The ceremonies here yesterday in
honor OF Or, Chain weizman. presL
dent OF the World Zionist organiza-
ton; DR.. schmarya Levin. Prof. Al
bert Einstein. and the Zionist, cause,
were full OF world suggestiveness.
| Prof. Einstein had sailed, but the
fact that he. has given his great name
to the Zionist cause Is a source Of
pride 10 the Jews who are promoting
the age-long dream of their race.
As Prof EiDstein " gone, ] will
put ON record the fact that when hc
was here, a while ago, some members
OF tho British embassy took adyan-
tsge OF the widespread interest IN him
70 stage Joke. Various persons
were asked 10 meet him at dinner.
A figure looking exactly like him,
and speaking in broken English. was
the guest OF honor and carried IL on
so we'll that not until long after was
Il known that Einstein had not in fact
been present.
SUPPOSED EyNsTEsN sTUMPED.
when the supposed Einsteln said
he must hurry 10 the train we'll
known. New York woman, who hap
pened to be in washington. slipped
in a question that she had been hold
ing down all the evening. She said:
Professor Einstein. hope you
can answer me just one thing be-
fore you go. which is longer, a
mile or a minute7"
The Supposed Einstein looked an
noyed and replied curtly:
Look IL up in the dictionary"
The real Einstein. legitimate pride
Of the Jewish race. said 10 friend
while he was there that the es-
sentials OF his theory were conceived
when he was sixteen. In the twenty
six years since then he has merely
worked out the details
Yesterday ] heard speeches so elo4
auent and profound that the ideals
they embody are not easy for me
to express. l shall leave that task
until tomorrow, when ] hope TO say
things OF interest TO all Jews, to
Christians who have in them spirit
that is universal. and even 10 Henry
Ford.
DIFFERENCES EXPLAINED.
Today / am going to make clear
what lies under the much advertised
differences between the present world
officials and the Americans who were
formerly prominent in the movement.
IL these differences are clearly
EFhbpeu " seems mat ~ outnt not
to be difficult to straighten them
out. Both groups are aiming at the
same thinge Both are servants OF as
beautiful a cause as exists on earth.
The Americans object 20 having the
Zionist organization as such take part
in straightening out the wrongs OF
/ the Jews In various parts OF the world
They believe that course would arouse
anita gonism and raise the-ory ofinter-
nationalism.
The controlling officials, on the other
hand. believe the sensitiveness of the
American Jews on this point merely
Is the temporary result of the euor-
nous campaign being carried on by
Henry Ford TO create antf-semitic feel
ing in this country.
! The answer given to this expiana-
tion Is that the difference developed
long before Ford's anti-semitic, drive
began.
THE SECOND ISSUE.
The second split Is on how the Zion
ist organization should relate itself
| to the situation in Palestine. The
/ present officials wish 10 push on the
1 spot the cause OF Jewish nationalisnf.
The Americans. on the other hand,
wish to deal entirely through Sir Her
bert Samuel the British hign commIs-
/ sioner. They fear the nationalist is
sue would hurt them. The Arabs are
far more numerous than the Jews.
The idea OF the Americans IL that
the business OF the Zionists is 10
] get TO Palestine such Jews as wish
to go there. and then let the develop
