The people of Kentucky are
being asked to vote for two a.
mendments to the constitution.
One is to prevent the voters from
e!ecting the State Superintend'

is to allow the officers not so
elected by the people to spend 10
per cent of the school funds for
purposes other than paying the
teachers. They both need killing

the people electing every officer
of the land, and further believes
in the money collected for one
purpose being spent for that pur.

THE WISH NITOR

pected, to feel the call Of their Nation.
atty and to tax themselves for that
nationality on the principle Of the
"Maaser." The Jewish Nationality has
no legal right to levy taxes on its
nationals but again by the underlying
theory Of Zionism, each individual has
the right, the duty, to tax himself for
the Ideals Of his people.
The leaders Of American Zionism
objected to the Keren Hayesod, giving
their reasons that the Keren Hayesod
had been hastily endorsed in London
that the Charter Of the Keren Haye-
sod grants broad powers to the Cor
poration in the collection, the manage
ment and the distribution of funds
that the directorate of the Keren Hay
esod was self-perpetuating, closed
organization. They objected to tho
men who. are on the present board,
objected bitterly to Ushisskin and to
Jabotinsky.
Such objections are false on the
face. The American delegation was in
London when the Keren Hayesod was
adopted. The American Delegation
voted for the Keren Hayesod in Lon
don. Our leaders did not at that time
raise the specter Of Diaspora National
ism. 1t was only when they returned
to the United States and saw how
popular the Keren Hayesod was be-
coming in Europe, when they realized
how popular it would undoubtedly be
in the United States, when they real
lied that the principle Of the 'Maaser'
meant the virtual unification Of all
classes Of Jewry on broad platform
that would give power TO the World
Zionist Organization and take iron.
the American Zionist Organization the
only prestige II ever had, the control
Of the purse-strings, only then did our
leaders see the horrible specter Of n
Diaspora Nationalism stalking
through the Jewish world.
The powers Of any corporation are
always made manifold and broad. A
corporation is an artificial person;
while n natural person can do any le-
gal act, corporation can only do
those things provided for in its char
ter, hence the charter powers are made
as broad as possible. ANY business
man, or lawyer, can tell you that an
Oklahoma Corporation organized to
make gasoline, can drill oil wells, build
pipe lines, own real estate and houses,
own tank cars, borrow money, buy
and sell and exchange anything, any,
where, at any time, and also make
gasoline. The objection that the char
ter powers are broad is laughable to
any lawyer or business man. Did our
leaders then infer that the application
of those powers would be so broad as
to 90 beyond the field Of Zionism? Did
they really fear that some some Of the
money Of the Keren Hayesod would be
spent outside Of Palestine! Why not
We must recognize the Diaspora. We
cannot close our eyes to the "golus.'
II the facts are, and the facts are,
that three hundred thousand Jews are
helplessly stranded in the European
ports, without a haven, without a
country to which to 90 or home to
which to return. Sleeping in the open,
living Heaven alone knows how, starv'
ing, wasted by disease, dying by the
hundreds, we say that their plight is a
