SANTIAGO. Chile, July (by the AS
sociated Press Since the first stage
of the presidential election in which
Arturo Alessandri obtained a majority
of electors. has passed. Chile has settled
down to await the final result which
will be known late in August. Ales-
sandri obtained 179 electors out of 354
These electors will meet July %. and
both houses of congress viii convene
August 80 to receive the results after
having examined them as a jury on
election.
Congress has the power to declare
vitiated and nullified any number of
electors and may reduce the number OBJ
tained by either or leave both without
the required majority. In such case
congress must proceed to elect a pres
dent. voting only for the two contestants
in the race.
Radical Influence Felt,
Alessandri was nominated by con-
Vention of radical and democratic par
ties, the latter being the nearest thing
to socialism among Chilean political
groups. Barros Borgono his opponent.
was nominated by the liberal, national
ana liberal democratic parties, three of
the moderate groups, and later received
the support Of conservatives The pro-
grams of the candidates were much

legislation relative to labor contracts

DETROIT. July (by the Associates

favoring the projected lakes -to-the-sea

| congress here July 22-24
! Spokesman for commercial industrial
and agricultural interests of the cen
trail west will attend the congress. More
| States and Canada are expected.
| The speakers include a large number
| of professional men. Two more or less
| popular misconceptions regarding the
| project were pointed out here today by
members of the tidewater association.
| One of these is an impression that to
complete the enterprise, engineering work
| on large scale at various points from
| the head of Lake Superior to the sea
| coast must be undertaken. The other
! is a belief that with the opening of the
waterway lake vessels will begin to ply
| between lake ports and Europe.
| Both of these Impressions arc erro-
| neous,' said W. III. Adams, hairman of
, the local committee on inland water
| ways. The engineering work involved
| at present has to do only with the rec
! tiflcation of forty-SiX miles of the st.
| Lawrence river between Lake Ontario
| and Montreal. 1t is probable the engi-
ncerS will recommend that this be done
i through construction of four dams to
drown out the rapids. converting the
river into a series of lakes. 1t has been
| estimated that the enterprise will cost
S150,000,0 600 and that it can be complet-
| ed in five years.
Opening of the waterway, Mr. Adams
said. will not mean that lake carriers
will go through to Europe: they are not
built for ocean travel, he explained
What it will mean,'' he continued. lis
that every lake port will become an
ocean port and the continent will ac-
quire the service of the worlds merchant
fleets
In discussing the estimated cost of the
! undertaking. Mr. Adams said that the
four dams would develop more than A.
100000 horsepower, which, when com
mercialized. would, within two years
more than equal the cost of the opening
of the route. Utilization of this hydro
power. he added. would mean coal con-
servation in excess of 50,000.000 tons
annually.
Opposition to the proposed undertake
ing thus far has come chiefly from New
York. Mr. Adams expressed the belief
that most of this opposition would dis
appear with a more thorough under
standing of how much of the HYDRO
power would naturally accrue to New
York

plement and fortify each other. Zion
ism cannot and should not be ham,
pered by old, meaningless, and out
worn customs and traditions that
had purpose and value during our
ghetto life, but make no appeal to
free and rational minds now. The
Jew in, as well as out, Of Palestine
will now be a modern man, a man
with modern rational ideas on all mat
tiers, including religion. He will not
concede that carrying a handkerchief
or an umbrella on the Sabbath is
sin, or that reading the Torah with
out the sing-song "trop" is viola
ton of sacred ordinance.
On the other hand Zionism restores
to liberal Judaism the old ideals of
genuine Jewish education and Jewish
culture. The loss or surrender of
these ideals has been the greatest
weakness of liberal Judaism, and has
meant well-nigh complete de-Juda-
ization. The study of the Hebrew
language and Hebrew literature is an
essential element of Judaism, and
source of it's continued rehabilitation.
This must be the chief function of
Zionists in America-to establish CEN
tiers Of Jewish culture wherever pos
sible; to carry this gospel to those
sections of the community where it
is most needed, namely, the young,
liberal, Americanized sections. The
combination of liberal Judaism and
Zionism will thus be most fruitful of
good results.

