribute what we
can to its industrial and COM
mercial growth. The people of
the Holy Land need us-and in
their dire extremity, we shall
not fail them!

HOME LAND.

1AC Oupi CiuC OouhSh oV N@AA
Reno has placed Palestine un-
der a British Mandate and
has established again the an
Gent limits of the Holy Land
which it calls the National
Home for the Jews" The Asso-
ciated Press states the follow
ing. "The terms Of the man.
date protect the national rights
of Jewish citizens of other
countries. That is to say, Jew
of American, British, French or
other nationality may retain
his nationality although he is
also citizen of the State OF
Palestine. The rights of Arabs
also are protected, there being
100000 in Palestine and 100000
Jews. The mandate is limited
generally by what is known as
the Balfour declaration. British
forces have been in occupation
of Palestine since the defeat OF
the Turkish forces by the Brit
ish Field Marshall, Viscount
Allenby."
The news that Palestine has
been placed under England has
been received with unbounded
joy by millions of our corelig-
ionists. The reconstruction work
in Palestine will receive new
and added impulse. Assurances
have been given by British del
egates to the Supreme Council
that the military administration
of Palestine, which has been
unsatisfactory to Jews will be
changed to a sympathetic civil
rule.
While Palestine now has a
population of 100000, of which
about 100000 are Jews and
the rest largely Arabs, the land
can. hold three or four times
that number. The Zionist Or
ganization maintains that hun
dreds of thousands of corelig-
ionists from Russia, Poland and
Roumania are anxious and
ready to emigrate to the land of
their fathers. The important
question before those who are
interested in the development
of Palestine is not how to get
more people there, but how to
prevent those who come there
from becoming public charges.
For the purpose of developing
the agricultural, industrial and
commercial pursuits there, a
fund of Ten Million dollars is
being raised in the United
States. To this fund everyone
should contribute. 1t is not a
question of one being a Zionist
or an anti-Zionist. To quote Ben
jamin Cohen, prominet Zionist:

nave always been working IN Is
rael, the centripetal and the cen
trifugal, Nationalism and De-na-
tionalism, the one striving to-
wards the center, the other
striving towards the periphery.
Both of these forces working in
opposite directions.
The aim Of the Nationalist
was to keep up the Jewish Ma
tionality, to defend and guard
the wall and boundary that sur
rounds the Jewish nation. They
looked upon the exile as a tenn
porary calamity from heaven and
as the Talmud expresses itself,
"as a son who has been driven
away from his fathers table and
who keeps on hoping to regain
his fathers love-" and return to
his table.
The De-nationalists believed
that the exile was not a calamity,
it was rather a blessing. They
claimed that the Jew is too hu-
name to fence himself in, and
live for his nation only, and that
the Jewish religion is too great
a religion to be in possession of
the Jews only. That God has
sent us into exile to disseminate
these ideals amongst our neigh
bors. That we are the leaven
which serves to unite the whole
world and form it into one great
human family.
Considering these two views
we cannot wonder why there is
such a bitter opposition existing
between the adherents of one and
the adherents of the other.
However, if we should make a
close study of the inner and out,
ward life of any other nation on
earth, we would find these same
forces, the centripetal and CEN
trifugal existing also there and
although they work in opposite
directions they do not destroy
one another. If we consider the
life of any nation we find that it
tends to "nationalize" every
thing coming in contact with it.
The instinct of self-preservation
has been implanted in nations as
well as in individuals. And yet
every nation gives its possessions
to the world. English literature
is not the sole property of the
English people. 1t is universal
property. Its philosophers have
influenced the world and not only
England. Its scientists have
wrought miracles all over the
world and not only in England.
This proves to us that a nation
can have both forces within it.

another, the centripetal force
without the counteraction of a
centrifugal force would be un-
able to succeed. China gives us
an Illustration of a centripetal
force without the counteraction
of centrifugal force. 1t is well
known to all that China is two
thousand years backward of
modern civilization. Even Or
thodox Judaism as long as it did
not equalize the centripetal and
the centrifugal forces, as
long, as it excluded everything
modern, was in danger of meet
ing with the same fate. 1t was
only with the introduction
OF modern thought into its sys-
tenn, although it did not reject
any of its old principles, that Or
thodoxy regained its foothold.
We can give no illustration of a
centrifugal force without the
counteraction of a centripetal
force tor the only illustration of
such an attempt would be Re-
form Judaism and this movement
is so young that we do not draw
any conclusion whether it will re-
suit in success or a failure. But
logically, we can deduce from
past experience of the Jewish
history that Reform Judaism
without the national element"
in it must result in failure.
Reform Judaism claims, as we
have said, that its mission is to
disseminate Jewish ideals all
over the world. We will not deny
this, for history itself does not
deny it. The Exile" did serve
this purpose. The Jew in Exile
did in fact disseminate Jewish
ideals. But we must not forget
that it was the centripetal force
that accomplished this working
IN conjunction with the centrifu-
gal force. 1t was because the
exiled Jews kept their national
hopes before them and these
hopes gave them courage to
forge their way through all their
sufferings. If the Jews in Exile
would not have had their nation
al hopes before them they would
have surrendered long ago and
there would have been no one to
disseminate Jewish ideals.
However, if We should admit
that the Jew has a mission to full
fill, which as we have stated we
cannot deny, the question that
confronts us now is, Is the Jew
potentially able to create some
thing new, or did his creative"
period pass already?

