The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1921-11-04
THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD
A CHRISTIAN VIEW OF ZIONISM.


"would much prefer to have another
man to deal with in Palestine" A
pamphlet entitled Summary OF the
Position of the Zionist Organization
of America in Conference with DR..
Weizmann and Associates" explains
this situation:
Principles and Policies
The Zionist Organization of Ameri-
ca stands for
l. Concentration of the Zionist
Organizations activities on Palestine
as against diffusion on "Gegenwarts-
arbeit" and Diaspora Nationalism.
2. The Zionist Organization as the
Jewish Agency versus the proposal,
made repeatedly since 1919, to sub
stitute for the Zionist Organization,
a coalition composed of representa-
tives of Zionist and non-Zionist or
CARNATIONS or of those elected by a
general Jewish congress.
3. Commonwealth versus Cultural
Center. Primary emphasis on, and
direction of activities to the economic
upbuilding of Palestine, as against
primary emphasis upon general Gull
tural activities. A living culture
creating and culture-radiating Israel
cannot arise and endure without per-
manent economic foundations.
a. Separation of funds for eco
nomic development in Palestine from
those destined for communal pur-
poses, as opposed to commingling OF
all funds and consequent disregard OF
responsibilities created and trusts
imposed.
5. Budgetary system and eficien-
CIV in operations in Palestine as OPP
posed to the present financial policies
of the Zionist Commission.
6. A policy of federalism promot-
ing strong responsible federations, as
opposed to a Capitalization imposing
rigid uniformity in methods and
means as we'll as end.
By Gegenwartsarbeit is meant, l
believe, national cultural work among
Jews at large, scattered among all
nations Tin the "Diaspora"). It could
not exist without the theory of Dias-
pora Nationalism, which was rejected
by the American organization with
the declaration that "the restoration
of the Jewish people to Palestine
does not imply that the Jewish peo-
pie, as whole, or any section thereof
in lands other than Palestine is
political entity" To have taken any
other than the American position
would not only have justified the
worst fears of anti-Zionist Jews, but
would have violated the spirit of the
Balfour Declaration which speaks of
the establishment Of a Jewish home
land in Palestine without prejudicing
"the rights and political status en-
joyed by Jews in any other country"
Diaspora Nationalism was born of
East European conditions and the
War. The Commonwealth as over
against the Cultural Center idea, is
merely American common sense, as
opposed to precipitate idealism; and
that again is Russian, though very
old difference. AS for the other
points, separation Of investment from
charity funds. and the employment of
budgetary system: to mere Ameri-
can-who to Russian would seem,
like the Russian to the American, to
be standing on his head-they would
leave no doubt as to the. objection
able character of the financial poll
cies to which they are opposed.
Mr.. Henry Morgenthau's attitude
toward Zionism lies at one extreme
