TATERS TAKE TUMBLE

One day last week Frebert A.
Petz attended a farmers meeting
in Port Huron, and made the
speech that drew the warmest ap-
plause and the heartiest laughter.
He told the bunch that at present
prices it cost him about IL bushel
of potatoes to make the round trip
from his farm to the city and pay
for his dinner, where last year he
could have paid the whole expense
with one-half bushel of spuds.
His argument showed that the
price of railroad fare and meals
had not "tumbled like taters. y

Circulating Bogus Quarters.

Bogus lead quarters are in cir
culation in Port Huron and should
be looked out for, according to
Dan Brown, of the First National
Bank.
The money is good imitation of
the silver quarter dollar and is
made in the latest stamp and year.
The counterfeit money may be
easily detected, however, Mr..
Brown says by ringing" it on a
table or desk.

Heavenly Father from above,
Grant us Thy protecting love;
Give us strength from day to day
AS we make Your will our way.
May we view in sacred light,
All the hardships borne for right.
By our fathers of the past,
Grant them rest and peace at last.

Staunch and true for liberty;
Always ready, always brave,
AS We help the world to save.
Bless this, our centennial year,
Guide and guard and be Thou near

Not So Very Long Ago
It was not so very long ago. this
county was all woods,
And the Red Men arrayed for war,
with feather-covered hoods;
Then came the white men from
the East and drove them ali
away,
For they entered in this county,
from up River Claire,
And since that time of founding,
many people have settled there.
UP sprang a sturdy people along
the lakes and streams,
And soon sawmills were busy
turning out large hickory beams.
Large towns have grown in splen-
dor within the past few years,
And the faces Of our forefathers
would not be filled with tears,
For the sturdy race they founded
will never easily fall;
It's founded upon a rock like that
of a stone wall.
But still we labor onward, our
aim is to advance;
We work by day, we work by mite,
we're in no sleepy trance;
SO on we work together, our task,
We do the best.

A Reply to Henry Morgenthau
By SAMUEL UNTERMYER.

Continued from last week.
By SAMUEL UNTERMYER

AdVe attained d degree OF pros
peritv that has evoked the adni-
ration of all impartial observers.
The Jewish colonists have ad-
vanced far beyond the primitive
methods of the Arabs, who have
only impoverished the soil. They
have increased it's productive
qualities by the use of manure,
introduced up-to-date machinery,
and planted numerous groves of
eucalyptus trees in various parts
of the country for the two-fold
purpose of rendering it healthier
and providing needful timber. In
Arabia orange groves $50 boxes
per acre are thought good aver
age, bit the Jewish planter gets
an average of $50 boxes. An eIo-
quent tribute to the efficiency CT
the Jewish colonists was paid
only a few weeks ago Con June
14th) in the British House of
Commons by the Colonial Minis
ter, Mr.. Winston Churchill, who,
referring to his recent visit to
Palestine, said:
II had the opportunity of visit
ing the colony of Rishon-le-Zion,
about twelve miles from Taffa,
and there, from the most inhos-
pltable soil, surrounded on every
side by barrenness and the most
miserable form of cultivation, I
was driven into a fertile and
thriving country estate, where the
scanty soil gave place to good
crops and good cultivation, and
then to vineyards, and finally to
the most beautiful, luxurious
orange groves, all created in
twenty or thirty years by the
exertions of the Jewish commun-
ity who live there"
To strengthen his argument
that Palestine has poor industrial
prospects, Mr.. Morgenthau refers
to the lack of coal and iron, to the
lack of "the skill in technical proc
esses and the experience in the
arts" and to the circumstance, as
he alleges, that Palestine els not
in the path of modern trade cuff
rents" He is so intent upon
pointing out what Palestine lacks
that he fails to mention what it
contains. Palestine possesses
stores of quarrystone, basalt in
Tiberias, calcereous sandstone on
the coast, dolomite and limestone
in different mountain regions, as
phalt in the neighborhood of the
Dead Sea (useful for the produc-
ton of pigments and varnishes),
phosphates in the Judean noun
tains, and sulphur deposits in the
Dead Sea. If there is no coal or
iron there will be compensation
in rich petroleum deposits, if the
borings started by the Standard
Oil Company in 1914 and inter-
rupted by the war are resumed.