VACANCIES NAPARTMENTS
IN NEW YORK CITY FEWER
NNOW THAN FOR MANY YEARS

THE percentage of apartment va
cancies has declined from sc in 1916
to 0.3 In 1890" according to an arti-
Gle in the current issue of Better
Times, by Clarence s. Stein. secre-
tary of the housing committee of
the reconstruction commission of
the State of New York.
According to the statistics of va
cant apartments compiled by the
tenement house department in
March, 1915, 53,541 of the, apart
ments in the city were vacant. This
enabled the tenant to move IL sat-
isfactory treatment was not re-
ceiyed from the landlord. In April,
1920, a similar census revealed only
3,541 vacancies in a total of almost
100000 apartments, and of these
all but 43s were in buildings more
than twenty years old-old-law ten
ements erected before the restric-
tive legislation OF 1901 was enacted.
From 1914 to 1916, inclusive.
there were erected annually on the
average -L.27l buildings, containing
21,517 apartments. At the same
rate of construction 64,55I apart
ments would have been built In
1917, 1918 and 1919. In the first two
of these years, however, only $50
tenements, containing 16,S47 apart
ments, were constructed, and in 1919
there were completed only SO tene-
ments. containing 1,4s1 apartments,
making a total of 1s,42S new apart.
ments for the three years.
with these construction figures
1t Is, however, necessary to consid-
er the number of houses destroyed.

were completed. but 1859 were de-

outcry for increased housing facili-
ties with 37S less apartments than
we had at tho beginning of the
year.
I'm the first six months of 1920
about ninety houses, containing
ALI apartments, were built. In
the same period 1.964 apartments
were demolished or converted for
nonresidential uses. leaving a net
gain of only 207 apartments. In
July plans for only one apartment
and one dwelling were filed in the
Borough of Manhattan, as against
plans for five theaters, lis garages
and three loft buildings.
Rapidly increasing rents have
annoyed the rich, have forced the
moderately well-to-do to accept a
lower standard of living and have
caused untold suffering to the poor.
The rent legislation of last spring
did something temporarily to ame-
liorate the condition of those who
had homes. But. there will be no
relief for New York until the legis-
lature sees clearly that 1t is dealing
not with a rent problem. but with
a housing shortage. a-s
"A thorough investigation of
characteristic blocks in the con-
gested parts of the city was made
by the various settlements under
the direction of the housing COM
mittee or the reconstruction COM
mission more than a year ago. 1t
disclosed the fact that thousands of
apartments unfit for human habita-
tion were then inhabited. Sixteen
thousand more of these antiquated
apartments have since been crowd
ed by families unable to find any
other homes"

VIENNA MARKS
FORCED PEACE
Hold Monster Anniversary
of Protest Against

Vienna, Oct. 23.-The anniversary
OF the -Forcible Peace of st. Ger
main" recently was signaIized by
the largest open-air meeting ever
hela - Vienna which took place in
froLL of the town hall. over 1OO,-
600 were present to protest against
the suppression of Germanism in
Europe, against the subjugation of
many millions Of our brethren"
and against the Entente's decree
forbidding a union between Austria
and Germany.
The flags of Germany and Aus
tria futtered over the vast square
Several hundred associations, COM
Prising all gymnastic, social. scien-
tiic. student, etc, clubs, were off,
cially represented, the students
standards being draped with
mourning stseamers.
The following resolution was
adopted
We solemnly protest against the
suppression Of our nationality and
declare that we shall forever and
ever maintain our national entity
with the suppressed brethren. We
express our deepest sympathy to
these brethren and request them to
bear up In their heavy struggle
We vow to awaken and to keep
alive in our people the conscious
ness Of their suffering and never to
slacken while our ancient German
peoples pine away under foreign
rulership. From the heads of our
government we demand help and we
protest enersetically against a poll
cy Of betrayal of our brethren by
our rulers And we insist on the
right of self-determination for the
German people and its logical con-
sequence-unless juggling with
words Is meant-the Arm union of
all Germans into one Greater Ger