YOUNG JUDEA AND THE JEWISH
COMMUNITY.

The Mid Western Conference Of
Young Judea opening Saturday eve
ming in st. Paul is an event that must
not be passed by without some COM
ment. The Jewish Communities of
the Twin Cities should feel proud that
the Natiopal Zionist Administration
has seen fit to bring the conference
here rather than elsewhere since it
indicates that the work done here in
Young Judea merits the highest COM
mendation. 1t shows that what
has been done here can we'll serve as
a model for other communities.
And indeed well we may rejoice be-
cause of what has been accomplished.
Our juvenile Zionist work has during
the, past year received such. great i'm
petus that it's future seems assured.
At a time when no one in the COM
munity paid any attention to the ne
glect of our youth, when not a sin
gle organization seemed to be con-
cerned with the embodiment of the
Jewish soul in our children, their
growth and development along lines
distinctly Jewish, there arose group
of young pioneers in Jewish club work
who dared take step forward. It
was the loyalty and devotion to Jew
ish idealism .imbued within the souls
of these pioneers which became united

Gates to the investing public. The
Minnesota Bonus Board wishes to in
sure the uninterrupted payment of
soldiers bonuses, and is, therefore,
anxious that these certificates be tax
en- up as quickly as possible. Since
the certificates bear per cent inter
est, and are exempt from all Federal
and State taxes, wellneed not urge
upon our readers the, merits of the
proposition from an investors point
of view, considering the, quality of the
security which is the credit off the
State of Minnesota. s, r9<9t oi5
But aside from1its merit as a bust
ness proposition, it should appeal to
our patriotism and to our sense of
gratitude to our boys, for whose bene-
fit the certificates are being sold. The
sacrifices our boys drought on the
altar Gof patriotism cannot. be a,de-
quately compensated even with lib
eral bonus. But we can show them
slight token of our appreciation by
promptly responding to the call of
the Soldiers Bonus Board.

PALESTINE AND POLANDAA 81
gSsDIFFERENCE., itssrf o.

Jews have been massacred in PO-
land and few Jews have recently
been killed or wounded in Palestine.
But there is a difference, a, vast, diff
ference. In Poland. Jews have been
killed by brutal hordes Of soldiery
and hoolfgans because they were
helpless and defenseless, because of
the old enmity against the Jew, be-
cause Jewish life has always been
considered cheap, and because the
murderers knew there would be no
vengeance, no one to take them to
account. The Jews could not resist,
dared not resist, or their fate would
have been even worse. A progrom on
Jews was almost part of the COM
mon order of things. They had had
it repeatedly in old Russia; why not
in Poland or in the Ukraine?
In Palestine it is different. The
fellaheen, the native peasant Arabs,
have no enmity against the Jews. 1t
anything, they consider them their
friends, their benefactors, who have
created new opportunities for labor
and the enjoyment of the fruit of
ones labor, who have built up many
of the ruined and desolate places in
Palestine for the benefit of all. But
some of these fellaheen have of late
been stirred up by rapacious land
holders, by former government offs
Gals, and by some fanatical Moslems
and Christians against the Zionists
and their activities. These are the
ones who have of late shown their
hostility by raids and attacks on Jews,
or by demonstrations against them.
But here the Jews were not found
helpless and defenseless. They met
their enemies in manly fashion, met
violence with violence, and showed
the combined fanatics and marauders
that in the old land of Israel the Jews
were quite ready and willing to fight
for their rights, their possessions and

ZIONISM AND AMERICAN
JUDAISM.