MANIFESTED Will certainly not be
lacking to those who settle in
Palestine. 1t will suffice to men
ton preserving and fruit-canning,
oil and soap manufacture (from
the cultivation of olives), the pro-
duction of ethereal oils and per-
fumes. furniture and general
wood industry, tanneries and
leather industries, the cultivation
OF tobacco and the making of
cigarettes, textile and clothing in
dustries, and printing in all it's
branches. "But Palestine," says
Mr.. Morgenthau, 'is not in the
path of modern trade currents"
Where does he think it is? At
the South Pole? Commercially,
it could hardly be in a more ia
vored position, at the very meet
ing place of East and West, on
the great highway from Europe
to India, the Far East and the
Antipodes. Palestine should not
be expected to compete with
America or Great Britain, nor
need it do so, since it will not
have to sustain so large popula-
ton. Mr.. Morgenthau prophe-
sizes that lit will not support more
than one million additional inhab-
ltants.' But is it not worth while
working for the settlement of
even this additional million?
On the general question of the
economic prospects of the coun-
try | should like to quote again
from the recent speech of Mr..
Churchill in the House of Com
mons: (Quotation).
Candidly, I prefer the weighed
and studied utterance of Cabi-
net Minister, made with a full
sense of responsibility, before the
members of the Mother of Parlia-
ments, to the lucubrations of a
retired diplomatist in zone of the
last chapters of his autobiogra-
ply"
Silent on Terms of Mandate
In his criticism of the political
aspect of Zionism, Mr.. Morgen-
thau is significantly silent about
the terms of the British Mandate.
AS an ex-Ambassador, he should
be acquainted with them. He
should know that, as the pream-
bic of the. draft states, Ellis
Britannia Majesty has accepted
the Mandate in respect of Pales-
tine and undertaken to exercise it
on behalf of the League of Ma
tons" in conformity with a num-
Der of precisely defined provi-
sions, and the very first of these
indicates that the sovereign pow
ers of the Mandatory are limited
by the terms of the Mandate.
The draft of the Mandate still
awaits the long-deferred consider
alton and approval of the Council
of the League of Nations, and I'm

Britain would not allow any form
of government in Palestine "that
was not in fact an appanage of
the British Crown" shows that he
bases his views not upon the &C
tual facts and data of the case but
upon the flimsy foundation of his
imaginary hypothesis. 1t is in
deed curious that whilst he is try
ing to belittle Zionist prospects
on the ground of Great Britain's
political interests in Palestine,
the British Cabinet should repeat
eddy defend it's retention of the
mandate for that country against
the increasing criticism of the
"Anti-Waste" party, mainly, if
not solely, upon the ground of the
solemn pledge contained in the
Balfour Declaration and of the
necessity of honoring the pledge
if the moral prestige of Britain is
not to suffer.
But why is Mr.. Morgenthau SO
much concerned about the exact
political future of the Jewish
Community in Palestine? If he
we're, like Mr.. Zangwill, a hun
dred per cent political Zionist, I
could understand him withhold
ing his support unless he received
guarantees about future Jewish
sovereignty. But as he declares
that Zionism is impossible of
realization," and as he alterna-
lively emphasizes that it's realiza-
ton is undesirable, why does he
disparage it because there are no
guarantees concerning the maxi
mum possible demands? He cam
not in the same breath fight us as
an anti-Zionist and then argue
against us as a political maxi
malist." Or perhaps he can &C
complish that acrobatic intellec-
tual straddle!
Ellis Profound Reasons
But when we examine the "pro-
found reasons" as he euphemis-
tically terms them, why the Brit
ish Government will not grant the
Jews "even the name and surface
appearance of a sovereign Gov
ernment," we see again how
superficial is his knowledge of the
subject. According to Mr.. Nor
genthau the reasons are because
the Mohammedans would never
consent to their holy places COM
ing under the control of the Jews,
because the British Government
cannot afford ito trif1e with the
fanatical sensibilities of the Mo-
hammedans in it's Indian posses
sions," and because the Christian
nominations would likewise OBJ
ject to their sacred shrines falling
into the hands of tfc Jews. But
have the Jews ever demanded the
control of tt Mollem or Chris
tian holy places. This man of
straw is fully anticipated in the
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1921-08-26
VIE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD
His Lack of knowledge

grips with the subject, Mr.. Nor
genthau pretends to examine it
from three angles; the economic,
the political and the spiritual. He
is handicapped in his examina-
ton by prejudice, lack of knowl-
edge, narrowness of vision, and
an apparently deliberate inten-
ton to misunderstood or misrep-
resent. He asserts that ''Zionists
have been working for thirty
years backed by millions
of money from philanthropic
Jews of great wealth in France,
England, Germany, and Amer
ica," and points to the apparently
small results of their activity.
The fact is that the Zionist move
ment was founded only in 1897,
and at least six years must be de-
Quoted for the period of inactivity
from the beginning of the war
until the end of the military oc-
cupation of Palestine. Thus, Mr..
Morgenthau's thirty years are re-
duced to eighteen. Within that
period, considering the steadfast
opposition of the Turkish author
tiles and the apathy and even hos
tility of influential Jewish person
alities, the wonder is that the
Zionists were able to accomplish
anything at all. AS for the mil
lions of money about which he
writes, these exist solely in his
imagination. 1t is for these mil
lions that Herzl and Wolfsohn
were always begging in vain. The
financial instrument of the Zion
ist Organization, the Jewish Co.
lonial Trust, never possessed
more than 100000, subscribed
by 100000 shareholders in all
parts of the world; and the Jew
ish National Fund, the land-pur-
chasing agency of the Organiza-
ton, only amounts to about
G4OO,O0O. It is because of the
millions that are needed that DR..
Weizmann came to America, for
without them little more progress
can be made in the future than
in the past.
Mr.. Morgenthau's version Of
the productivity and capacity of
Palestine is erroneous and mis-
leading. He speaks of "a lean
and niggard soil' and of "the
sparse native vegetation" [ do
not know with what authority he
can speak about the soil of Pales
tine, or how much time he has
spent in examining it. I prefer
the judgment of a scholar who, by
virtue of years of personal obser-
walton and research, has estab-
lished a universal reputation as
an authority on Palestine. (Mr.
