EDl TOR lAL
THE STUPIDITY OF THE
OPPOSITION TO SIR
HERBERT SAMUEL.

One of the worst follies that
group of Palestinian Zionists are
committing at the present time is
their opposition to the High
Commissioner Sir Herbert Sam
uel, on account of some of his re-
cent acts. Sir Herbert's position
in Palestine has been and still is
one of the most difficult that any
English official has ever been
called upon to occupy in any part
of the British empire. The hos
tility of the Christian and Mos
lem elements of Palestine to him,
a Jew and Zionist, could be taken
for granted from the very first.
That the Tory and other reac-
tionary Jew-haters of England
would also make him the target
of their attacks was a matter of
course. In the face of this hos
tility he was to accomplish task
never before imposed upon a rep
resentative of the English gov
eminent. He was to reconcile
the natives not only to the idea
of the British mandate, which
means Britain's rule over Pales-
tine, but also to the idea of turn
ing Palestine into a Jewish home
land under such rule.
That Sir Herbert was chosen
for this task shows that the Brit
ish government had sufficient
confidence that he possessed the
necessary wisdom and tact for
it's accomplishment. And so far
he has furnished ample proof
that this confidence was not mis-
placed. But now a group of
Zionists in Palestine charge him
with excessive timidity in hand
ling the delicate situation, with
undue Partially to the hostile
Moslem- Christian combination,
and with DISREGARD of Zionist in
terests.
True, Sir Herbert has by every

friendship OF the natives. AS a
result of the recent riots he has
temporarily put stop to Jewish
mass-immigration. He has taken
no determined stand against the
constant and pernicious agitation
that is being carried on by the
Moslem- Christian com b in e
against the realization of the Bal
four Declaration. He has not
acted as theoretically as possible
in having the instigators of and
the participants of the recent
Arab riots and attacks severely
punished.
Yet, we believe that in all that
the High Commissioner has
shown himself the wisest and
most tactful administrator that
both the English government and
the Zionists could wish to have
in Palestine. He knows that the
one thing necessary for the car
rying out of the Zionist idea is to
quiet and appease the excited
minds of the Arabs, and to con-
vince them that the Jewish home
land will be as much of a boon
to them as it will be to the Jews
themselves. He knows that
eventually the Arabs will be rec
onciled, that the masses of them
would even now be reconciled,
were it not for the unceasing agi-
tation carried on by certain SIMS
ter selfish forces in Palestine and
abroad, forces that are opposed
both to the British mandate and
the Balfour Declaration, and that
are using the natives, otherwise
a peaceable folk, and not un-
friendly to the Jews, as their
cats-paws. Among these forces,
the political and religious reac-
tionaries of France and other
European countries, and the land
holding Effendies of Palestine and
Syria who have practically kept
the natives in a condition of serf
dom, are the most mischievous
and treacherous, treacherous be-
cause their Vaccinations are car
ried on under cover.
The main effort of the British
administration in Palestine and
of the Palestinian Zionists, there
fore, must be to counterfeit the
enemy's plot by disarming the
natives suspicious, distrust and
hostility, by showing them that
the English and the Zionists are
there for their country's good,
which means their good, and not
it's harm; that the Jews are not
their enemies and exploiters, but
their friends and well-wishers.
The poisoned mind of the Arab
must be cured and soothed. He
must be gradually accustomed to
living peacefully and harmonious
1y with his more energetic neigh

it's economies, fantastical in its
politics, and sterile in its spirit
ual ideals" All this is said of
the effort and movement to help
a peoples national and cultural
rebirth, people that until very
recent times was fully conscious
of it's distinct nationality, cher
ished it's national memories and
hopes, and it's national cultural
possessions. The noblest product
on this terrestrial sphere is the
nation-a nations life and a ma
tons culture. The noblest birth
is the birth of a nation. What
pride we take in the American
nation-the youngest of all, and
in it's origin a conglomerate OF all
the races and nations OF the
world! Yet we, somehow, think
of it as the grandest creation in
the history of the world. Yet
here is one of the oldest nations
of the world, the Jews, with his
tory and a culture, second to none
in grandeur, struggling to resume
it's active national life; and Mr..
Morgenthau speaks of it as a
Surrender" That is fanatical
Philistinism with a vengeance!
At the same time DR.. Shmarya
Levin indites a caustic criticism
of the deposed leaders of Ameri-
can Zionism because of their op-
position to Diaspora Nationalism,
and their desire to concentrate all
efforts on work in Palestine.
With considerable logic chopping
and a show Of profound erudition
he attempts to show that they are
no Zionists at all. With all his
acuteness DR.. Levin evidently
cannot see that an American Jew
may be Zionist, and may bend
all his efforts toward the restora-
ton of Jewish national life in
Palestine, but cannot and burst
not be a nationalist Jew here.
Here we do not belong to the
Jewish but to the American ma
ton, though we may cherish the
hope of seeing the Jewish nation
restored in Palestine, and may
lend our help in such accom-
plishment. That is Our Zionism.
That is true of the Jews of Eng
land, France, Germany, Italy, and
all other countries where the
Jews have of late become integral
parts of other nations and have
identified themselves with their
life and culture. DR.. Levin, the
wanderer from land to land, and
many others like him, who have
so far failed to strike root in any
country, cannot understand that,
and insists on being a national
ist Jew even in America or Eng
land. That is his business. But
he cannot read Justice Brandeis

MAY LOSE
HIS ARM

Interna ationaI News Service.

POLO GROUNDS, NEW YORK,
Oct. 11.-With Babe Ruth lost to
them for the rest of the series
and game in the bank to the
good, the battling Yankees tackled
the Giants in the sixth game of
the world series here. this after
noon full of fight and sdstermined
to win despite the disabling of
their big siege gun.
WarnsI He May Lose Arm.
Ruth is out for the series. His
arm u swollen from shoulder to elbow
to the size of his leg. and his physic-
ian, DIR. George King, told him that he
must either stay out of the Yankee
lineup or take the chance Of having
his arm amputated. The infected ell
bow, lanced Saturday night, has
spread poison through his upper arm
and the member is giving him intense
pain.
The loss of Ruth Is a severe blow to
the Yankees, but Huggins and his play
ers will not admit that they are handi-
capped for with three victories against
two for the Giants they have the edge,
and in case they should win today's
game they will be, as the fans say, 'all

Shawkey or Harper Scheduled.
Manager Huggins said at noon that
he had the choice Of two pitchers and
would use the one who looked best In
warming up. Harry Harper and Bob
Shawkey were the slabmen in qces-
ton. Shawkey lost the third game
of the series to the Giants. Harper
has not yet shown his wares to the
Men o. McGraw but with viciously
hot sun beaming down, conditions
were ideal for the Yank left handler,
and the critics favored him as the
probable pitcher.
