Letters Of Timely Interest

The following letters are of inter-

ent controversy in Zionistis Circles.
In anwser to Mr.. Freed's letter, Mr.
Rosenfield maintains that Houston
has accepted his main contention,
namely. that delegate should 60 to
the convention as a Juror and not as
a prosecuting attorney. That, regard
less of his individual opinion, for or
against the Keren Hayesod delegate
must demand that the Keren Hayesod
advocates prove their contentious OF

My Dear Jonas:
am in receipt Of your letter Of
yesterday and wish to say in reply
that we are not so much concerned
in the legal quibbling involved in this
controversy as in the prevailing cir
cumstances that those who guided our
destiny, have failed whether rightly
or wrongly in keeping our organiza
ton on a working basis at a crucial
time.
We certainly can not be denied tn,
right to this opinion, without any de-
sire to repudiate anyone.

you not, contrary to your pretensions,

does not alter the fact.
But in reality Houston has sent q
delegate, Judge Dannebaum, UNIN-
STRUCTED, any report to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. While Judge
Dannebaum may be favorable to the
Keren Hayesod, he certainly has an
open mind to act solely on the evi.

vote justly on any question that may
arise, and is not bound to support

have not taken the pains to sell their
ideas to the masses and the tempora-
ry noise made by the Mossinsohns and
Ussichkins is due to the fact that hav-
ing nothing but rhetoric to sell they
happen to be better statesmen than
our American leaders. You would
never have put the Columbia Dry
Goods Company in charge of poets
and diplomats, yet you are ready to
drop our own pilots and entrust the
destiny of the Jewish Ship Of state
to diplomats and professors, who, de-
spite the fact that they have render
ed heroic service during the CESSATION
and birth of Zionism, are proving
themselves quite incapable Of showing
the child no VITO make living and
how to grow into manhood.
And if you make answer that you
prefer poets, professors and diplo.
mats to lawyers and journalists, I
must call your attention to the fact
that Justice Brandeis has well-earn'
ed reputation Of being lawyer who
taught business methods to railroads
and other nationwide corporations,
and that De Haas demonstrated in hi
recent tour of the South that besides
being a diplomat and journalist Of
proven merit, he was one of the few
Zionists in America who could tall

his investment plan for Palestine

Palestine will never belong to the

But stronger in my opinion than
any argument that can be produced
for the administration and against it,
enemies is the fundamental law Of the
land which San Antonio and Houston
seem either never to have heard Of or
conveniently forgotten. That law /.
this: IAN individual under indict-
ment is presumed innocent until his
guilt is proved beyond a REASONABLE,
doubt in open court. think you will
agree with me that the national Zi-
onist Administration is on trial,
think you will concur that the dele
gates to the Cleveland convention
will constitute the jury that its to
hear the evidence and bring in It's
judgment Of guilty or not guilty. II
these be facts, then by what shadow
Of authority does any Zionist Dis
trict PREJUDICE the administration an,
instruct a juror (delegate) in advance
as to what his verdict shall be! This
is surely illegal and surely un-Amer-
lean. The most any Zionist Distric
in America can do is what the Zionist
District Of Dallas has done. Mindful
Of the fact that Judge Mack stated
that there were facts that could only
be divulged at the National Canven-
ton in Cleveland and that all the evi
dence was not in on either side, the
Dallas Zionist District elected It's del
egate with instructions to support ou,'

were presented on the floor Of the
convention facts and evidence which
convinced our delegate that the bess
