less Jews OF the European continent.
CHICAGO EDUCATOR TO
HELP IN CAMPAIGN.
DR.. A. Hoffman, prominent Chicago
educator and lawyer, arrived in Indian
apolis with DR.. Sokolow and Colonel
Patterson to assist in the work Of the
Indianapolis campaign for the fund.
81 am interpreter Of the ideas of the
peace conference said DR.. Sokolow, at
the banquet last night, and you must
understand. first of all, that the ques-
ton Of Palestine Is part and parcel OF
the question of the Near East. The
League of Nations has arranged that
Great Britain has a mandate over Pales-
tine. so hat this land shall enjoy peace.
I hope that some day america may join
his league or will find a better way

The recent Washington conference on
the limitation Of ornaments was a sort
Of peace conference, and l hope that
from this an international organization
will arise TO assure the peace Of the
world for all time.
But, if this be impossible. what Of
war? The Balkan peninsula was the
volcano that fired Europe with war.
Palestine and the Near East must not
be such a volcano. Great Britain's
statesmen. and the statesmen of France
recognize that to assure the peace of the
Near East these countries must have
their national centers. Hence Armenia
has her country. For a nation with a
center cannot be massacred-a country
which Is recognized cannot be over
whelmed, because. in event Of encroach-
HisutS run any rbAAtts AAAA uAt4bn Eau
appeal TO the international court. World
statesmen also realize that the agricul-
turist is the guarantee Of peace, The
farmer wants no trouble or revolution.
He must have peace. SO 1t is %purposed
to COLOMBO Palestine. which has the pro-
lection of Great Britain, with farmers,
and thus assure the peace Of the Near
East.
OBTAINS VIEWPOINT
OF NEW ADMINISTRATIONS.
Recently l was anxious to learn II
your Government under its new Admin
istrati0n viewed the Near East question
az the former Administration had. At
the peace conference I talked with Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary Lansing, and
was delighted ut their deep insight into
the true situation in the Near East.
Therefore was much concerned as to
the viewpoint Of the present Administra-
ton, and when in Washington l was as
sured thn the only difference between
this Administration and the past one Is
on internal questions. and that interna-
tional questions are looked upon in the
same way as during the Wilson Admin
istration.
1.-THE pre-war conception OF Zionism is
unachronistic with our purposes today.
1t is not true to facts. The League Of
Nations has so engineered the shaping
Of the destiny of the Near East that a
new and wonderful opportunity arises to
take out Of Europe millions Of homeless
Jews, many Of them on their way al
ready to the promised land OF Palestine,
and most Of them slowly starving. l
appeal TO you 10 think 1t over-with your
minds, and with your hearts"
