whether any suggestion had ever been
made to Judge Moncure, or to any
other attorney, so far as he knew, that
in bringing a client to the Office of
the attorney, there should be some d.
vision of fees. The Judge replied that
no such suggestion had ever been
made to him, or to any other attor-
ney, so far he knew.
Attorney Frank Stuart then made a
further statement, which was mainly
reiteration of his direct testimony,
regarding eases in which he had been

torney Charles Henry Smith, member
of the. House of Delegates, who is now
in Richmond, had been getting things
by the court, and getting things done
in peculiar manner" On being queS-

referred particularly to certain cases
in which Mr.. Smith appeared as coun
sci for bootleggers.

BALFOUR'S LATEST ZION-
IST UTTERANCE
BY Max RhOade

10y MAX NIOdU0
The past month was rendered
significant in Zionist history by
the remarkable message of
Arthur James Balfour, delivered
to the delegation of the Zionist
Organization of America, which
was received by the statesman at
the British Embassy in Washing
ton.
The tone of warm personal
friendship and sincerity, of firm
support of Zionism and express
sive appreciation of the idealism
of the Movement which animated
Balfour's great speech from be-
ginning to end, more than full
filled the expectations of those
in the delegation.
All possible doubt as to the
consistency of Balfour's friend
ship for the Zionist cause was
forthwith removed.
"Where [ stood then, | stand
now" he declared emphatical1y,
referring to the original issuance
of the Declaration in 1917.
81 can assure you that my in
terest in the cause, my belief in
its final success, my intense de-
sire to see the ideal of the Jew
ish Home really rising in happy
success'before Our eyes, has not
diminished or suffered any cool
ing during the years that have
elapsed since the original De-
claration was made.
The hope I then enter
tanned | entertain still the ideals
for which I have striven, are my
ideals at this moment and it is
a great happiness for me to think
that in the work in which | feel
so great an interest, there are
those like yourselves, able and
willing to make some sacrifices,
always with the highest hopes
and belief in success; to cooper
ate in the work, and make the
first quarter of the Twentieth
Century memorable in the his
tory of the world"
What more could Jews desire
than this eloquent assurance?
After all the Vaccinations of the
enemies of Zionism from with
in and without, the sneers and
the s1urs, the intrigues and ru-
mors, were not these words, in
deed heartening? No wonder the
more than sixty Zionists COM
prising the delegation rose in a
wave of enthusiasm, with such
an outburst of applause that
shook the walls of the great re-.
ception room of the Embassy.
One should have seen the vener-
able philanthropist, Nathan
tional League" of New York, had

THE ANSWER

y
not been in vain. AS one man
Minneapolis arose in it's response
to this great cause. Jews of all
factions and classes forgot their
petty differences and for once re-
membered that they were all
brethren in Israel with a great
duty to perform.
Men who never before were
known to contribute to humani-
tartan cause not only gave law
ishly of their material possessions
but also Of their time and efforts.
The workers who assembled to
attend the banquet at the Raids
son hotel and Auditorium seemed
to have become animated by
sublime fervor. They set about
to accomplish their purpose with
a vim and vigor, with a zest and
zeal, and with an enthusiasm
that was remarkable for it's in
tensity. Their faces were trans
figured with joy because to them
had been given the glorious privi-
lege of alternating the misery of
fellow Jews.
The tears that streamed from
their eyes as they listened to
Judge Harry Fishers gruesome
description of the horrors of the
Ukraine, and the pitiful fight of
the three hundred fifty thousand
Jewish orphans seemed to con-
geal into chain whose links were
stronger than steel and tougher
than iron, binding them all into
a mighty band of toilers for re-
lief. Men who long had been
away from Judaism, with anguish
in their voices arose and asked
forgiveness and consecrated
themselves anew to the cause of
Israel, firmly resolving to work
with might and main until the
great task be finished.
And how we'll the work was
done! Needless of the secrihce
that it might entail, each one
gave and gave and prevailed up
on others to give and give until
the entire quota of One Hundred
Fifty Thousand Dollars for Min
neapolis was almost reached and
will no doubt soon be passed; "a
quota, the achievement of which
was the widest of dreams,
dream which only a Schanfe1d
would dare dream and a Ruben
try to make come true.
What wonderful spectacle to
behold, this outburst of pity and
compassion, this outpouring of
hearts and souls, this noble sacri-
flee of one group of men for an
other, thousands of miles away!
This and similar scenes in St.
Paul and throughout the country