It was not so long ago that in
various Jewish quarters the opinion
was voiced with almost dogmatic
assurance that liberal American Juda-
ism and Zionism were incompatible.
A liberal Jew, we were told, could
not be Zionist, and a Zionist could
not be a liberal Jew, but had to be
orthodox. This opinion, if given Elk
preston nowadays would sound very
ludicrous, in view of the fact that the
leaders and the rank and file of Ameri-
can Zionists now are recruited largely
from the element that cannot be con-
sidered as anything else but religious
ly liberal. The orthodox element recog-
nizing this state of affairs, has now
its own Zionist organization, the
Mizrahi.
The combination of liberal Judaism
and Zionism cannot but work out for
the best interests of both. They sup

the control Of their own affairs. The
sacrifice of a few lives in such a
cause is we'll worth while. The fallen
are no longer victims of pogroms and
brutal mob butcheries but heroes in
struggle for the defense of their
rights and privileges in the land of
their fathers. The story Of the Mac
cabean struggle may be repeated, but
it will add another glorious chapter
to our annals.
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1920-04-23

Even though we speak Of ourselves
as a people, in the sense of a separate
race or nationality, and not merely as
religious communion, it does not
follow that Jew who joins Chris
tian church may still consider himself
a Jew. For the church, according to
it's doctrines and traditions, is the OPP
ponent of the Jewish people, stands
for it's elimination, and was, in the
past at least, the chief agency for it's
degradation. Would Houston Cham
-berlain, though an Englishman born,
who has cast his lot and his sympa-
thies with Germany, be- considered by
English men as one of their own?

rs The 1unassigned-pew system for
liberal Jewish congregations is gain
ing ground. Many have already
adopted it. and others are about to
adopt it. The system recommends it
self not only as matter of greater
democracy in the synagog, but also
as a matter Of good policy and ex-
pediency. When pews are unassigned,
late corners to divine services would
not object to occupying whatever
seats are left, even seats in balconies,
which, as rule, bring no revenue to
the congregation under the old sys-
tenn.

THE AMERICAN JEWISH CON-
GRESS-TO BE OR NOT TO BE.

The agitation for the reconvening
of an American Jewish Congress is
being kept up by the interchangeable
secretary of the last congress, Mr..
Bernard G.. Richards, and number of
other believers in the congress idea.
The heads of three large fraternal
organizations, to-wit: the Orders
Birth Abraham, Birth Sholom, and
Free Sons of Israel have issued call
for a conference to arrange for the
congress. Other bodies may soon join
them in the call, although so far we
have not heard of any.
The question, of course, is: What
is the congress to do? What ques-
tions or problems is it to consider and
take action on? Frankly speaking,
we don't know of any, We should like
to be enlightened by those who do.
The Palestinian problems are being
looked after by the world Zionist or
ganization. The relief of the stricken
Jewish communities of Europe is in
charge of the three War Sufferers
Relief Organizations and the Joint
Distribution Committee. The clauses
in the different peace treaties guar
anteeing the political rights of the
Jewish and other minorities will be
enforced only when there is real
League of Nations with an Interna-
tional Court to which appeal can be
made. Otherwise the remonstrances
of American Jewry through a con-
gress or any other agency will avail
nothing. -~@
AS to our internal problems, they
are not of such character as to make
unanimity in proposed solutions pos
gsible. Our religious interests must
be looked after by the different re-
ligiousS organizations according to the
requirements of their respective con-
stituencies. The United Synagog
cannot look after the welfare of Re-
form congregations, and the Union of
American Hebrew CONGREGATIONS can
mot concern. itself with the needs of
orthodoxy. Our Board, of Delegates,
and our Bnai Birth, exercise due vigi-
lance in regard to our civil and reli-
gious, rights in, this country, and in
protecting the Jewish name from de-
fafnation. What is there now left for
a national Jewish congress to do?
Of course it could take up the ques-
tion of the high cost of living, which
is always timely and legitimate. But
we fear that it will have no greater
success in attempting a solution than
the U. S. Congress has so far had.
And so we ask again: What is the
proposed congress to do? We wish
