tien is provided to fill any vacancy

the existing departments, the meas
,ure providing. however that all de-
partment heads shall be appointed
by the mayor. subject to the ap-
proval of the city council.

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

the type of men who in the past
themselves responded to all ap-
peals for the needy; only yester-
day they were able and willing to
help others; now they are them
selves in need.
What they require is not mere
ly temporary help. They require
funds to re-establish themselves,
even on a small scale. But the
funds must be raised quickly.
Every dollar given NOW is
worth several given later on. The
sooner the sufferers from the
flood are able to get on their feet,
financially, the less need there
will be to help them in other
ways. The effort to raise five
thousand dollars locally, while
initiated by the B'nai Birth, is
not meant to be confined to the
members of the lodge. All Min
neapolis Jews are called on to put
themselves in the place of the
flood sufferers, to imagine how
they would have wanted their fell
low Jews to respond had they
been in need, and then to act as
they would have wanted others
to act. But the watchwords of
the campaign should be HELP

of suitable bodies representing
the adherents of the religion
concerned" The draft even pro-
vides that in the event of the
termination of the British Man
date, the Council of the League of
Nations shall make arrangements
for safeguarding the aforesaid
rights Gin perpetuity, under guar
antee of the League" Hence the
terrible perils that Mr.. Morgen-
thau foresees are the mere fig
ment of most undiplomatic
imagination. The real reason
why the British Government will
not grant the Jews or any other
people "even the name and sur
face appearance of sovereign
government ruling Palestine" is
because it has no power to do
so. The British Government
simply holds Palestine in trust
on behalf of the League of Ma
tons. Politically and legally, the
ultimate arbiter of the country is
the League of Nations. Human
ly and actually, the ultimate arbl-
ter is the Jewish people, for upon
it's attitude and decision alone,
now and in the coming years, will
the destiny of the country de-
pend.
A Narrow-Minded Conception
When we come to the final Sec
ton of the article, in which Mr..
Morgenthau undertakes to deal
with the spiritual aspects of Zion
ism we cannot conceal our aston
ishment, for he seems to under
stand by spiritual values the en-
joyment of material comfort, So
cial advancement, and civic equal
ity. He emphasizes the manifold
opportunities that are open to
Jews in America and thus tries to
discount the advantages OF a eW-
ish resettlement in Palestine.
Such narrow-minded conception
of the Jewish question savors

He points to "the brave Jews" in
England who fought for political
emancipation as an argument
against Zionism, but he overlooks
the significant fact that the most
prominent Zionists in England
are Lord Rothschild, the lineal
descendant Of the first Jew who
entered the House of Commons,
and Sir Alfred Mond, a member
of the present Cabinet. He also
omits to observe that it was
whilst the battle for civil rights
was being fought by the Jews in
England that one of the most dis
tinguished among them, Sir
Moses Montefore, by his seven
pilgrimages to Palestine, laid the
first foundations of the Jewish
colonization of that country. He
refers to "the wise Jews of
France" who "have fought this
same BATTLE" oblivious of the fact
that in their case a battle was
rendered superfuous by the
French Revolution, and he fails to
draw the moral from "the noble
munifcence of Baron Edmond de
Rothschild who has lavished a
fortune upon the Jewish colonies
in Palestine.
Mr.. Morgenthau emphasizes
that the "anti-Zionist Jews of
America have found that the
spiritual life in modern times can
be most fully enjoyed by those
people who accept the benehcent
progress which the world at large
has made in science, industry, and
the art Of government" Does he
suggest that Zionists, whether in
America or elsewhere, are indif-
ferent or opposed to the benefits
of science, industry and the art
of government? Does he not
know that science is taught in all
the Jewish schools of Palestine;
that the Jews are doing all they
can in the present difficult times
to foster industry there; that the
art of just and benefcent govern
ment is passionately desired
there? Does he not know that
one of the most ambitious enter
prises of the Zionist Organization
is to establish a Hebrew Univer-
sity at Jerusalem, which shall be
abreast of the highest scholarship
of the day and give lead in
science? Or has he not heard
that the greatest thinker of the
day, the second Newton, Profess
sor Einstein, is an ardent Zionist
and is working for the success
full promotion of the University?
That Mr.. Morgenthau should re-
fer to spiritual values yet makes
no allusion to the wealth of spir-
itual potentialities contained in
the Jewish resettlement of Pales-
tine is typical of his range of

could exercise tranquilizing in
fuence in a VIGOROUSLY restless
past of the world.
Written in Mood Egotisrn
There is just one aspect of the
question, and that not the least
important, upon which Mr.. Nor
genthau does not touch at all and
which | painfully miss. That is
the terrible plight of the Jews in
Eastern Europe, who are now
passing through worse tragedy
than any that has been known in
the annals of Israel since the mid
die ages, and perhaps even sur
passing in the mere volume of
unspeakable horror the tale of
prosecutions of many centuries.
Mr.. Morgenthau's article seems
to have been written in a mood
of personal egotism and sort of
moral vacuum, alive only to the
financial success, the social posi-
ton, and the material reward that
the Jews in America can gain. He
tells us that the Jews in France
have found France to be their
Zion, the Jews in England, Eng
land, and the Jews in America,
America. But what of the mil
lions of Jews in distracted Russia,
in bloodstained Ukraine, in intol-
Grant Poland and Rumania, in
Anti-Semitic Austria, Hungary
and Germany? Have they found
their Zion yet? They are seeking
it where their forefathers have al
ways sought it, and where hun
dreds of thousands of their breth-
rem in other countries are helping
them to find tin Palestine. But
they will not reach it unless there
is greater cooperation and more
generous sacrifice on the part of
all Jews who are enjoying the
financial success, the social posi-
ton, and the material reward
which Mr.. Morgenthau holds in
such high esteem.
If at such time of unparalleled
Jewish suffering and stress any
Jew of means and influence still
regards himself as a Jew, fails, by
reason of prejudice or baseless
selfish fear, to, help his fellow
Jews to enter the avenue of sal
walton now open in Palestine, and
even deters others from helping,
it is he who is guilty not only of
a dereliction of duty but of
craven betrayal which not even
the most plausible of diplomatic
apologies can excuse or EXTENT
ate. Particularly unworthy is the
demagogic appeal to race preju-
dice on the baseless pretext that
there is an element of disloyalty
to Americanism on the part of
American Jews in championing
Zionism. 1t is gratuitous insult

come to mind at the moment, to
say that they are guilty Of the
unspeakable treachery of promot-
ing a movement that seeks to ur-
derminc the loyalty of Jews to
the countries of which they are
citizens. Words are inadequate
to characterize the offence that
Mr.. Morgenthau has committed
in his misdirected zeal to weaken
a movement by rehashing stale
objections that have for years
been answered over and over
again. AS one who has known
him from early youth perhaps l
will be pardoned for expressing
my doubt that he should be held
responsible for all that appears in
that article above his name and
the hope that nothing approach
ing it will be disclosed in the
forthcoming history of his life
that has been announced under
the grandiloquent title "All in a
Lifetime" Curiosity will be
aroused to a high pitch to learn
what unheard of accomplishments
are to be revealed under cover of
this mysterious ALL!
