AMERICA is HIGH-MINDED EVEN
WHEN SHE is BIASED.
BY Leo Wo1fson. =!

Interesting from both the American
and from the Jewish standpoints is the
so-ca1led investigation of the charges
against the five "ousted" Socialist as
semblymen at Albany. .,,s y.
From the American standpoint, IN j.
common with many citizens of the coun-
try, I consider the expulsion of these as.
semb1ymen one of the greatest wrongs
which have ever been committed against
America itself. The worst enemy of
our democracy, and of its fundamental
principles, could not have struck it. a.
greater blow than that which it has suf--,
fered at the hands Of Speaker Sweet of
the Assembly. In our entire, existence
as free republic, no more harmful
political act has ever been perpetrated
than the, one1of the Albany politicians. =
Attic, I myself am not a Socialist,
and have often fought the Socialist Par
ty, I cannot condemn the suspension
and trial of the assemblymen too strong
ly Most Jews, I know, have deeply de-
p1ored the whole affair. The JEWISH
papers, without exception have protests
ed renergetica11y and ,courage ouslyi
against this assault upon our free instr
tutions Z and constitutional, rights. l.
know, also, that certain individuals have.
terms against this action of the Assem-
bly,; still, feel that our voice as Ameri-,
can Jewish citizens has not been heard,
and that we have allowed this vital ques-
ton to slip by. Why have we not taken
up this question openly according to our
usual custom? Every one of us knows
how often we have openly protested
against important and unimportant oc-,
currences, against injustices. which
touched us to a greater or less extent
and now when our liberty, itself, is as
sailed, we have not found it necessary
even to protest.
I consider our silence mistake-and
a great wrong, which we have commit
ted: against ourselves! as Americans and
Jews. bn& .leiwai 81 s7sEWl.s 1@t-ti-- o91.s II

With the $1O,OO0,OOO to be raised by
the Jews of America for the Palestine
Restoration Fund it is proposed to pur-
chase land in Palestine, prepare the
country for Jewish settlement by means
of development of water power, santa

That the solution in part of the Jew
ish problem with relation to the East
European Jew now lies in the opening
up of Palestine to Jewish colonization,
is the belief of Jews and non-Jews all
over the world. Leading diplomats
everywhere, including the more promi-
nent representatives of the peace con-
ference, understand fully the object of
the Jews in creating once more home
land in Palestine for the. oppressed of
East Europe and it is expected that of
fetal action will be taken in the very
near future by the peace commission.
With the creation of Jewish homeland
in Palestine and the appointing, Of a
mandatory nation from one of the lead
ing powers, the dream of the Jewish peo-
pie for nearly 1000 years will be real
lied, and it is hoped that the preliminary
work necessary to the restoration of
Palestine will be accomplished with the
aid of the $1O.0OO,OOO fund now being
raised in the United States.
The appeal for contributions is being
made to Jews and non-Jews alike, as the
restoration of Palestine, sacred to both
Jew and Christian is an international af-
fair and not purely sectarian. Assur-
ances of support have not only come
from the leading Jews of the nation, but
from distinguished Christians through
out the country irrespective of political
party or religious creed. Similarly in
Minneapolis, the local committee has
been promised. the active support of the
leading men and women among the nom

Sir 'Everhard did not reply, but

struck open Lord Oakhurst's cab

and with eager hands opened the
document which she took there

steam piano go out behind a barn
and kick itself in despair, she fell
senseless to the floor.
Sir Everhard FitzArmond picked
up the paper and read its con-
tents. 1t was Lord Oakhurst's
WILL bequeathing all his property
to scientific institution, which
fshould have for its object the in

peach brandy from sawdust.
Sir Everhard glanced quickly
around the room. No one was in
sight. Dropping the will. he rap
idly transferred some valuable or
naments and rare specimens of
gold and silver filigree work from
the center-table to his pockets and
rang the bell for the servants.
