THE ZIONIST CONTROVERSY.

ne movement tor the, establishment of a lew
ish nation in Palestine is marked BY a rather bitter
controversy among the Jews themselves. I'm
douDtedly most Jews regard the establishment of a
separate nation in the land of their forefathers as a
thing greatly to be desired but there are those
among them who consider such a project visionary,
and unsourd from every standpoint, and are doing
al that they can to- discouragelit. There has lust
been published a spirited reply by Samuel Inter
nyer to a statement recently made BY Henry Nor
genthau, the latter being in opposition to the Zion
Sist plans: MI. Unternyer is an eminent New York
lawyer who among other things has won distinc-
ton as the chief counsel Of the famous Lockwood
investigating committee, and Mr.. Morgenthau is a
former United States ambassador. In a controv-
ersy7 IN which men of such en1inence take Opposite
SIDES it ls scarcely possible for the uniformed gen
eral public to reach a satisfactory conclusion,
Probably popular opinion in general sympa-
thizss strongly with the Zionist aims and ambitions.
While the Jews constitute only a small minority Of
the civilized population of.the world, most Of those

religious history the same background as that of

While this feature Of the subject may have
slight importance it is to be, noted that the rather
acrimonious controversy which divides Jews into
two groups on the subject may BE taken as 4 DEM
'onstration of the utter falsity Of many Of the asser-
|tions which have recently been made in magazines
and other articles with reference to Jewish purposes.
and ambitions. If the Jews were, as has been.
charged, organized through all their influential So
|@cietics into a body for the conquest Of the world in
l'ail its important activities; political, social, and re-
lligious. as well as commercial, there would be no
been the slightest ground for the belief in the ex-
i~1stence of such a conspiracy, but those who may
have been troubled by the statements which have
been made may take some comfort in the fact that
the Jews themselves are not united on one Of the,
their race.
